Abstract
A lamp for a vehicle includes: a lens being convex outwardly, the lens configured to transmit light; a reflector disposed inward from the lens, being convex upwardly, and configured to reflect light; a low-beam generator disposed below the reflector, the low-beam generator configured to emit a low beam; and a high-beam generator disposed below the low-beam generator, the high-beam generator configured to emit a high beam, wherein a portion of the low beam emitted from the low-beam generator is reflected by an area of the reflector close to the low-beam generator, and reaches a central area of the lens.

A lamp for a vehicle, the lamp comprising:
- a lens being convex outwardly, the lens configured to transmit light;
- a reflector disposed inward from the lens, being convex upwardly, and configured to reflect light;
- a low-beam generator disposed below the reflector, the low-beam generator configured to emit a low beam;
- and
- a high-beam generator disposed below the low-beam generator, the high-beam generator configured to emit a high beam,
- wherein a portion of the low beam emitted from the low-beam generator is reflected by an area of the reflector close to the low-beam generator, and reaches a central area of the lens, wherein the high-beam generator comprises:
- a high-beam light source configured to generate a high beam;
- a rod for providing a path through which the high beam generated by the high-beam light source travels;
- and
- a high-beam emitter by which the high beam traveling through the rod is emitted to the lens.
