     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a light emitting device package, a manufacturing method thereof, and a vehicle lamp and a backlight unit including the same, and more particularly, to a small light emitting device package, a method of manufacturing a wafer-level light emitting device package, and a vehicle lamp and a backlight unit including the same. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     A light emitting diode is an inorganic semiconductor device capable of emitting light through recombination of electrons and holes and is used in various fields including displays, vehicle lamps, general lighting, and the like. A light emitting diode has various merits such as long lifespan, low power consumption and rapid response, and a light emitting device package including such a light emitting diode is expected to replace conventional light sources. Due to various merits of the light emitting diode, the light emitting device package is applied to various fields, for example, a vehicle lamp and a backlight unit. 
     A typical light emitting device package generally includes a substrate, a light emitting chip mounted on the substrate, an encapsulation material encapsulating the light emitting chip, a housing supporting the encapsulation material, and a lens disposed on the light emitting chip. However, the typical light emitting device package requires a separate packaging process independent of a process of manufacturing a light emitting chip, thereby causing complication of the manufacturing process while increasing manufacturing costs. Moreover, since such a light emitting device package requires a substrate for mounting the light emitting chip, there is a limit in miniaturization of the package. 
     In order to simplify the process of manufacturing such a light emitting device package, a wafer level process is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0119350 A and the like. Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0119350 A discloses a method of manufacturing a light emitting device module, in which a light emitting device is directly mounted on a substrate and a lens surrounding the light emitting device is directly mounted on the substrate, thereby minimizing and simplifying the manufacturing process. 
     However, the light emitting device module disclosed in the publication requires the substrate for forming the lens. Thus, in order to manufacture a light emitting apparatus like the light emitting device module, it is necessary to provide a packaging process for mounting the light emitting device on the substrate, and the light emitting device must include a secondary substrate in addition to a growth substrate. Such a typical light emitting apparatus cannot be regarded as a wafer level package, which does not employ other substrates except the growth substrate, and has a limit in miniaturization. 
     In addition, when a light emitting diode is applied to a vehicle lamp and a backlight unit, a light emitting device package including such a light emitting diode can suffer from a problem of light leakage. As used herein, light leakage means leakage of light through a side surface of the light emitting device package. That is, light leakage means that light leaks through other regions of the light emitting device package such as the side surface thereof instead of illuminating a region in front of the light emitting device package. 
     When light leakage occurs from the light emitting device package in the vehicle lamp, a cutoff line corresponding to a border line between a bright section and a dark section generated upon illumination of a region in front of the vehicle lamp with light emitted from the vehicle lamp becomes unclear. As a result, an undesired region is illuminated upon driving of a vehicle, causing hindrance of sight of other drivers, and the light emitting device package suffers from light loss due to light leakage through the side surface thereof. 
     In addition, when light leakage occurs from the light emitting device package in the backlight unit, an outer periphery of a display becomes brighter than a central region thereof or spots can be generated over the display screen. In some cases, the display can suffer from deterioration in contrast ratio and reduction of viewing angle. Moreover, the display can suffer from color deviation, thereby causing deterioration of image quality. 
     Korean Patent No. 10-0519592 (Registration Date: Sep. 29, 2005) discloses a light emitting diode display capable of preventing light leakage. The light emitting diode display includes a light emitting diode (LED) chip and a reflector, on which a light absorption sheet and a light absorption layer are disposed to absorb light scattered at an edge of an upper surface of the reflector. This light emitting diode display prevents light leakage by guiding light emitted from the light emitting diode chip to meet a structure for prevention of light leakage after traveling through air. Thus, this light emitting diode display has a large volume and allows a limited number of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to be mounted on a printed circuit board. Moreover, a secondary substrate must be provided together with a growth substrate to a light emitting device, thereby causing a limit in miniaturization of the light emitting device.

     BEST MODE 
     Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are provided by way of example so as to fully convey the spirit of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. Accordingly, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein and can also be implemented in different forms. In the drawings, widths, lengths, thicknesses, and the like of elements can be exaggerated for clarity and descriptive purposes. When an element or layer is referred to as being “disposed above” or “disposed on” another element or layer, it can be “directly disposed above” or “directly disposed on” the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers can be present. Throughout the specification, like reference numerals denote like elements having the same or similar functions. 
       FIG. 1  is a sectional view of a light emitting device package  1  according to one exemplary embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , the light emitting device package  1  includes a light emitting chip  110 , a wavelength conversion unit  121 , and a reflective unit  130 . The light emitting device package  1  may further include a lens  150 . 
     The light emitting chip  110  includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and particularly, electrode pads (not shown) disposed on the lower surface thereof. With the structure wherein the light emitting chip  110  includes the electrode pads on the lower surface thereof, the light emitting device package  1  does not need a separate electrode and the electrode pads can act as electrodes of the light emitting device package  1 . With this structure, the light emitting device package  1  can be miniaturized. 
     The light emitting chip  110  includes the electrode pads on the lower surface thereof, and may include any type of light emitting diode, for example, a flip-chip type light emitting diode. 
     The wavelength conversion unit  121  may cover the upper surface of the light emitting chip  110  and may further cover a side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . The wavelength conversion unit  121  may have a constant thickness, or may be formed such that an upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121  has a different thickness than a side surface thereof. It is possible to adjust color characteristics of light emitted from the light emitting device package  1  through adjustment of the thickness of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . 
