Abstract: A vehicle headlamp includes a light source bulb for emitting light, a base member fixed with a light source bulb, a reflector for reflecting light emitted from the light source bulb, a projecting lens for projecting light reflected by the reflector to a front side along an optical axis Ax, and a shade for blocking a portion of light directed from the reflector to the projecting lens. The vehicle headlamp displaces the reflector from a first position to a second position which is upward and rearward from the base member. The vehicle headlamp can facilitate obtaining a light distribution suitable for driving on a motorway or in wet conditions.
Abstract: The present invention provides a method by which molecules in an organic semiconductor layer can be oriented so as to make molecules in an organic semiconductor layer be oriented without damaging the organic semiconductor layer by rubbing and by which molecules in an organic semiconductor layer are oriented without losing the planarity of an interface between a gate insulating film and an organic semiconductor layer by rubbing the gate insulating film, in manufacturing an organic semiconductor having molecular orientation.
