Abstract
Provided is a vehicular marker lamp including a planar light emitter; and a lens including an incident portion formed on a surface facing the planar light emitter. A plurality of cross-sectionally triangular prisms are arranged in the incident portion in a state where the vertexes of triangular prisms face the planar light emitter side. Each of the prisms includes an incident surface formed on one surface in the arrangement direction to make a light from the planar light emitter is incident and a light-shielding portion formed on a surface opposite to the incident surface to shield incidence of the light from the planar light emitter.

A vehicular marker lamp comprising:
- a planar light emitter;
- and
- a lens coupled to the planar light emitter and including an incident portion formed on a surface facing the planar light emitter,
- wherein a plurality of cross-sectionally triangular prisms are arranged in the incident portion in a state where vertexes of the triangular prisms face the planar light emitter, and
- each of the prisms includes an incident surface formed on one surface and arranged along the incident portion to make a light from the planar light emitter incident on the incident surface, and a light-shielding portion formed on a surface opposite to the incident surface to shield incidence of the light from the planar light emitter, wherein the light-shielding portion is formed at a substantially right angle with respect to the planar light emitter.
A vehicular marker lamp comprising:
- a planar light emitter;
- and
- a lens coupled to the planar light emitter and including an incident portion formed on a surface facing the planar light emitter,
- wherein the incident portion includes a plurality of cross-sectionally triangular prisms each having a vertex facing the planar light emitter, the prisms being arranged along a longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and
- a light-shielding portion is formed on a surface of each of the prisms, which is directed toward a rear side of the vehicle, to shield incidence of a light from the planar light emitter, wherein the light-shielding portion is formed at a substantially right angle with respect to the planar light emitter.
