In a headlight optical-axis control device 10, a controller 15 is configured to: calculate vehicle angles indicating tilt angles of a vehicle relative to a road surface, on the basis of ratios, each being a ratio of a difference between a reference acceleration in a longitudinal direction and a signal indicating an acceleration in the longitudinal direction detected during traveling of the vehicle, to a difference between a reference acceleration in a perpendicular direction and a signal indicating an acceleration in the perpendicular direction detected during traveling of the vehicle by an acceleration sensor 2; calculate a plot of the calculated vehicle angles thereby to derive a vehicle angle corresponding to a case where a change of the acceleration in the longitudinal direction is zero; and generate a signal for controlling the optical axes of headlights 5L and 5R on the basis of the derived vehicle angle.

A headlight optical axis control apparatus calculates an inclination angle of a vehicle with respect to a road surface from a ratio of a difference between acceleration signals in the front-and-rear direction measured at two time points (kn, kn+1) to a difference between acceleration signals in the up-and-down direction measured at the two time points (kn, kn+1), the two time points being in the vicinity of a time when the attitude of a vehicle body becomes equivalent to a stationary state, in a period from a time when the travelling vehicle stops to a time when the vehicle body comes to a halt.

A vehicle headlight (1) is equipped with: a light source unit (10) for forming a light distribution pattern which can be changed by light beams emitted from a light source group (130); and a control unit (CO). In a case where a detection signal of another vehicle present in front of an ego-vehicle (100) is inputted from a detection unit (29) for detecting the other vehicle, the control unit (CO) causes first light sources of the light source group (130), which emit light toward a first region (AR1) including a region overlapping a visual recognition part of the other vehicle used by a driver thereof to visually recognize the outside of the other vehicle, to emit light having a lower intensity than in a case where no detection signal is inputted, and causes second light sources, among second light sources of the light source group (130) that emit light toward a second region (AR2) surrounding the first region (AR1), which emit light toward a lower-side region (BA1) lower than the first region (AR1), to emit light with an increasingly lower intensity toward the side closer to the first region (AR1).

A vehicle lamp includes: a light source unit including at least one light source configured to generate light; a lens that is arranged closer to a front of the vehicle lamp as compared to the light source unit, the lens configured to transmit the light generated by the light source unit; and a shield that is arranged between the light source unit and the lens, and configured to receive the light generated by the light source and allow at least a portion of the received light to pass therethrough, wherein the shield includes a plurality of pixels having respective light transmittances that are configured to be variably controlled, and wherein each of the plurality of pixels is configured to allow independent control of respective light transmittances.
