Claims15
A lamp for a vehicle, comprising:
- a lens;
- a first light source positioned at a rear side of the lens and configured to generate a first light;
- a first reflector configured to reflect the first light toward the lens;
- a second light source positioned at the rear side of the lens and configured to generate a second light;
- a second reflector configured to reflect the second light toward the lens;
- a third reflector configured to reflect the second light reflected by the second reflector, the third reflector comprising a first mirror, a second mirror, and a hinge that is rotatably coupled to the first mirror and the second mirror and that includes a hinge shaft extending in a front and rear direction of the vehicle;
- a first driving unit configured to provide first driving force;
- a first driving force transfer unit configured to transfer the first driving force to the first mirror;
- a second driving unit configured to provide second driving force;
- and
- a second driving force transfer unit configured to transfer the second driving force to the second mirror,
- wherein the first light source is configured to output the first light in a first direction, and the second light source is configured to output the second light in the first direction,
- wherein the first mirror is configured to, based upon the first driving force, rotate in an up and down direction of the vehicle about the hinge shaft, and
