A vehicle lamp includes: a plurality of reflectors including a first reflector; and a plurality of light sources provided in the plurality of reflectors in a mode in which at least one of the plurality of light sources is provided in each of the plurality of reflectors, where the plurality of light sources include two or more first light sources provided in the first reflector, a light distribution pattern of light emitted from the plurality of light sources through the plurality of reflectors includes a first pattern in which a width in a vertical direction decreases toward a vehicle outer side, one of the two or more first light sources is disposed at a focal point of the first reflector, and the other of the two or more first light sources is disposed on a vehicle inner side with respect to the focal point of the first reflector.

The invention relates to a light distribution control method and a light distribution control device in which plural illumination regions are arranged in the left-right direction and illuminated by a headlamp in an ADB light distribution pattern, and vehicle positions of a vehicle ahead are detected and selected ones of the plural illumination regions are reduced in light quantity according to the detected vehicle positions. In this method and device, corrected vehicle positions are set that are obtained by adding margins to the detected vehicle positions in the left and right directions, respectively, and compared with the plural illumination regions. Illumination regions where the vehicle ahead exists are reduced in light quantity.

Provided is a lamp mounted on a vehicle where a lamp housing of the lamp is equipped with a lamp camera that captures an image of an object existing outside the vehicle and a lamp unit of which light distribution of emitted light beams is controlled to change based on positional information of the object captured by the lamp camera, in which the lamp camera has an imaging optical axis directed in a predetermined direction with respect to the vehicle, and the lamp unit is configured such that an illumination optical axis is controlled to change in an up-down direction based on the positional information of the object.

A liquid crystal element is obtained having a plurality of alignment domains with a simple configuration. A manufacturing method of the liquid crystal element includes first through fourth processes. In the first process, a first substrate is formed having a first alignment film subjected to uniaxial alignment treatment. In the second process, forms a second substrate is formed having a second alignment film subjected to uniaxial alignment treatment. In the third process, a liquid crystal layer is formed between the first alignment film and the second alignment film using a liquid crystal material including a monomer which can be polymerized by light irradiation. In the fourth process, light is irradiated on, from among a first region and a second region adjacent to each other in the liquid crystal layer in a plan view, the first region with no voltage applied or with a voltage less than a threshold value applied to the first region.

A vehicle lamp can include: a first light source configured to emit visible light; a reflective surface designed to reflect the visible light emitted by the first light source and form a light distribution pattern for a vehicle lamp; and a LiDAR apparatus including a second light source configured to emit light for detecting an object to be detected to be transmitted to a first detection range and a light-receiving element configured to output, when return light being reflected light of the light for detecting the object to be detected having been reflected by the object to be detected is incident to the light-receiving element, an electric signal corresponding to an intensity of the return light, in which the LiDAR apparatus is arranged.
