  • Patent number: 11175008
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a light source unit including a first light source and a second light source, a reflector which includes a plurality of first reflecting surfaces sharing a first focal point at a position corresponding to the first light source and a plurality of second reflecting surfaces sharing a second focal point at a position corresponding to the second light source, and which has a shape by which the first reflecting surfaces and the second reflecting surfaces diffuse a white light from the first light source and an orange light from the second light source in the right-left direction in an in-vehicle state, and an inner lens that emits the white light and the orange light reflected by the plurality of first reflecting surfaces and the plurality of second reflecting surfaces from a common emission surface to the front of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10168595
    Abstract: An electrodeposition element is provided which includes a first substrate including a first member and an electrode arranged above the first member, a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate and including an electrode, and an electrolyte layer arranged between the electrodes of the first substrate and the second substrate, and including an electrodeposition material that contains silver. When a voltage is applied between the electrodes of the first substrate and the second substrate such that the first substrate side is negative and the second substrate side is positive, a reflective surface made of a silver thin film and reflecting light, which is incident from a direction normal to the first and second substrates, in a direction not parallel to the incident direction of the light is formed above the electrode of the first substrate.

  • Patent number: 10078168
    Abstract: A vehicle lighting unit can distribute light in a wider area than the conventional lighting unit without increasing the number of parts. The vehicle lighting unit can include: a light source; a light guiding member configured to have a side portion to receive light from the light source from the side portion and guide the light, and have an inclined face formed obliquely rearward in a light guiding path of the light; and a reflection face inclined forward and disposed to face to the inclined face with a gap between the reflection face and the inclined face of the light guiding member.
