Abstract
A lamp for a vehicle includes a plurality of lamp modules. Each of the plurality of lamp modules comprises a light source unit including a light source; an optical path adjusting unit that adjusts a path of light generated from the light source unit; and a lens unit that emits the light incident from the optical path adjusting unit to form a first beam pattern. Further, the lens unit comprises an incident lens unit including a plurality of incident lenses; an emitting lens unit including a plurality of emitting lenses; and a shield unit disposed between the incident lens unit and the emitting lens unit to obstruct a portion of the light incident on the plurality of emitting lenses.
Claims20
A lamp for a vehicle comprising a plurality of lamp modules,
- wherein each of the plurality of lamp modules comprises:
- a light source unit including a light source;
- an optical path adjusting unit that adjusts a path of light generated from the light source unit;
- and
- a lens unit that emits the light incident from the optical path adjusting unit to form a first beam pattern, and
- wherein the lens unit comprises:
- an incident lens unit including a plurality of incident lenses;
- an emitting lens unit including a plurality of emitting lenses;
- a shield unit disposed between the incident lens unit and the emitting lens unit to obstruct a portion of the light incident on the plurality of emitting lenses;
- a first optical unit in which the incident lens unit is formed on an incident surface thereof;
- and
- a second optical unit disposed in front of the first optical unit, wherein the emitting lens unit is formed on an emitting surface of the second optical unit,
- wherein a first set of the plurality of lamp modules have a thickness of the first optical unit, measured in a front-and-rear direction, that is different from a thickness of the first optical unit in a second set of the plurality of lamp modules,
- wherein the first set of the plurality of lamp modules form a high illuminance region of the first beam pattern, and the second set of the plurality of lamp modules form a spread region of the first beam pattern, and
- wherein the thickness of the first optical unit in the first set of the plurality of lamp modules is smaller than the thickness of the first optical unit in the second set of the plurality of lamp modules.
A lamp for a vehicle comprising a plurality of lamp modules,
- wherein each of the plurality of lamp modules comprises:
- a light source unit including a light source;
- an optical path adjusting unit that adjusts a path of light generated from the light source unit;
- and
- a lens unit that emits the light incident from the optical path adjusting unit to form a first beam pattern, and
- wherein the lens unit comprises:
- an incident lens unit including a plurality of incident lenses;
- an emitting lens unit including a plurality of emitting lenses;
- and
- a shield unit disposed between the incident lens unit and the emitting lens unit to obstruct a portion of the light incident on the plurality of emitting lenses,
- wherein the plurality of emitting lenses are arranged in rows, each extending in a left-right direction, and the rows are arranged in an up-down direction,
- wherein the emitting lens unit is configured to form a second beam pattern that is different from the first beam pattern by at least one of a plurality of rows arranged in the up-down direction,
- wherein an emitting lens of at least one row that forms the second beam pattern has an upper side and a lower side formed asymmetrically with respect to a reference line that extends in a front-rear direction, and
- wherein in the emitting lens of the at least one row that forms the second beam pattern, the upper side and the lower side have different lengths in the up-down direction.
