  • Vehicle-mounted headlamp
    Patent number: 9803821
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted headlamp using an LED includes a projector lens projecting the LED light to the vehicle front. A light distribution member forming a low-beam lamp light distribution includes: a first incident surface through which the LED light emitted frontward enters; a first reflecting surface disposed on an optical axis such that a projector lens side edge overlaps an LED side focus of the projector lens; a second incident surface and a second reflecting surface disposed on an upper side of the optical axis such that the LED light emitted upward enters through the second incident surface and is reflected frontward by the second reflecting surface; and a third incident surface and a third reflecting surface disposed on the upper side of the optical axis such that the LED light emitted downward enters through the third incident surface and is reflected frontward by the third reflecting surface.
