  • Patent number: 12781943
    Abstract: In a drawing lamp configured to form a drawing light distribution pattern, it is possible to form the drawing light distribution pattern without giving discomfort to the surroundings. Light is emitted from a drawing unit 20 to a lamp front via a translucent cover 14. In this case, a reflecting mirror 40 that reflects the light emitted from the drawing unit 20 downward is disposed between the drawing unit 20 and the translucent cover 14. In addition, the reflecting mirror 40 is disposed at a position overlapping with a light emitting region A of the drawing unit 20 in an up-down direction. As a result, it is possible to effectively reduce light emission from the drawing unit 20 itself from being visually recognized when a drawing lamp 10 is ON and to prevent unnecessary discomfort from being given to other vehicles, pedestrians, and the like.
