Vehicle lamp
A vehicle lamp includes: a first light guide including a first light guiding portion having a first light emitting surface and a first light incident surface; a second light guide including a second light guiding portion having a second light emitting surface and a second light incident surface; and a first reflector configured to reflect a part of light emitted from the first light emitting surface. The first light guiding portion and the second light guiding portion are disposed on opposite sides across the first reflector, the first light guiding portion is positioned on a light emitting direction side of the second light guiding portion, and a part of the second light guiding portion is positioned outside the first light guiding portion in the light guide direction.
Lighting apparatus for a vehicle having a planar light guide and an elongate light guide
A lighting apparatus for vehicles, comprising a planar light-guiding element, which has opposing flat sides at which input coupled light is totally internally reflected, which has a first narrow side in a light input coupling region for coupling in the light, which has a second narrow side in a light output coupling region for coupling out the light in a main emission direction of the lighting apparatus, and which has a connecting side connecting the first narrow side and the second narrow side. An elongate light guide follows the contour of the first narrow side of the planar light-guiding element is provided in an arranged fashion with a first end face arranged at one end side and with a second end face, between which a lateral surface of the elongate light guide extends, said lateral surface having output coupling elements for diverting the light coupled into the elongate light guide.

VEHICLE LIGHT FIXTURE
To improve design characteristics when the light fixture is turned on in a vehicle light fixture including a plate-shaped light guide. The plate-shaped light guide (32) is configured such that light from five light sources (40A1, 40A2, 40A3, 40A4 and 40A5) is totally reflected by a plurality of reflective elements (32s) formed on a first plate surface (32a) on a rear surface side of the plate-shaped light guide, and then emitted forward of a light fixture unit from a second plate surface (32b) of the plate-shaped light guide. At that time, five light emitting regions (32A1, 32A2, 32A3, 32A4 and 32A5) are arranged at intervals in a horizontal direction in the plate-shaped light guide (32), and then the reflective elements (32s) are arranged in a state of being continuously side by side along a line L extending in a direction intersecting the horizontal direction in each of the light emitting regions (32A1 to 32A5). Each reflective element (32s) is formed in a substantially concave spherical surface shape. In addition, the light sources (40A1 to 40A5) are configured to be able to be individually turned on in a state of being respectively arranged in the light emitting regions (32A1 to 32A5).

Tool and Method for Producing a Lamp Body
A tool for producing a lamp body includes a tool head having an optical waveguide exit opening, an optical waveguide provision device for providing an optical waveguide at the optical waveguide exit opening, and a positioning element which has an optical waveguide guide surface and is displaceable along an axis that extends at a distance from the optical waveguide exit opening.
Lamp device, sensor system, and sensor device
A translucent cover (1012) defines a lamp chamber (1013) together with a housing (1011) while forming a portion of an outer face of a vehicle. A LiDAR sensor (1161) is disposed in the lamp chamber (1013) to detect external information of the vehicle. A half mirror (1162) is disposed in the lamp chamber (1013) so as to cover the LiDAR sensor (1161) from a side where the translucent cover (1162) is disposed. The translucent cover (1012) has a first transparency to visible light. The half mirror (1162) has a second transparency to the visible light that is lower than the first transparency.
