Abstract
A headlamp includes: a laser diode for emitting a laser beam; a light-emitting section for emitting light by being excited by a laser beam emitted from the laser diode; a reflection mirror for reflecting the light emitted from the light-emitting section so as to form a bundle of rays which travel within a predetermined solid angle; and a first maneuvering section for maneuvering at least the reflection mirror so as to move an optical axis direction of the light reflected by the reflection mirror to a predetermined direction.
Claims14
A vehicle headlamp comprising:
- an excitation light source for emitting excitation light;
- a light-emitting section for receiving the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source, and emitting light by being exited by the excitation light;
- a reflection mirror for reflecting the light emitted from the light-emitting section so as to form a bundle of rays which travel within a predetermined solid angle;
- and
- a first maneuvering section for maneuvering at least the reflection mirror so as to move an optical axis direction of the light reflected by the reflection mirror to a predetermined direction.
