LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND MOVING OBJECT
A light emitting device includes a light source for emitting light. A light guide includes an entrance surface that receives the light emitted from the light source. The light guide is configured to guide the received light along a length thereof in a direction away from the light source and to allow a part of the guided light to emerge outside of the light guide. A facing member includes a facing surface that extends along the length of the light guide and faces the light guide. The facing member is configured to be illuminated by the part of the light emerging outside of the light guide. At least one part of the facing member is configured to increase in luminance of the facing surface in accordance with an increase in a distance from the light source along the length of the light guide.

Lamp for vehicle
A lamp for a vehicle using micromirrors includes a variable beam forming part that irradiates light and forms variable beam patterns. In particular, the variable beam forming part includes a first optical part that irradiates the light; a reflection part including a plurality of micromirrors and configured to reflect the light of the first optical part; a second optical part that transmits the light reflected by the reflection part; and a housing that supports the first optical part, the second optical part, and the reflection part. The plurality of micromirrors are configured to adjust their postures between a first posture in which the light incident from the first optical part is reflected in a first direction and a second posture in which the light incident from the first optical part is reflected in a second direction.

LASER CAR LAMP AND NIGHT VISION SYSTEM USING THE SAME
A laser car lamp includes a light guide element, a phosphor element, a first laser diode, a second laser diode, a lens, and a reflector. The light guide element has first and second surfaces opposite to each other. The phosphor element and the lens are disposed at two opposite ends of the light guide element. The reflector is configured to reflect the first laser beam generated by the first laser diode and reflect the second laser beam generated by the second laser diode to the first surface. The first laser beam is scattered by the phosphor element to form a first scattered light, the second laser beam is excited and scattered by the phosphor element to form a second scattered light. The mixed light beam including the first scattered light beam and the second scattered light beam is emitted from the first surface toward the lens.
