A vehicle lamp is provided with: a semi-conductor-type light source; a second lens having an incident surface in which two convex sections protruding toward the light source side on the outer side in the horizontal direction from the center are connected at the center side to form a portion on the center side which is recessed on the inner side; and a first lens that is disposed between the light source and the second lens and irradiates the second lens with the light from the light source such that a spread of light from the light source is converted to a spread entering the incident surface of the second lens and a diffused light distribution pattern irradiated on the vehicle front side spreads outward in the vehicle horizontal direction.

Provided is a board. The board may include: a plurality of body portions; and a connecting portion disposed between the plurality of body portions to integrally connect the plurality of body portions, wherein a shape of the connecting portion is changed between a flat shape and a protruding shape, when positions of the plurality of body portions are changed by rotating the plurality of body portions based on the connecting portion.

A lighting apparatus configured to be mounted on a vehicle has a housing that defines and forms at least a part of a lamp chamber. and a lamp unit disposed in the lamp chamber. The lamp unit has a light source, a heat sink to which the light source is fixed, a projection lens through which at least a part of light emitted from the light source passes, a first screw that extends through the heat sink and has a first manipulation portion, and a second screw that extends through the heat sink and has a second manipulation portion. A reference position of an optical axis of the projection lens is adjusted in a first direction by manipulating the first manipulation portion. The reference position of the optical axis is adjusted in a second direction intersecting the first direction by manipulating the second manipulation portion.

The present invention is provided with semiconductor light sources, reflectors, and lenses. The semiconductor light sources have a light-emitting surface. The reflectors have reflection surfaces comprising free-form surfaces. The lenses comprise a convex lens and a concave lens. As a result, the present invention is able to accurately control the light distribution of a predetermined light distribution pattern.

Provided is an illumination device which has a coherent light source that emits a first coherent light beam and a second coherent light beam, an optical device that diffuses the first coherent light beam to illuminate a first illumination zone and diffuses a wave of the second coherent light beam to illuminate a second illumination zone, and a timing control unit that individually controls incidence timing of the first coherent light beam and the second coherent light beam on the optical device or illumination timing of the first illumination zone and the second illumination zone, wherein the optical device includes a first diffusion region on which the first coherent light beam is incident, and a second diffusion region on which the second coherent light beam is incident, the first diffusion region is capable of illuminating the first illumination zone by diffusion of the incident first coherent light beam.

A vehicular lighting apparatus which is relatively small, lower in cost, and superior in recognizeability of an object illuminated by a head lamp includes a composite lens element that is a light guide element constructed by molding a translucent resin substantially into a plate-like shape; a planar light-emitting unit that emits light; an optical system that transforms planar light from the light-emitting unit into linear light and that causes the linear transformed light to be incident on a rear side face of the light guide element; and a diffraction lens formed on the rear side face of the light guide element on which the linear transformed light is incident, and condensing the linear transformed light. The light condensed by the lens means is emitted from a front side face of the light guide element onto a road surface in front of the vehicle.

An auxiliary lamp for a vehicle. Ordinary headlamps are restricted by law in the intensity that they direct towards oncoming drivers. This can cause inconveniently low illumination to a side of the vehicle, such as along a line 20 or 25 degrees left of center for a left-hand driver side vehicle. An auxiliary headlamp assembly is added to provide an auxiliary beam that supplements the primary beam. The auxiliary beam increases illumination along this line, yet maintains total illumination toward oncoming drivers below allowed limits.
