Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a light guide extending in a first direction intersecting a front-rear direction of the lamp, a light source arranged to input light into the light guide from an end face of the light guide, and a reflector arranged behind the light guide to extend in the first direction. Reflecting elements on a rear surface portion of the light guide internally reflect the light toward a front surface portion of the light guide. The reflector has a first reflecting portion disposed behind the reflecting elements and a second reflecting portion disposed adjacent to the first reflecting portion in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first reflecting portion reflects a portion of the light that has leaked rearward from the reflecting elements, and the second reflecting portion forwardly reflects the portion of the light that has been reflected by the first reflecting portion.

A translucent diffusion cover that covers the light guide neighboring region is provided at least in front of the light guide neighboring region. Part of the light from the light guide neighboring region is diffused by the diffusion cover and then emitted through the diffusion cover, so that light emitted through the light-emitting portion and the diffusion cover is continuous, so that it appears as if the light guide that is continuous is emitting light.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a plurality of light sources, and a light guide plate configured to emit light to the front side of the lamp from a second surface facing a first surface by internally reflecting light, which is emitted from the respective light sources, by a plurality of reflective elements formed on the first surface after causing the light to enter the light guide plate from a rear end face of the light guide plate. The light guide plate is curved to the first surface and gradually becomes thinner toward the front side. The reflective elements are disposed at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction and extend in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicular lamp including a planar light source. The planar light source made of a flexible band-type light-emitting material is provided within a lamp chamber formed between a housing and a transparent cover. The band-type light-emitting material of the planar light source is bent along a longitudinal direction such that a first light-emitting surface faces the rear side of the vehicle and a second light-emitting surface faces the lateral side of the vehicle. In particular, the first and second light-emitting surfaces are alternately formed in parallel in the planar light source, and the angle formed between the first and second light-emitting surfaces is set to be obtuse such that light from one light-emitting surface is not incident to other light-emitting surface. An organic EL formed by sealing an organic light-emitting layer using a flexile transparent resin is used as the band-type light-emitting material.
