  • Patent number: 11105483
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp is provided with a light source (51) that emits light in a predetermined wavelength band, a diffractive optical element (53) that diffracts the light emitted from the light source (51) to have a predetermined light distribution pattern, and a shade (55) that shields, of the light forming the predetermined light distribution pattern, at least part of the light forming the outer peripheral portion of the predetermined light distribution pattern, and the shade (55) shields the light forming the outer peripheral portion of the predetermined light distribution pattern over the entire circumference of the light distribution pattern.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11022267
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp (1) includes a light source (30) that emits pieces of laser light (LR, LG, LB) having different wavelengths in a time division manner, and a plurality of diffraction gratings (43R, 43G, 43B) corresponding to the pieces of laser light (LR, LG, LB) of the wavelengths, respectively. The laser light (LR, LG, LB) of the wavelengths emitted from the light source (30) are incident on the diffraction gratings (43R, 43G, 43B) corresponding to the laser light (LR, LG, LB), and regions irradiated with light (DLR, DLG, DLB) emitted from the diffraction grating (43R, 43G, 43B) overlap with each other.

  • Patent number: 10818214
    Abstract: Provided is a display system for a vehicle. The display system includes a display device installed to be visually recognizable from the outside of a vehicle, and a control device configured to cause the display device to display state information of the vehicle. The control device receives a signal from a sensor that senses a distance from the vehicle to an object around the vehicle, and the control device changes display of the display device based on the distance.

  • Patent number: 10502383
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp includes an excitation light source; a light deflector configured to receive light from the excitation light source and two-dimensionally scan the light received from the excitation light source; and a projection lens that transmits the light scanned by the light deflector. The vehicle headlamp includes a first auxiliary lens that is arranged between the light deflector and the projection lens so as to transmit the light scanned by the light deflector toward the projection lens, and the first auxiliary lens has a negative force.