     The wavelength conversion unit  121  may include a phosphor and a resin, in which the phosphor may be mixed with the resin to be randomly or evenly dispersed in the resin. The phosphors included in the wavelength conversion unit  121  can convert light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  into light having different wavelengths than the light from the light emitting chip  110 . Accordingly, the light emitting device package  1  can emit various colors and it is possible to realize a white light emitting device. 
     The resin may include a polymer resin such as an epoxy resin or an acryl resin, or a silicone resin, and may act as a matrix for dispersing the phosphor therein. 
     The phosphor can convert light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  into light having different wavelengths therefrom through excitation of the light. The phosphor may include various phosphors known to a person having ordinary knowledge in the art, and may include at least one among, for example, garnet phosphors, aluminate phosphors, sulfide phosphors, oxynitride phosphors, nitride phosphors, fluoride phosphors, and silicate phosphors. However, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     On the other hand, characteristics of the light converted by the wavelength conversion unit  121  can be freely regulated by adjusting the phosphor included in the wavelength conversion unit  121 , the thickness of the wavelength conversion unit  121 , the resin in the wavelength conversion unit  121 , and the like. 
     The reflective unit  130  may cover the side surface of the light emitting chip  110  and may further cover the wavelength conversion unit  121  formed on the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . Thus, the wavelength conversion unit  121  covering the side surface of the light emitting chip  110  may be interposed between the light emitting chip  110  and the reflective unit  130 . 
     The reflective unit  130  serves to reflect light. With the structure wherein the reflective unit  130  is formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the light emitting device package  1 , the light emitting device package  1  allows light emitted through the light emitting chip  110  and the phosphor to be collected above the light emitting chip. However, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and a directional angle of the light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  can be regulated by adjusting reflectivity and light transmittance of the reflective unit  130 , as needed. 
     The reflective unit  130  may include a resin and may further include fillers capable of reflecting or scattering light. 
     The resin may be a transparent or translucent resin, and may include a silicone resin, or a polymer resin such as an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a urethane resin, and the like. In this exemplary embodiment, the resin may be a silicone resin. 
     The fillers may be uniformly dispersed in the resin. The fillers may be selected from any materials capable of reflecting or scattering light, and may include, for example, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ), and the like. The reflective unit  130  may include at least one of the above fillers. Reflectivity or a degree of light scattering of the reflective unit  130  can be regulated by adjusting the kind or concentration of fillers. 
     An upper surface of the reflective unit  130  may have the same height as an upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . That is, as shown in the drawings, the upper surface of the reflective unit  130  may be flush with the upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . With this structure, the lens  150  can be more stably disposed on the light emitting chip  110 . 
     Further, the wavelength conversion unit  121  may have a side surface subjected to plasma treatment. Accordingly, bonding strength between the wavelength conversion unit  121  and the reflective unit  130  increases, thereby improving stability and reliability of the light emitting device package  1 . 
     The lens  150  may be disposed on the light emitting chip  110 . Further, a lower surface of the lens  150  has a larger area than the upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 , whereby the lens  150  can cover the entirety of the upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . With this structure, the lens  150  allows the light converted by the wavelength conversion unit  121  to be more effectively emitted to the outside therethrough. 
     The lens  150  may be a silicone resin and may be formed of any material without limitation. The lens  150  may have a semi-spherical shape as shown in the drawings, or may have other shapes such as a planar shape and a shape with a concave portion at a center thereof in order to obtain a desired orientation pattern of light. 
     On the other hand, the lens  150  may be omitted in order to reduce the overall height of the light emitting device package  1 . 
     As described above, the light emitting device package  1  does not include a separate secondary substrate or a separate lead electrode and includes the light emitting chip  110 , the wavelength conversion unit  121  and the reflective unit  130  that are closely formed to one another, thereby achieving miniaturization. 
       FIG. 2  is a sectional view of a light emitting device package according to another exemplary embodiment. 
     A light emitting device package  2  shown in  FIG. 2  is generally similar to the light emitting device package  1  described with reference to  FIG. 1  except that the wavelength conversion unit  123  is not formed on the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . In the following descriptions, the different features of the light emitting device package  2  shown in  FIG. 2  are mainly discussed. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the light emitting device package  2  includes a light emitting chip  110 , a wavelength conversion unit  123 , and a reflective unit  130 . The light emitting device package  2  may further include a lens  150 . 
     The wavelength conversion unit  123  may have a flat bar shape and may cover an upper surface of the light emitting chip  110 . Accordingly, the wavelength conversion unit  123  is not formed on a side surface of the light emitting chip  110 , and the reflective unit  130  may directly cover the side surface of the light emitting chip  110  and may further cover a side surface of the wavelength conversion unit  123 . Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 2 , the side surface of the wavelength conversion unit  123  may be coplanar to the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . 
     In the light emitting device package  2 , the light emitting chip  110 , the reflective unit  130  and the lens  150  are similar to those of the light emitting device package described with reference to  FIG. 1 , and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. 
       FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b    are a sectional view and a plan view of a light emitting device package according to a further exemplary embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b   , a light emitting device package  3  includes a unit light emitting device  10  and a light blocking unit  140 . The unit light emitting device  10  includes a light emitting chip  110 , a wavelength conversion unit  121 , and a reflective unit  130 . 
