Patent Images
1. A headlamp for a vehicle which is constituted to form a light distribution pattern for a low beam, comprising:
- a plurality of lighting units using semiconductor light emitting elements as light sources, wherein a cutoff line forming unit for carrying out a light irradiation to form a cutoff line of the light distribution pattern for a low beam, a hot zone forming unit for carrying out a light irradiation to form a hot zone of the light distribution pattern for a low beam and a diffusion region forming unit for carrying out a light irradiation to form a diffusion region of the light distribution pattern for a low beam are used as the lighting units.

Abstract
The invention includes a headlamp having a plurality of lighting units using light emitting diodes as light sources. A cutoff line forming unit, hot zone forming units, and a diffusion region forming unit are used as these lighting units. Consequently, a light distribution pattern for a low beam having a desirable pattern shape and light intensity distribution can be obtained as the synthetic light distribution pattern of light distribution patterns formed by the irradiation of a light from these three kinds of lighting units.
