Patent ID: 8546838

Claim:
A light emitting device package, comprising: a substrate comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a through hole; a first electrode on the first surface, wherein the first electrode has a pair of portions; a light emitting device on the first surface, wherein the light emitting device is arranged on the pair of portions, wherein the first electrode is electrically connected to the light emitting device; a second electrode on the second surface, the second electrode electrically connected to the first electrode; a zener diode on the first surface, the zener diode electrically connected to the first electrode, wherein the zener diode is laterally arranged with respect to the light emitting device, and wherein a portion of the zener diode is configured to provide a reflective surface, and wherein the light emitting device and the zener diode are arranged on a same side of the first electrode; and an encapsulation on the light emitting device, wherein a shortest distance between a flat surface of the light emitting device that is in contact with the first electrode and the first surface and a shortest distance between a flat surface of the zener diode that is in contact with the first electrode and the first surface are substantially the same.