     The light emitting chip  110  includes an upper surface, a side surface, a lower surface, and particularly, electrode pads (not shown) disposed on the lower surface. With the structure wherein the light emitting chip  110  includes the electrode pads disposed on the lower surface thereof, the light emitting device package  3  does not need a separate electrode and the electrode pads can act as electrodes of the light emitting device package  3 . With this structure, the light emitting device package  3  can be miniaturized. 
     The light emitting chip  110  includes the electrode pads disposed on the lower surface thereof, and may include any type of light emitting diode, for example, a flip-chip type light emitting diode. 
     The wavelength conversion unit  121  may cover the upper surface of the light emitting chip  110  and may further cover the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . The wavelength conversion unit  121  may have a constant thickness, or may be formed such that an upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121  has a different thickness than a side surface thereof. Further, the side surfaces of the wavelength conversion unit may differ from each other depending upon the shape or pattern of the light emitting chip  110 . It is possible to adjust color characteristics of light emitted from the light emitting device package through adjustment of the thickness and the kind of material of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . 
     The wavelength conversion unit  121  may include a phosphor and a resin, in which the phosphor may be mixed with the resin to be randomly or evenly dispersed in the resin. The phosphors included in the wavelength conversion unit  121  can convert light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  into light having different wavelengths than the light from the light emitting chip  110 . Accordingly, it is possible to realize various unit light emitting devices  10  emitting various colors, for example, an amber-based unit light emitting device  10 , a red color-based unit light emitting device  10 , a green color-based unit light emitting device  10  and a white color-based unit light emitting device  10 . 
     The resin may include a polymer resin such as an epoxy resin or an acryl resin, or a silicone resin, and may act as a matrix for dispersing the phosphor therein. 
     The phosphor can convert light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  into light having different wavelengths therefrom through excitation of the light. The phosphor may include various phosphors known to a person having ordinary knowledge in the art, and may include at least one among, for example, garnet phosphors, aluminate phosphors, sulfide phosphors, oxynitride phosphors, nitride phosphors, fluoride phosphors, and silicate phosphors. However, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     The wavelength conversion unit  121  may be formed by depositing a mixture of the phosphor and the resin so as to cover side surfaces and upper surfaces of the light emitting chips  110  by printing, dispensing, spraying or the like, followed by curing. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and the wavelength conversion unit  121  may be formed by various methods without departing from the scope of the present invention. 
     On the other hand, characteristics of the light converted by the wavelength conversion unit  121  can be freely regulated by adjusting the phosphor included in the wavelength conversion unit  121 , the thickness of the wavelength conversion unit  121 , the resin in the wavelength conversion unit  121 , and the like. 
     The reflective unit  130  may cover the side surface of the light emitting chip  110  and may further cover the wavelength conversion unit  121  formed on the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . Thus, the wavelength conversion unit  121  covering the side surface of the light emitting chip  110  may be interposed between the light emitting chip  110  and the reflective unit  130 . 
     The reflective unit  130  serves to reflect light. With the structure wherein the reflective unit  130  is formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the light emitting device package  1 , the light emitting device package allows light emitted through the light emitting chip  110  and the phosphor to be collected above the unit light emitting device  10 . However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto, and a directional angle of the light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  can be regulated by adjusting reflectivity and light transmittance of the reflective unit  130 , as needed. 
     The reflective unit  130  may include a resin and may further include fillers capable of reflecting or scattering light. 
     The resin may be a transparent or translucent resin, and may include a silicone resin, or a polymer resin such as an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a urethane resin, and the like. In this exemplary embodiment, the resin may be a silicone resin. 
     The fillers may be uniformly dispersed in the resin. The fillers may be selected from any materials capable of reflecting or scattering light, and may include, for example, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ), and the like. The reflective unit  130  may include at least one of the above fillers. Reflectivity or a degree of light scattering of the reflective unit  130  can be regulated by adjusting the kind or concentration of fillers. 
     The reflective unit  130  may have a constant thickness. The reflective unit  130  may have different thicknesses depending upon the location of the reflective unit  130  in the light emitting device package. 
     An upper surface of the reflective unit  130  may have the same height as an upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . That is, as shown in the drawings, the upper surface of the reflective unit  130  may be flush with the upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . With this structure, the lens (not shown) can be more stably disposed on the light emitting chip  110 . 
     The reflective unit  130  may be formed in a similar manner as in formation of the wavelength conversion unit  121 , and, after formation of the reflective unit  130 , at least one of the upper surfaces of the reflective unit  130  and the wavelength conversion unit  121  may be subjected to planarization. Planarization may be performed by grinding, cutting, and the like. When the reflective unit  130  is formed by deposition, the reflective unit  130  may be formed on the wavelength conversion unit  121  due to conditions of the manufacturing process. Then, the reflective unit  130  formed on the wavelength conversion unit  121  can be removed by planarization, and thus can be prevented from being disposed on the light emitting chip  110  in the light emitting device package  3 . 
     Further, the wavelength conversion unit  121  may have a side surface subjected to plasma treatment. Accordingly, bonding strength between the wavelength conversion unit  121  and the reflective unit  130  increases, thereby improving stability and reliability of the light emitting device package  3 . 
     The unit light emitting device  10  is formed by combination of the light emitting chip  110 , the wavelength conversion unit  121  and the reflective unit  130  described above. 
