Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/219038
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a vehicle lamp configured so as to control the transmission of light output from a plurality of light-emitting elements by a translucent member, wherein the appearance of the translucent member is improved even if the positional relationship between the plurality of light-emitting elements and the translucent member is slightly deviated. A translucent member (30) is configured by a plurality of transmission control units (40) being aligned in the left-right direction, and a center area (40A) of each of the transmission control units (40) is configured as a lens unit (42). In addition, the output light from the light-emitting element (20) is refracted in two stages at a rear surface (42b) and a front surface (42a) of the lens unit (42), and directed forward of the lamp. In this case, a plurality of lens elements (42s1, 42s2, 42s3) having a substantially rectangular outer shape are formed on the front surface (42a) of the lens unit (42). Thus, when the translucent member (30) is observed from the front of the lamp with the plurality of light-emitting elements (20) turned on, the center area (40A) appears bright and luminous in a nearly rectangular division in each of the plurality of transmission control units (40).
