  • Patent number: 11035539
    Abstract: A vehicular lamp is capable of projecting light in a forward direction and light in a direction different of the projection lens from the forward direction. The vehicular lamp includes: a light source (3) that emits light forward, and a projection lens (4) that projects light emitted from the light source (3) forward. The projection lens (4) includes a first lens surface (4a) located on a side facing the light source (3), and receiving light emitted from the light source (3), a second lens surface (4b) located on a side opposite to the first lens surface (4a) to output received light forward, and an output portion (14) located on an outer peripheral side surface between the first lens surface (4a) and the second lens surface (4b) and configured to output a part of light (L?) having been incident on and entered through the first lens surface (4a) in a direction different from the forward direction.

  • Patent number: 10688917
    Abstract: To achieve improved visibility and alleviation of discomfort during light emission of a vehicular lamp using LEDs. The vehicular lamp includes a control part for outputting a control signal indicating light luminous intensity emitted from a light source and a light source driving part for driving the light source based on the control signal, where the light emitted from the light source driven by the light source driving part repeats a predetermined luminous intensity change pattern at a predetermined cycle, and where the predetermined luminous intensity change pattern includes a first section where the luminous intensity is increased instantaneously from a lowest to a highest value, a second section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the highest value, a third section where the luminous intensity is decreased from the highest to the lowest value, and a fourth section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the lowest value.

  • Patent number: 10352520
    Abstract: A vehicle lighting fixture can effectively utilize an inner space of a lighting chamber defined by a housing and an outer lens for the formation of an optical path, so that the light can be projected through the entire surface region of the outer lens. A reflector can extend forward and obliquely downward and can be arranged below a mounting substrate on which LEDs are mounted. An extension can be arranged in front of an LED substrate holder and the reflector. The extension can have a mirror-finished reflecting rear surface, and include a window hole portion positioned in front of the reflector, a curved portion configured to extend from an upper edge portion of the window hole portion upward and obliquely forward, and an annular flange portion configured to extend from respective outer rim portions of the window hole portion and the curved portion rearward.

  • Patent number: 10119678
    Abstract: A lighting fixture projects light sideward and has no restriction in design. The lighting fixture can include an LED; a primary lens disposed in an optical axis of the LED, the primary lens being configured to form a main light distribution; an auxiliary lens disposed on an outer peripheral side of the primary lens around the optical axis of the LED; and a reflecting portion configured to reflect part of light emitted from the LED to substantially an entire area of the auxiliary lens on an inner peripheral surface side thereof. The reflecting portion can be formed integrally with the primary lens and include an incident surface on which part of light emitted from the LED can be incident, a reflecting surface configured to reflect light having entered through the incident surface, and a light-exiting surface configured to allow the light reflected by the reflecting surface to exit.