     The light blocking unit  140  may cover at least one side surface of the unit light emitting device  10 . That is, the light blocking unit  140  may cover at least one side surface of the reflective unit  130  included in the unit light emitting device  10 . The light blocking unit  140  and the reflective unit  130  may contact each other. With this structure, the light blocking unit  140  may be disposed at the outermost periphery of the light emitting device  10 . 
     The light blocking unit  140  may serve to absorb light. With the structure wherein the light blocking unit  140  is formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the light emitting device  10 , the light emitting device package can prevent light leakage from the reflective unit  130  to the side surface of the light emitting device  10 . Specifically, when light emitted from the light emitting chip  110  leaks to the side surface of the light emitting device  10  through the reflective unit  130 , the light blocking unit  140  can block or absorb the light leaked through the side surface of the unit light emitting device  10 . 
     The light blocking unit  140  may be formed of a material having high absorptivity of light. The light blocking unit  140  may be formed of a material having higher absorptivity of light than the reflective unit  130 . For example, the light blocking unit  140  may be formed of a black material having high absorptivity of light. As the material for the light blocking unit  140 , any material may be used so long as the material has high absorptivity of light and, for example, the light blocking unit  140  may include a light absorption material, such as carbon black, a black resin, and a black paint. 
     The light blocking unit  140  may have a constant thickness. The light blocking unit  140  may have different thicknesses depending upon the location of the light blocking unit  140  in the light emitting device package. The thickness of the light blocking unit  140  is not particularly limited and may be suitably adjusted depending upon intensity of light emitted through the side surface of the unit light emitting device  10 . Accordingly, the thickness of the light blocking unit  140  may increase with increasing intensity of light emitted through the side surface of the reflective unit  130 . It should be understood that the thickness of the light blocking unit  140  may differ depending upon the material thereof. 
     An upper surface of the light blocking unit  140  may have the same height as the upper surface of the reflective unit  130 , or may have a higher height than the upper surface of the reflective unit  130 . The height of the light blocking unit  140  is not limited thereto and may be suitably adjusted by taking into account the intensity of light emitted through the side surface of the reflective unit  130 . 
     According to materials in the light blocking unit, the light blocking unit  140  may be formed in a similar manner as in formation of the reflective unit  130  and the wavelength conversion unit  121 , or may be formed by other methods such as deposition and film coating. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and the light blocking unit  140  may be formed by various methods without departing from the scope of the present invention. The upper surface of the light blocking unit  140  may also be subjected to the above-described planarization. 
       FIG. 4  is a sectional view of a light emitting device package according to yet another exemplary embodiment. 
     A light emitting device package  4  shown in  FIG. 4  is generally similar to the light emitting device package  3  described with reference to  FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b    except that a lens  150  is disposed on the light emitting chip  110 . In the following descriptions, the different features of the light emitting device package shown in  FIG. 4  will be mainly discussed. 
     A lower surface of the lens  150  may be larger than an upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121  such that the lens  150  can cover the entirety of the upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121 . With this structure, the light emitting device package allow light subjected to wavelength conversion through the wavelength conversion unit  121  to be more effectively discharged to the outside. 
     The lens  150  may be a silicone resin and may be formed of any material without limitation. In addition, the lens  150  may have a semi-spherical shape, as shown in the drawings, or may have other shapes such as a planar shape and a shape with a concave portion at a center thereof in order to obtain a desired orientation pattern of light. 
     The lens  150  may be formed by molding or by various other methods. 
     The lens  150  may be omitted in order to reduce the overall height of the light emitting device package. 
     As described above, the light emitting device package  4  is formed without including a separate secondary substrate or a separate lead electrode, and thus can be miniaturized. In addition, the side surface of the unit light emitting device  4  is covered by the light blocking unit  140 , thereby preventing light leakage from the light emitting device package  4 . 
       FIG. 5  is a sectional view of a light emitting device package according to yet another exemplary embodiment. 
     A light emitting device package  5  shown in  FIG. 5  is generally similar to the light emitting device package  3  described with reference to  FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b    except that a wavelength conversion unit  123  is not formed on the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . In the following descriptions, the different features of the light emitting device package  5  as shown in  FIG. 5  will be mainly discussed. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , the light emitting device package  5  includes the light emitting chip  110 , the wavelength conversion unit  123 , a reflective unit  130 , and a light blocking unit  140 . 
     The wavelength conversion unit  123  may have a flat bar shape and may cover an upper surface of the light emitting chip  110 . Accordingly, the wavelength conversion unit  123  is not formed on a side surface of the light emitting chip  110 , and the reflective unit  130  may directly cover the side surface of the light emitting chip  110  while further covering a side surface of the wavelength conversion unit  123 . Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 5 , the side surface of the wavelength conversion unit  123  may be coplanar to the side surface of the light emitting chip  110 . 
     In the light emitting device package  5 , the light emitting chip  110 , the reflective unit  130  and the light blocking unit  140  are similar to those of the light emitting device package described with reference to  FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b   , and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. 
       FIG. 6 a    and  FIG. 6 b    are a sectional view and a plan view of a light emitting device package and a light emitting chip according to yet another exemplary embodiment, respectively. 
     Although a light emitting device package  6  shown in  FIG. 6 a    is generally similar to the light emitting device package  1  described with reference to  FIG. 1 , the structure of the light emitting chip  110  according to this exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to  FIG. 6   b.    
     Next, one example of the light emitting chip  110  will be described in more detail with reference to  FIG. 6   b.    
