Abstract
A vehicle lamp, whose outgoing light emitted from a lamp lens to an outside can satisfy vehicle regulations, includes: a lamp housing and a lamp lens which form a lamp chamber, and an excitation-light irradiation unit and a light conversion unit disposed in the lamp chamber. The lamp lens is constituted by a red lens. Since most of outgoing light emitted from the lamp lens to the outside is secondary light, vehicle regulations may be satisfied.
Claims8
A vehicle lamp, comprising:
- a lamp housing and a lamp lens that form a lamp chamber;
- and
- an excitation-light irradiation unit and a light conversion unit disposed in the lamp chamber, wherein
- the excitation-light irradiation unit has:
- an excitation light source that emits excitation light;
- and
- an excitation-light final irradiation surface that finally irradiates the light conversion unit with the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source;
- the light conversion unit has:
- a light emitting film that emits secondary light by the excitation light emitted from the excitation-light final irradiation surface;
- a reflection film that reflects the secondary light emitted from the light emitting film toward the light emitting film side;
- and
- a secondary-light emitting surface that emits the secondary light toward the lamp lens side;
- the excitation light has a dominant wavelength shorter than 500 nm;
- the secondary light has a dominant wavelength longer than 500 nm;
- and
- the lamp lens is constituted by a red lens.
