In a light emitting diode package or a light emitting diode, a cover body having an opening with a reflecting surface is attached on an upper portion of a base body on which a light emitting diode element is mounted. The base body is formed of alumina ceramics having a pore diameter of 0.10 to 1.25 .mu.m or a porosity of 10% or more, and a thermal via is formed in the base body. Accordingly, it is possible to improve luminance and heat radiating characteristics of the light emitting diode packag...