     The light emitting chip  110  includes a substrate  21 , a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23 , mesas M, reflective electrodes  30 , a current spreading layer  33 , a lower insulation layer  31 , an upper insulation layer  35 , a first pad  37   a , and a second pad  37   b.    
     The substrate  21  may be a growth substrate for growth of gallium nitride-based epitaxial layers, and may be, for example, a sapphire substrate, a silicon carbide substrate, a silicon substrate, or a gallium nitride substrate. The substrate  21  may include a first plane and a second plane facing each other. In this exemplary embodiment, the first plane may correspond to a lower surface of the substrate  21 , that is, a surface on which the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  is formed, and the second plane may correspond to an upper surface of the substrate  21 . 
     The first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  is continuously formed and includes a plurality of mesas M formed thereon to be separated from each other. Each of the mesas M includes an active layer  25  and a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer  27  and has an elongated shape extending in one direction. Herein, the mesas M have a stack structure of gallium nitride-based compound semiconductors. As shown in  FIG. 1 , the mesas M may be defined within an upper region of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23 . Alternatively, as shown in  FIG. 6 , the mesas M may extend to an edge of an upper surface of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  in one direction to divide the upper surface of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  into a plurality of regions. With this structure, the light emitting chip can relieve current crowding near corners of the mesas M. thereby further improving current spreading performance. 
     The reflective electrodes  30  are respectively disposed on the plurality of mesas M to form ohmic contact with a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer  27 . The reflective electrodes  30  may include a reflective layer  28  and a barrier layer  29 , which may cover an upper surface and a side surface of the reflective layer  28 . 
     The current spreading layer  33  covers the plurality of mesas M and the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23 . The current spreading layer  33  may have openings  33   a  each placed within an upper region of each of the mesas M and exposing the reflective electrodes  30 . The current spreading layer  33  also forms ohmic contact with the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  and is insulated from the plurality of mesas M. The current spreading layer  33  may include a reflective material such as Al. 
     The current spreading layer  33  may be insulated from the plurality of mesas M by the lower insulation layer  31 . For example, the lower insulation layer  31  may be interposed between the plurality of mesas M and the current spreading layer  33  to insulate the current spreading layer  33  from the plurality of mesas M. Further, the lower insulation layer  31  may have openings  31   b  each placed within the upper region of each of the mesas M and exposing the reflective electrodes  30 , and openings  31   a  exposing the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23 . The current spreading layer  33  may be connected to the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  through the openings  31   a . The openings  31   b  of the lower insulation layer  31  have narrower areas than the openings  33   a  of the current spreading layer  33  and are completely exposed through the openings  33   a.    
     The upper insulation layer  35  covers at least a portion of the current spreading layer  33 . Further, the upper insulation layer  35  may have openings  35   b  exposing the reflective electrodes  30 . Furthermore, the upper insulation layer  35  may have openings  35   a  exposing the current spreading layer  33 . The upper insulation layer  35  may cover sidewalls of the openings  33   a  of the current spreading layer  33 . 
     The first pad  37   a  may be disposed on the current spreading layer  33  and may be connected to the current spreading layer  33  through, for example, the openings  35   a  of the upper insulation layer  35 . Further, the second pad  37   b  is connected to the reflective electrodes  30  exposed through the openings  35   b . Although the first pad  37   a  is shown as having the same size as the second pad  37   b  in  FIG. 6 b   , it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and the first and second pads  37   a  and  37   b  may have different sizes. For example, the first pad  37   a  may be larger than the second pad  37   b.    
     According to the present invention, the current spreading layer  33  covers the mesas M and substantially the entire region of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer  23  between the mesas M. With this structure, the light emitting chip can achieve efficient current spreading through the current spreading layer  33 . 
     Furthermore, the current spreading layer  23  may include a reflective metal layer such as an Al layer or the lower insulation layer may be formed as an insulation reflective layer such that light not reflected by the reflective electrodes  30  can be reflected by the current spreading layer  23  or the lower insulation layer  31 , thereby improving extraction efficiency. 
     The light emitting device package  6  shown in  FIG. 6 a    is generally similar to the light emitting device package  1  described with reference to  FIG. 1 . However, in the light emitting device package  6  shown in  FIG. 6 a   , the wavelength conversion unit  121  may extend to side surfaces of the first and second pads  37   a  and  37   b , and thus the reflective unit  130  may also be formed on outer side surfaces of the first and second pads  37   a  and  37   b.    
     Each of the light emitting device packages  10 ,  20  and  30  described with reference to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 6 b    does not include a separate secondary substrate or a separate lead electrode, and includes the light emitting chip  110 , the wavelength conversion unit  121  and the reflective unit  130  formed integrally with each other, thereby achieving miniaturization. 
       FIG. 7  shows plan views of light emitting device packages according to yet another exemplary embodiment. 
     Each of light emitting device packages  7   a  and  7   b  shown in  FIG. 7  is generally similar to the light emitting device package shown in  FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b    except that each of the light emitting device packages  7   a ,  7   b  includes a plurality of unit light emitting devices  10 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 7( a ) , the light emitting device package  7   a  includes six unit light emitting devices  10 , in which one side surface of each of the unit light emitting devices  10  adjoins the other side surface of another unit light emitting device. Specifically, reflective units  130  of the unit light emitting devices  10  may adjoin each other, or one reflective unit  130  may be shared by adjacent unit light emitting devices  10 . 
