Abstract
Disclosed is an inner lens provided in a lamp, the inner lens including a light transmission part through which at least a portion of a light beam output from a light source passes and is then output, a light distribution formation part that outputs, to an outside of the lamp, a light beam, which forms a light distribution pattern, within a transmission light beam that is the light beam output from the light transmission part, and an image formation part that outputs, to the outside, a light beam, which forms an image pattern, among the transmission light beam.
Claims20
An inner lens for a lamp, comprising:
- a light transmission part configured to receive at least a portion of a light beam output from a light source and transmit, to other parts of the inner lens, a transmission light beam including the received portion of the light beam;
- a light distribution formation part configured to generate, based on the transmission light beam transmitted from the light transmission part, a first light beam having a light distribution pattern, and externally output the first light beam in a first direction;
- and
- an aesthetic image formation part configured to generate, based on the transmission light beam transmitted from the light transmission part, a second light beam having an aesthetic image pattern, and externally output the second light beam,
- wherein the light distribution formation part includes a first light distribution formation portion extending in the first direction from the light transmission part to a first direction end portion of the first light distribution formation portion,
- wherein the aesthetic image formation part includes a plurality of image optics configured to externally reflect the transmission light beam transmitted from the light transmission part to form the aesthetic image pattern, and
- wherein a first gap in the first direction between the light source and the first direction end portion of the first light distribution formation portion is greater than a second gap in the first direction between the light source and all of the plurality of image optics.

A lamp comprising:
- a light source configured to output a light beam;
- and
- an inner lens configured to receive the light beam output from the light source, wherein the inner lens includes:
- a light transmission part configured to receive at least a portion of the light beam output from the light source and transmit, to other parts of the inner lens, a transmission light beam including the received portion of the light beam;
- a light distribution formation part configured to generate, based on the transmission light beam transmitted from the light transmission part, a first light beam having a light distribution pattern, and externally output the first light beam;
- and
- an aesthetic image formation part configured to generate, based on the transmission light beam transmitted from the light transmission part, and externally output a second light beam having an aesthetic image pattern, and externally outputting the second light beam,
- wherein the light distribution formation part includes a first light distribution formation portion extending in a first direction from the light transmission part to a first direction end portion of the first light distribution formation portion,
- wherein the aesthetic image formation part includes a plurality of image optics configured to externally reflect the transmission light beam transmitted from the light transmission part to form the aesthetic image pattern, and
- wherein a first gap in the first direction between the light source and the first direction end portion of the first light distribution formation portion is greater than a second gap in the first direction between the light source and all of the plurality of image optics.
