Abstract: A first camera unit (111) acquires an image including at least an area ahead of a vehicle based on a first optical axis (X1). A second camera unit (112) acquires an image including at least an area on the left of the vehicle based on a second optical axis (X2). When viewed from an up-down direction of the vehicle, the first optical axis (X1) and the second optical axis (X2) intersect with each other.

Abstract: A light emitting element, a reflector, a projection lens, and a movable shade are arranged in a lamp chamber. As the movable shade is erected, a low beam is formed. As the movable shade is tilted, a travelling beam is formed. The reflector and a sub reflector are integrally formed. The movable reflector reflects the reflected light reflected by the sub reflector toward the projection lens. The sub reflector is positioned in a range of an outer shape of the projection lens.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a light source, a rotation reflector that includes a reflective surface that reflects emission light emitted from the light source while rotating, a projection lens that projects the reflected light from the rotation reflector to a front of the vehicle, and a movable shade provided between the rotation reflector and the projection lens. The movable shade is configured to be movable between a first position where the reflected light passes when the reflected light is projected to the front side of the vehicle and a second position where at least a part of incident light that is incident from the projection lens is shielded so as not to reach the rotation reflector.

Abstract: A vehicular headlamp system includes: a pair of right and left headlamp units; and a road surface drawing unit provided in the headlamp units, the road surface drawing unit being configured to emit first light so as to form a first light distribution pattern and to emit second light so as to form a second light distribution pattern, such that a predetermined drawing pattern is drawn on a road surface, the drawing pattern being configured such that the first light distribution pattern and the second light distribution pattern are adjacent to each other or the first light distribution pattern and the second light distribution pattern at least partially overlap each other, and the first light and the second light being set in a relationship of complementary colors.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp is provided including a road surface pattern-rendering unit and a dust removal device. The road surface pattern-rendering unit is installed to a headlamp unit provided to a front end section of a vehicle, and forms a specific light distribution pattern by causing light shone from a light source to be reflected by a MEMS mirror toward a vehicle front side. The dust removal device is provided to the headlamp unit and removes dust adhering to the MEMS mirror.
