Abstract
A light emitting module includes: a substrate; a plurality of light sources fixed on the substrate, including two or more groups, outputs of each of the two or more groups being separately controllable; at least one light shielding member disposed between the light sources, the at least one light shielding member being in contact with a lateral surface of the light sources, and the at least one light shielding member comprising a resin material and a light diffusing material; a first lens disposed above the light sources and on which the light emitted from each of the light sources becomes incident; and drive unit capable of rotating the substrate.

A light emitting module comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of light sources fixed on the substrate, including two or more groups, outputs of each of the two or more groups being separately controllable;
- at least one light shielding member disposed between the light sources, the at least one light shielding member being in contact with a lateral surface of the light sources, and the at least one light shielding member comprising a resin material and a light diffusing material;
- a first lens disposed above the light sources and on which the light emitted from each of the light sources becomes incident;
- and
- a drive unit capable of rotating the substrate, wherein:
- the two or more groups include a first group that includes a first light source and a second group that includes a second light source,
- an angle formed by an axis of rotation of the substrate and an optical axis of first light emitted by the first light source and exiting the first lens differs from an angle formed by the axis of rotation and an optical axis of second light emitted by the second light source and exiting the first lens, and
- the second light can irradiate a first circular track having the axis of rotation as its center.
