UV light emitting diode package and light emitting diode module having the same

A UV LED package and an LED module including the same. The UV LED package includes an upper semiconductor layer; a mesa disposed under the upper semiconductor layer, having an inclined side surface, and comprising an active layer and a lower semiconductor layer; a first insulation layer covering the mesa and having an opening exposing the upper semiconductor layer; a first contact layer contacting the upper semiconductor layer through the opening of the first insulation layer; a second contact layer formed between the mesa and the first insulation layer and contacting the lower semiconductor layer; a first electrode pad and a second electrode pad disposed under the first contact layer and electrically connected to the first contact layer and second contact layer, respectively; and a second insulation layer located between the first contact layer and the first and second electrode pads, wherein the active layer emits UV light having a wavelength of 405 nm or less. With this structure, the LED package has high efficiency and high heat dissipation characteristics.
