Abstract: A vehicle headlamp is provided with: a projection lens; a light source; a reflector for reflecting light, which has been directly emitted by the light source, to a front side along an optical axis; and a shade arranged between the projection lens and the reflector, for shading a part of light reflected by the reflector 24. A bright and dark boundary forming portion capable of forming a cutoff line of a light distribution pattern is formed at an upper edge portion of the shade. In a neighborhood of the bright and dark boundary forming portion on a front face of the shade, a low reflecting region is provided.

A reflectance of the high reflecting region is higher than a reflectance of a rear face of the shade.

Abstract: Light emitted from a light source 12a is sequentially reflected on a first, second, and third additional reflectors in this order. By emitting light in the order of the reflectors, this allows the light to be parallel to an optical axis by an additional lens. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the light-emitting area of the entire headlamp, thereby improving the appearance of the headlamp with respect to the driver of the oncoming vehicle. The additional lens is formed to have a substantially wedge-shaped cross-section, and is provided along the surface shape of a projection lens. Furthermore, since the light emitted from the light source is sequentially reflected by the first, second, and third additional reflectors in this order, the light emitted from the light source can be focused and the quantity of the light passing through the additional lens is not excessively increased.
