Abstract

A light emitting module is disclosed. The light emitting module includes a circuit board, a plurality of light emitting devices mounted on the circuit board and spaced apart from each other, molding parts wrapping the respective light emitting devices, and a reflective member disposed on the circuit board to surround the light emitting devices. The reflective member has a height greater than that of each of the molding parts. The reflective member has a plurality of openings exposing the light emitting devices, and each of the openings has a reflective side wall extending upward from the circuit board.

Claims (47)
