LIGHT EMITTING MODULE WITH LIGHT GUIDE PLATE FOR AUTOMOTIVE HEADLIGHT
The present invention provides a light emitting module with a light guide plate for an automotive headlight, which light guide plate includes a front surface for exiting light; a rear surface positioned opposite to the front surface and used as a first light incidence surface for introducing a first light beam; and a side surface positioned at a side of the light guide plate and used as a second light incidence surface for introducing a second light beam. The light guide plate has a number of concave structures at the rear surface thereof for refracting the first light beam downwards towards the ground and for reflecting the second light beam forwards towards the front surface of the light guide plate. The overall output light beam pattern according to the present invention would appear to be uniform.

Vehicle lamp control device and vehicle lamp system
A vehicle lamp control device includes an information acquisition unit that acquires snowfall information, and a controller that controls a vehicle lamp capable of changing a formation position of a light distribution pattern. The controller controls the vehicle lamp so as to lower the formation position from a predetermined reference position when snowfall is perceived, and when the snowfall amount is larger than a predetermined value, the controller substantially lowers the formation position as compared with the formation position when the snowfall amount is smaller than the predetermined value.