     The unit light emitting devices  10  may emit the same color or different colors. The unit light emitting devices  10  may be turned on or off simultaneously or independently. 
     Referring to  FIG. 7( b ) , the light emitting device package  7   b  includes six unit light emitting devices  10  and a light blocking unit  140  disposed between the unit light emitting devices  10 . Alternatively, the same structure as that of the light emitting device package  7   b  may be formed by continuously connecting six light emitting device packages  3  as shown in  FIG. 3 a    and  FIG. 3 b   . The light blocking unit  140  is disposed between the unit light emitting devices  10 , thereby minimizing color change due to light leakage of adjacent unit light emitting devices  10 . 
     The light emitting device packages  7   a  and  7   b  according to this exemplary embodiment may be applied to vehicle lamps. Specifically, for example, the light emitting device package  7   b  as shown in  FIG. 7( b )  may be used as a taillight of a vehicle. In this case, the light emitting device package  7   b  may include white color-based unit light emitting devices  10  and amber-based unit light emitting devices  10  that are alternately arranged. Unlike the light emitting device package  7   a  as shown in  FIG. 7( a ) , since the light blocking unit  140  is disposed between the unit light emitting devices  10  in the light emitting device package  7   b  as shown in  FIG. 7( b ) , it is possible to prevent mixing of a white color and a yellow color in the reflective unit  130  when the white color-based and amber-based unit light emitting devices  10  are simultaneously turned on or off. 
     Although each of the light emitting device packages  7   a  and  7   b  according to the exemplary embodiment includes six unit light emitting devices  10 , it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto. Arrangement of the light emitting device packages  7   a  and  7   b , or the number or arrangement of unit light emitting devices  10  may be suitably adjusted depending upon user purpose as needed. 
       FIG. 8  shows plan views of a light emitting device package according to yet another exemplary embodiment. 
     Each of light emitting device packages  8   a  and  8   b  shown in  FIG. 8  is generally similar to the light emitting device package shown in  FIG. 7  except that each of the light emitting device packages  8   a  and  8   b  includes a plurality of unit light emitting devices  10  arranged in two lines. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8( a ) , the light emitting device package  8   a  includes six unit light emitting devices  10  arranged in two lines. Specifically, three unit light emitting devices  10  are arranged in an upper row and three unit light emitting devices  10  are arranged in a lower row. At least two side surfaces of the unit light emitting devices  10  may adjoin each other. 
     The light emitting device packages  8   a  and  8   b  according to this exemplary embodiment may be applied to a vehicle lamp. Specifically, for example, the light emitting device package  8   a  as shown in  FIG. 8( a )  may be used as a turn signal lamp of a vehicle. In this case, the light emitting device package may include white color-based unit light emitting devices  10  and amber-based unit light emitting devices  10  that are disposed so as not to contact each other. That is, when a white color-based unit light emitting device  10  is disposed at the leftmost side of the upper row, the amber-based unit light emitting device  10  may be arranged at the right side of and under the white color-based unit light emitting device  10 . 
     The white color-based unit light emitting devices  10  and the amber-based unit light emitting devices  10  are alternately turned on or off so as to be used as the turn signal lamp for vehicles. In this case, only the same color-based unit light emitting devices  10  are simultaneously turned on or off, thereby preventing a problem of color mixing in the reflective unit  130 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 8( b ) , the light emitting device package  8   b  includes a light blocking unit  140  disposed between unit light emitting devices  10  arranged in two lines. Alternatively, the same structure as that of the light emitting device package  8   b  may be formed by arranging six unit light emitting devices  10  in two lines. With the structure wherein the light blocking unit  140  is disposed between the unit light emitting devices  10 , the light emitting device package can minimize color change due to light leakage of the unit light emitting devices  10 . 
     The light emitting device packages  8   a  and  8   b  according to this exemplary embodiment can prevent occurrence of light leakage and thus can emit light providing a clear cutoff line to an illumination target. Although the vehicle lamp is illustrated by way of example in description of the above exemplary embodiments, the light emitting device packages  8   a  and  8   b  according to this exemplary embodiment are not limited thereto and may be used for various purposes as needed. 
       FIG. 9  is a sectional view and a plan view of a backlight unit including a light emitting device package according to exemplary embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , the backlight unit includes a unit light emitting device  10 , a printed circuit board  210 , support legs  220 , and a lens  230 . The unit light emitting device  10  may be disposed in a central region of the lens  230 , which is supported by the support legs  220  to be separated from the printed circuit board  210 . 
     A light blocking unit may be disposed on a side surface of the unit light emitting device  10  and interposed between a bottom of the lens  230  and the printed circuit board to prevent light emitted from the unit light emitting device  10  from leaking to a region other than the lens. With this structure, it is possible irradiate light as much as possible to a light incident portion of the lens  230 , thereby improving contrast ratio and viewing angle of a display. 
     Although  FIG. 9  shows a direct type backlight unit, the light emitting device package according to exemplary embodiments is not limited thereto and can also be applied to an edge type backlight unit. 
       FIG. 10  to  FIG. 15  are plan views and a sectional view illustrating a method for manufacturing a light emitting device package according to one exemplary embodiment.  FIG. 10  to  FIG. 15  show at least a portion of a plurality of light emitting chips  110 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 10 , a wafer  100  is prepared. 
