An exemplary embodiment discloses a light emitting diode including a first light emitting cell and a second light emitting cell disposed on a substrate, the first light emitting cell and the second light emitting cell being spaced apart from each other. The light emitting diode also includes a first zinc oxide (ZnO) layer disposed on the first light emitting cell, the first ZnO layer being electrically connected to the first light emitting cell. The light emitting diode also includes a current blocking layer disposed between a portion of the first light emitting cell and the first ZnO layer, an interconnection electrically connecting the first light emitting cell and the second light emitting cell, and an insulation layer disposed between the interconnection and a side surface of the first light emitting cell. The current blocking layer and a first side of insulation layer are connected to each other.
