Patent ID: 8487336

Claim:
A light emitting device package comprising: a substrate comprising a first cavity having a first depth and a lateral surface inclined with respect to a bottom surface and a second cavity having a second depth recessed from the bottom surface of the first cavity and a lateral surface perpendicular to the bottom surface of the first cavity; a first electrode layer on the first cavity and the second cavity of the substrate; a second electrode layer on the first cavity of the substrate; and a light emitting diode within the second cavity, the light emitting diode being electrically connected to the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, wherein the light emitting diode includes a light emitting layer, an electrode layer on a top surface of the light emitting layer and a support layer under a bottom surface of the light emitting layer, and wherein the light emitting layer includes a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer adjacent to the first conductive semiconductor layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer, wherein the support layer is foamed of a metal layer having a top surface that is higher than the bottom surface of the first cavity, and wherein the support layer has a thickness that is greater than the second depth of the second cavity, and the thickness of the support layer is greater than a thickness of the light emitting layer, wherein the second electrode layer is disposed between the support layer and a top surface of the substrate, wherein the support layer is disposed between the second electrode layer and the light emitting layer, wherein a lateral surface of the support layer includes an upper lateral surface and a lower lateral surface, the upper lateral surface of the support layer corresponds to the inclined lateral surface of the first cavity, and the lower lateral surface of the support layer corresponds to the perpendicular lateral surface of the second cavity.
