Abstract

Embodiments provide a light emitting device package including a substrate, a light emitting structure disposed under the substrate and including a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer, first and second electrodes connected to the first and second conductive semiconductor layers, a first pad connected to the first electrodes in first-first through-holes penetrating the second conductive semiconductor layer and the active layer, and a first insulation layer disposed between the first pad and the second conductive semiconductor layer and between the first pad and the active layer to cover the first electrodes in a first-second through-hole, and a second pad connected to the second electrode through a second through-hole penetrating the first insulation layer and electrically spaced apart from the first pad. The second pad does not overlap the first insulation layer in the first-second through-hole in a thickness direction of the light emitting structure.