     The wafer  100  may include a plurality of semiconductor stack structures, which may correspond to light emitting chip regions  110   a . A region between the light emitting chip regions  110   a  is defined as a first isolation region S 1 . 
     Each of the plural light emitting chip regions  110   a  may be divided into an individual light emitting chip by subsequent processes, and each of the individual light emitting chips includes electrode patterns disposed on a lower surface thereof. For example, one of the light emitting chip regions  110   a  may take the form shown in  FIG. 6   b.    
     Next, referring to  FIG. 11 , the wafer  100  is divided into a plurality of individual light emitting chips  110  along the first isolation region S 1 , and the light emitting chips  110  are arranged on a first support substrate  200  to be separated from each other. Here, the light emitting chips  110  are preferably arranged such that the electrode patterns of the light emitting chips  111  face downwards. The light emitting chips  110  may be arranged substantially at the same intervals on the first support substrate  200 . Accordingly, a wavelength conversion unit  121  configured to cover upper surfaces and side surfaces of the light emitting chips  110  may be formed to have substantially the same thickness at a side surface thereof with respect to all of the light emitting chips  110  by a subsequent process. As such, the light emitting chips  110  arranged on the first support substrate  200  may be obtained from the same wafer  100 . 
     Next, referring to  FIG. 12 a   , the wavelength conversion unit  121  is formed to cover an upper surface and a side surface of each of the light emitting chips  110 . Here, a region between the light emitting chips  110  is defined as a second isolation region S 2 .  FIG. 12 b    is a sectional view taken along line A-A′ of  FIG. 12 a   , and the wavelength conversion unit  121  is provided to the upper surfaces of the light emitting chips  110  and to a region between the light emitting chips  110  in a shape as shown in  FIG. 12   b.    
     As described above, the wavelength conversion unit  121  may include a resin and a phosphor, and may be formed by depositing a mixture of the phosphor and the resin onto the first support substrate  200 , followed by curing. For example, the mixture of the phosphor and the resin may be deposited onto the first support substrate  200  so as to cover side surfaces and upper surfaces of the light emitting chips  110  by printing, dispensing, spraying, or the like. Then, the mixture is cured by heat curing or the like, thereby forming the wavelength conversion unit  121 . However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and the wavelength conversion unit  121  may be formed by various methods without departing from the scope of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 13 , the wavelength conversion unit  121  is divided into a plurality of individual light emitting device units  110   b  each including the light emitting chip  110  and the wavelength conversion unit  121  along the second isolation region S 2 , and the individual light emitting device units  110   b  are disposed on a second support substrate  300  to be separated from each other. Division of the wavelength conversion unit  121  may be performed using a metal blade or a laser. 
     The individual light emitting device units  110   b  may be arranged substantially at the same intervals on the second support substrate  300 . Accordingly, a reflective unit  130  configured to cover the side surfaces of the light emitting chips  110  may be formed to have substantially the same thickness at a side surface thereof with respect to all of the light emitting chips  110  by a subsequent process. 
     The first support substrate  200  and the second support substrate  300  are provided as temporary substrates used in the manufacturing process, and thus are not limited to a particular kind of substrate. For example, the first support substrate  200  and the second support substrate  300  may be glass substrates. 
     The method according to this embodiment may further include performing plasma treatment with respect to side surfaces of the individual light emitting device units  110   b . By plasma treatment, a functional group may be provided to the side surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121  of each of the individual light emitting device units  110   b , thereby improving bonding strength and adhesion between the wavelength conversion unit  121  and the reflective unit  130 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 14 , a reflective unit  130  is formed to fill a region between the individual light emitting device units  110   b  on the second support substrate  300 . Accordingly, the reflective unit  130  covers the side surfaces of the individual light emitting device units  110   b , that is, the side surfaces of the light emitting chips  110 . 
     The reflective unit  130  may be formed in a similar manner as in formation of the wavelength conversion unit  121 , and may include a resin and/or fillers, as described above. 
     The manufacturing method according to this exemplary embodiment may further include performing planarization with respect to at least one of an upper surface of the reflective unit  130  and an upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121  after formation of the reflective unit  130 . Planarization may be performed by grinding, cutting, or the like. When the reflective unit  130  is formed by deposition, the reflective unit  130  can be formed on the wavelength conversion unit  121  due to conditions of the manufacturing process. Since the reflective unit  130  formed on the wavelength conversion unit  121  can be removed by planarization, it is possible to prevent the reflective unit  130  from residing on the light emitting chip  110  in a final light emitting device package  1 . Furthermore, the upper surface of the wavelength conversion unit  121  can become flush with the upper surface of the reflective unit  130  through planarization, whereby a subsequent process for forming a lens  150  can be more stably performed. 
     Then, referring to  FIGS. 15( a ) and ( b ) , the lens  150  is formed on each of the individual light emitting device units  110   b  and the reflective unit  130  is divided into individual light emitting device units  110   c  along a third isolation region S 3  between the individual light emitting device units  110   b.    
     The lens  150  may be formed by molding, may be disposed on each of the individual light emitting device units  110   b  after being separately manufactured, or may be formed by various other methods. 
