1. An optical assembly comprising:
a housing including a receiving portion having a first depth and a recess having a region deeper than the first depth;
a lighting module that is received in the receiving portion and emitting light toward the recess;
a transparent cover disposed on the housing and covering the receiving portion and the recess; and
a light blocking member having an opening portion and disposed on the transparent cover,
wherein an outer region of the light blocking member extends to an outer region of the housing,
wherein the opening portion of the light blocking member overlaps the recess in a direction perpendicular to an outer surface of the transparent cover,
wherein the outer surface of the transparent cover faces the light blocking member,
wherein the lighting module includes a substrate, a light emitting device disposed on the substrate, and a resin layer molding the light emitting device,
wherein a light emitted from the light emitting device is emitted through a first side surface of the resin layer, and
wherein the first side surface of the resin layer is an exit surface of the lighting module and faces an upper region of the recess,
wherein the first side surface of the resin layer is substantially parallel to a light emitting surface from which the light is emitted from the light emitting device, and
wherein a second side surface of the resin layer opposite to the first side surface is not substantially parallel to the light emitting surface of the light emitting device.
