Abstract: A lighting device of the present invention includes: a first reflecting surface which is an elliptical reflecting surface; a semiconductor-type light source which is disposed at a first focal point of the first reflecting surface; and parabolic reflecting surfaces for controlling reflected light from the first reflecting surface and reflecting the controlled reflected light on a road surface, as predetermined light distribution patterns. The parabolic reflecting surfaces are a plurality of reflecting surfaces which are longitudinally divided into three sections. As a result, longitudinal steps are formed among the three parabolic reflecting surfaces that are longitudinally divided. Thus, if the reflected light from the first reflecting surface is incident to the longitudinal steps, the incident light is reflected in the lateral direction, i.e., in the transverse direction at the steps. In this manner, vertical stray light can be prevented.

Abstract: A reflector is constructed by arranging two first reflecting surfaces. The two first reflecting surfaces are arranged by making first focal points F1 of the first reflecting surfaces be alienated from each other, centering on the optical axis Z within an area of an effective diameter R of a convex lens, and making second focal points F2 thereof gradually come close to each other so as to be located inside the two first focal points F1. An LED is formed of two LEDs respectively arranged near the first focal positions, with light emitting points F1 thereof facing one of the two first reflecting surfaces. The obtained light distribution pattern has double quantity of light, and does not have a non-emission part inside thereof, and the combined light of the two LEDs can solve a problem of color irregularity.

Abstract: A headlamp unit for a vehicle has two LEDs, two sub-reflectors, a main reflector and a convex lens. The sub-reflector reflects light emitted by the LED and has a reflective surface and an opening. The reflective surface is a part of an ellipsoid of revolution having a first focus position located to the LED and a second focus position located on an upper side of an optical axis. The opening is formed on an upper portion of the sub-reflector so as to substantially coincide with a horizontal plane including the optical axis. The main reflector is disposed so as to be opposed to the sub-reflectors and reflects light reflected by the sub-reflectors. The convex lens forward outputs light reflected by the main reflector to present a desired light distribution pattern.
