Abstract
A vehicle light device includes an optical lens and a light-emitting unit. The optical lens includes first light exit and entry lens portions, second light entry and exit lens portions connected respectively to upper and lower portions of the first light exit lens portion. The first and second light exit lens portions have respectively first and second light exit surfaces facing forwardly. The light-emitting unit includes first and second light emitting modules configured to emit first and second light rays, which travel toward the first and second light exit lens portions upon entering the first and second light entry lens portions, and which exit outwardly of the first and second light exit surfaces, respectively, toward the first and second light entry lens portions.
Claims9
A vehicle light device comprising:
- an optical lens that includes
- a first light exit lens portion having
- a first light exit surface that is disposed at a front portion thereof and that faces forwardly in a front-rear direction,
- a first light entry lens portion connected to said first light exit lens portion and disposed behind said first light exit lens portion in the front-rear direction,
- a second light entry lens portion connected to one of an upper portion and a lower portion of said first light exit lens portion that are opposite in an up-down direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction, and
- a second light exit lens portion connected to another one of said upper portion and said lower portion of said first light exit lens portion, and having
- a second light exit surface that is connected to said another one of said upper portion and said lower portion of said first light exit lens portion and that faces forwardly in the front-rear direction, and
- an inclined reflective surface that extends inclinedly and rearwardly in the front-rear direction from one end of said second light exit surface opposite to said first light exit surface;
- and
- a light-emitting unit that includes
- a first light emitting module configured to emit a plurality of first light rays toward said first light entry lens portion, the first light rays traveling toward said first light exit lens portion upon entering said first light entry lens portion, and exiting outwardly of said first light exit surface, and
- a second light emitting module configured to emit a plurality of second light rays toward said second light entry lens portion, upon entering said second light entry lens portion, said second light rays passing by said first light exit lens portion, traveling toward said second light exit lens portion, and then reflected by said inclined reflective surface to exit outwardly of said second light exit surface, and
- wherein said first light entry lens portion is configured such that the first light rays do not pass by said second light exit lens portion and do are not emitted from said second light exit surface, and
- said second light entry lens portion is configured such that the second light rays do are not emitted from said first light exit surface.
