A vehicle lighting apparatus includes: a light source; a reflector that reflects light emitted from the light source toward a vehicle travel direction; a light distribution control unit that controls light distribution of light reflected by the reflector; and a projection lens that projects the light of which the light distribution is controlled by the light distribution control unit toward the vehicle travel direction, wherein the light distribution control unit has a structure in which a plurality of reflection elements are provided to be aligned in a vehicle width direction, and wherein light that is incident on the projection lens from an upper direction of the plurality of reflection elements of the light reflected by the reflector forms a light distribution pattern that includes a cutoff line which is defined by an upper end of the plurality of reflection elements, and light that is incident on the plurality of reflection elements is reflected toward the projection lens to thereby form a complementary light distribution pattern that is different from the light distribution pattern.

A lighting structure of a vehicular headlamp module includes a reflector, and a base is located under the reflector and has a lighting element. A shade is integrated at the base, and its central region has a shape of arc and protrudes toward the base. A top of a first reflection body has a reflective inclined plane, which is located at the front end of the base and in back of the shade, A second reflection body has a light-blocking inclined plane, which is located at the front end of the base and in front of the shade and located at the other side of the prominent point. A projection lens set is connected with the base. The light emitted from the lighting element is transmitted through, reflected to and refracted by the projection lens set to form a clear light-distributed pattern that prevents from glare.

A vehicular lamp unit has a substrate, a light source having a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element disposed on the substrate, and an optical element having the light source attached thereto. The substrate is long in a first direction. The optical element radiates emitted light of the first and second light-emitting elements toward a front of the vehicular lamp unit, with a desired light distribution. A reference portion serving as a positioning reference for the optical element is provided in a part of the substrate. The first and second light-emitting elements are arranged in the first direction. The first light-emitting element illuminates an area having high light intensity of the light distribution. The second light-emitting element illuminates an area having low light intensity of the light distribution. The first light-emitting element is mounted at a position closer to the reference portion in the first direction than the second light-emitting element.

A projection headlight for a vehicle is provided comprising at least one light source, a projection lens, a condenser lens arranged between the at least one light source and the projection lens, and at least one printed graphic arranged between the condenser lens and the projection lens. The condenser lens has a flat side and a curved side. The at least one printed graphic is printed on the flat side of the condenser lens. Further, a vehicle is provided having at least one such projection headlight.

Low beam headlight that can be obtained with small installation length and high light/energy output are described. A light source arrangement is provided, which generates a light cone of light that is less divergent in a first transverse direction than in a second transverse direction perpendicular to the first transverse direction, and this light source arrangement is used to illuminate three lens arrays arranged next to one another along the second transverse direction, which are thus each irradiated on the input side by an associated one among segments of the light cone arranged next to one another in the second transverse direction and output low beam on the output side with a luminous intensity angle distribution modified with respect to the light cone.

A vehicle lamp forms an additional high-beam light distribution pattern with light emitted though a projection lens from a plurality of light emitting elements. The plurality of light emitting elements are disposed to be aligned in a transverse direction below a rear focal point of the projection lens and can be lit individually. The vehicle lamp forms an additional light distribution pattern by lighting the plurality of light emitting elements at the same time to form a high-beam light distribution pattern. In addition, the vehicle lamp forms another additional light distribution pattern where a part of the additional light distribution pattern is omitted by selectively lighting a part of the plurality of light emitting elements so as to form an intermediate light distribution pattern.

Provided is a lamp for a vehicle capable of achieving uniform brightness while improving sharpness of a light irradiation pattern. The vehicle lamp includes a light source system; and an optical system configured to allow light emitted from the light source system to be incident to the optical system through a plurality of incident lenses and to exit through a plurality of exit lenses corresponding to the plurality of incident lenses. The plurality of exit lenses include a first exit lens configured to output light therefrom in a first direction, and a second exit lens configured to output light therefrom in a second direction that is tilted by a predetermined angle with respect to the first direction.

The present disclosure provides an automobile lamp lighting system, including a light source, a reflecting mirror, a light-shielding plate, and a lens. The lens includes a reflecting surface and a refracting surface opposite to the reflecting surface. When an external parallel light is incident into the lens, the external parallel light sequentially passes through the refracting surface for a first refraction, is reflected by the reflecting surface, passes through the refracting surface for a second refraction, exits the lens, and is converged to form a focal point. The reflecting mirror includes a near focal point and a far focal point, the light source is arranged at the near focal point, and the far focal point is located near the focal point of the lens. The light-shielding plate includes a light-shielding plate cut-off line located at the focal point of the lens.