     As shown in the drawings, the lens  150  may have a semi-spherical shape as shown in the drawings, or may have other shapes such as a planar shape and a shape with a concave portion at a center thereof in order to obtain a desired orientation pattern of light. Further, a lower surface of the lens  150  may be larger than the size of the individual light emitting device unit  110   b , and the lens  150  may be formed to cover the entirety of an upper surface of the individual light emitting device unit  110   b . In some exemplary embodiments, the lens  150  may be omitted. 
     The individual light emitting device units  110   c  are separated from each other, thereby providing the light emitting device packages  1  as shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     A method for manufacturing a light emitting device package according to another exemplary embodiment may further include forming a light blocking unit  140  covering at least one side surface of each of the individual unit light emitting devices before forming the lens  150 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 16( a ) , the individual light emitting device units having the reflective unit  130  formed thereon are disposed on a separate support substrate to be separated from each other, and then a light blocking unit  140  is formed to fill a space between the individual light emitting device units. Here, it is possible to determine the thickness of the side surface of the light blocking unit  140  in the light emitting device package by adjusting the distance between the individual light emitting device units. 
     The light blocking unit  140  may be formed of a material having high absorptivity of light. The light blocking unit  140  may be formed of a material having higher absorptivity of light than the reflective unit  130 . For example, the light blocking unit  140  may be formed of a black material having high absorptivity of light. As the material for the light blocking unit  140 , any material may be used so long as the material has high absorptivity of light and, for example, the light blocking unit  140  may include a light absorption material, such as carbon black, a black resin, and a black paint. 
     The light blocking unit  140  may be formed by various methods such as coating and curing, deposition and curing, and the like. In addition, an upper surface of the light blocking unit  140  may be formed to have the same height as the upper surface of the reflective unit  130 , and, for example, the upper surface of the light blocking unit  140  may become flush with the upper surface of the reflective unit  130  by planarization. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto, and the upper surface of the light blocking unit  140  is not necessarily be formed to be flush with the upper surface of the reflective unit  130 . 
     Next, referring to  FIG. 16( b ) , the light blocking unit  140  is divided along a fourth isolation region S 4  between the individual light emitting units, thereby providing light emitting device packages  5  as shown in  FIG. 5 . 
     Further, when the lens  150  is further formed on each of the individual light emitting device units before division of the light blocking unit  140 , light emitting device packages  6  as shown in  FIG. 4  can also be provided. 
       FIG. 17  to  FIG. 21  are plan views and a sectional view illustrating a method for manufacturing a light emitting device package according to a further exemplary embodiment.  FIG. 17  to  FIG. 21  show at least a portion of a plurality of light emitting chips  110 . 
     The method according to this exemplary embodiment is generally similar to the method described with reference to  FIG. 10  to  FIG. 15  except that, in this method, a wavelength conversion unit  123  is formed on a wafer  100  before division of the wafer  100 . The following description will be mainly given of different features of the method according to this exemplary embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG. 17 , a wafer  100  as shown in  FIG. 10  is prepared. Here, each of light emitting chip regions  110   a  may have electrode patterns disposed on a lower surface of the wafer  100 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 18 , a wavelength conversion unit  123  is formed to cover an upper surface of the wafer  100 . That is, in the above exemplary embodiment shown in  FIG. 10  to  FIG. 15 , the wavelength conversion unit  121  is formed after division of the wafer  100  along the first isolation region S 1 , whereas the wavelength conversion unit  123  is formed before division of the wafer  100  in this exemplary embodiment. The wavelength conversion unit  123  may be formed in a similar manner as in the method described in the above exemplary embodiments. 
     Next, referring to  FIG. 19 a   , the wafer  100  is divided into a plurality of individual light emitting device units  110   d  along a first isolation region S 1 , and the light emitting device units  110   d  are arranged on a first support substrate  200  to be separated from each other. The individual light emitting device units  110   d  may be light emitting chips  110  having a wavelength conversion unit  123  formed thereon.  FIG. 19 b    is a sectional view taken along line B-B′ of  FIG. 19   a.    
     Since the wavelength conversion unit  123  is divided and separated together with the wafer  100 , a side surface of each light emitting chip  110  may be coplanar to the side surface of the wavelength conversion unit  123  in the individual light emitting device unit  110   d . Further, the wavelength conversion unit  123  may have a flat bar shape. 
     Then, referring to  FIG. 20  and  FIG. 21 , a reflective unit  130  is formed to fill a space between the individual light emitting device units  110   d , and a lens  150  is formed on each of the light emitting chips  110 , followed by dividing the reflective unit  130  along a fourth isolation region S 4  to provide individual light emitting device units  110   e . As a result, a plurality of light emitting device packages  2  as shown in  FIG. 2  is provided. 
     The processes of forming the reflective unit  130  and the lens  150  and the process of dividing the reflective unit  130  are substantially similar to the processes described with reference to  FIG. 10  to  FIG. 15 , and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. 
     According to this exemplary embodiment, a plurality of miniaturized light emitting device packages can be provided by forming the wavelength conversion unit  121  or  123  and the reflective unit  130  with respect to a plurality of light emitting chips at a wafer level, followed by dividing. Accordingly, a separate packaging process can be omitted and a plurality of light emitting chips is packaged by a single packaging process, thereby enabling simplification of the process of manufacturing a light emitting device package. Furthermore, since a separate substrate for formation of the lens can be omitted by directly forming the lens on the reflective unit  130 , it is possible to manufacture a miniaturized light emitting device package through the manufacturing method as described above. 
     It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments and features described above and that various modification, variations, and alterations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
