Abstract
A vehicle lamp is configured to form a required light distribution pattern by irradiating light emitted from a light source unit toward a lamp front side via a microlens array. The microlens array is configured such that a plurality of condenser lens portions configured to converge the light emitted from the light source unit are formed on a rear surface, while a plurality of projection lens portions configured to project a plurality of light source images formed by the plurality of condenser lens portions are formed on a front surface, and a laterally long light distribution pattern is formed by the light emitted from the microlens array.

A vehicle lamp configured to form a required light distribution pattern by irradiating light emitted from a light source unit toward a lamp front side via a microlens array, wherein the microlens array is configured such that a plurality of condenser lens portions configured to converge the light emitted from the light source unit are formed on a rear surface, while a plurality of projection lens portions configured to project a plurality of light source images formed by the plurality of condenser lens portions are formed on a front surface, and a laterally long light distribution pattern is formed by the light emitted from the microlens array.
7-10. (canceled)
A vehicle lamp configured to form a required light distribution pattern by irradiating light emitted from a light source unit toward a lamp front side via a microlens array, wherein the microlens array includes a rear lens array in which a plurality of condenser lens portions configured to converge the light emitted from the light source unit are formed on a rear surface, and a front lens array in which a plurality of projection lens portions configured to project a plurality of light source images formed by the plurality of condenser lens portions are formed on a front surface, and
- a light shielding plate configured to define a shape of each of the plurality of light source images and a color filter configured to change a color of the light emitted from the microlens array to a color different from a color of the light emitted from the light source unit are arranged between the rear lens array and the front lens array.
