1. A lamp for a vehicle, the lamp comprising:
a first LED group comprising a plurality of LEDs spaced apart from one another and aligned in a first direction, wherein each LED of the first LED group is individually controlled from each other only along the first direction;
a second LED group spaced apart from, aligned, and adjacent to the first LED group in a second direction intersecting the first direction and comprising a second plurality of LEDs spaced apart from one another in the first direction, wherein each LED of the second plurality of LEDs is spaced a first distance along the second direction from a respective LED of the first plurality of LEDs, wherein each LED of the second LED group is individually controlled from each other only along the second direction;
a matrix integrated circuit (IC) unit spaced apart from the first LED group in the second direction and comprising a plurality of field effect transistor (FET) elements;
a first circuit configured to connect, in series, the first and second plurality of LEDs in the first and second LED groups, wherein an order of connection alternates between the first plurality of LEDs and the second plurality of LEDs; and
second circuits branching off from the first circuit and connected to the FET elements,
wherein the first circuit comprises:
a first region configured to connect two LEDs respectively in the first and second LED groups and spaced apart from each other in the second direction; and
a second region configured to connect two LEDs respectively in the first and second LED groups and spaced apart from each other in a direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction.
