  • Patent number: 10868967
    Abstract: A light source unit includes a substrate and a light source. The light source is mounted on the substrate. At least one sensor is configured to detect the infrared light. The at least one sensor detects a wavelength component of the infrared light in a range of wavelengths from 920 nm to 960 nm better than a wavelength component of the infrared light out of the range. The light source device emits the infrared light having a peak wavelength smaller than 920 nm when the light source has a temperature of 25° C. or lower. The peak wavelength of the infrared light emitted from the light source device increases as the temperature of the light source increases from the temperature of 25° C.

  • Patent number: 10632898
    Abstract: An illumination device disposed on a moving body includes at least one main light source, and at least one auxiliary light source disposed in a periphery of the at least one main light source when seen along a traveling direction of the moving body. The illumination device further includes a first light guide disposed adjacent to the at least one main light source, that guides light transmitted from the at least one main light source, and a second light guide that is disposed adjacent to the at least one auxiliary light source, that guides light transmitted from the at least one auxiliary light source. The illumination device also includes an optical component that transmits the light from the first light guide and the light from the second light guide in the traveling direction of the moving body.
