1. A sterilizing device, comprising;
a housing having an outer surface facing a target region and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface;
a cover body coupled to the housing defining a space inside the housing and cover an upper portion of the housing;
an irradiation opening disposed on the housing facing the target region;
a light source disposed on a substrate in the housing and configured to emit light toward the target region through the irradiation opening;
a power supply configured to supply power to the light source;
a controller configured to control a power supply time of the power supply according to a preset period of time; and
a charging terminal electrically connected to the power supply and providing a path through which power is supplied from an external power source to charge the power supply,
wherein the light source includes light emitting elements and the light emitting elements are disposed on the substrate to be spaced apart from one another by a predetermined interval such that a surface of a target in the target region is evenly irradiated with the light emitted by the light emitting elements,
wherein the irradiation opening has a diameter allowing at least 50% of the light emitted from the light source to pass therethrough.
