Light emitting device and light unit having the same

A light unit comprising:

• a light emitting module comprising a light emitting device and a board on which the light emitting device is arrayed;
• and
• a light guide plate disposed in a path of a light emitted from the light emitting module,
• wherein the light emitting device comprises:
• a body having a recess;
• a barrier section to protrude upward over a bottom surface of the recess and to separate the bottom surface of the recess into a plurality of regions;
• a plurality of light emitting diodes that includes a first diode disposed in a first region of the bottom surface of the recess and a second diode disposed in a second region of the bottom surface of the recess;
• a plurality of lead electrodes spaced apart from each other in the recess and that are selectively connected to the light emitting diodes;
• wires connecting the lead electrodes to the light emitting diodes;
• and
• a resin layer in the recess,
• wherein the barrier section includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion,
• wherein the second portion has a height from the bottom surface of the recess that is lower than a height of the first portion from the bottom surface of the recess, and the height of the second portion is lower than a height of the third portion from the bottom surface of the recess, and
• wherein the wires are disposed on the second portion and are provided between the first portion and the third portion.
