An illumination device for a vehicle includes: a light source configured to emit a first light forward; and a transmission type surface emitting device that is disposed in front of the light source, that is configured to transmit the first light and that is configured to emit a second light forward.

Provided is a lighting apparatus for an automobile which improves luminous efficiency. To this end, the lighting apparatus for an automobile according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a light source which produces light; a reflector which reflects the light produced by the light source; and a light guide which is illuminated with the light produced by the light source while the light passes through an interior of the light guide.

According to one embodiment, a lighting device for vehicle includes a socket; a light emitting unit which is provided at one end portion of the socket, and includes a light emitting element; an insulating portion which includes a resin, and is provided inside a hole provided in the socket; a power feeding terminal which has conductivity, extends inside the insulating portion, and of which one end portion protrudes from the insulating portion, and is electrically connected to the light emitting unit; and a melting portion which is connected to an inner wall face of the hole, and at least one end face of the insulating portion.

An illuminating vehicle assembly includes a plastic grille component and a badge mounted to the plastic grille component. The badge houses at least one light source. The light source may be illuminated to create various lighting effects. Any heat generated by the at least one light source can be dissipated into the plastic grille component.

The lighting device disclosed at an embodiment of the invention comprises: a reflective member; a resin layer disposed on the reflective member; a light emitting device disposed to correspond to one side surface of the resin layer; and a light wavelength conversion layer disposed on one surface of the resin layer. The light wavelength conversion layer includes a main phosphor pattern disposed in a long axis direction of the resin layer, the main phosphor pattern includes a first unit-phosphor pattern disposed in a first region and a second unit-phosphor pattern disposed in a second region, the first region may be located closer to the light emitting device than the second region, and a width of the first unit-phosphor pattern may be less than a width of the second unit-phosphor pattern.

A lighting device for a vehicle includes a center body unit, a driving lens unit disposed on first and second sides of the center body unit and configured to provide driving lighting, a grill lens unit disposed between the center body unit and the driving lens unit and configured to provide grill lighting, and a light source unit configured to selectively emit light to the driving lens unit and the grill lens unit.

An illuminating vehicle assembly includes a plastic grille component and a badge mounted to the plastic grille component. The badge houses at least one light source. The light source may be illuminated to create various lighting effects. Any heat generated by the at least one light source can be dissipated into the plastic grille component.

Provided is a lamp unit including a reflector that reflects and controls light emitted from first and second light emitting elements. The reflector includes first and second reflective surfaces. In addition, the light emitted from the first light emitting element in a headlamp lighting mode (a first lighting mode) is incident on the first reflective surface and not on the second reflective surface, and the light emitted from the second light emitting element in a daytime running lamp lighting mode (a second lighting mode) is incident on the first and second reflective surfaces.

An LED lamp includes a metal lead frame strip (14) on which is directly mounted bare LED dies (12), such as in series. Therefore, there is excellent thermal conductivity to the lead frame (14). Lenses (24) are then molded over the LED dies (12) to encapsulate them. The lead frame (14) is then inserted into a mold for a thermally conductive plastic body (38) and is bent in an arc while in the mold so that the top surfaces of the LED dies (12) are not parallel to each other. The plastic body is molded, and the structure is removed from the mold. The curved lead frame causes the overall light emission to be very wide, such a greater than 270 degrees. In another embodiment, the lead frame strip is supported over a curved outer surface of a pre-molded plastic support. Ends of the lead frame strip are inserted into electrical connectors of the plastic support.

An illuminating vehicle assembly includes a plastic grille component and a badge mounted to the plastic grille component. The badge houses at least one light source. The light source may be illuminated to create various lighting effects. Any heat generated by the at least one light source can be dissipated into the plastic grille component.
