VEHICLE LAMP AND SUBSTRATE
First Claim
1. A vehicle lamp configured to selectively perform a low-beam irradiation and a high-beam irradiation, the vehicle lamp comprising:
- a projector lens;
a first light source disposed behind the projector lens and configured to emit light for forming a low-beam light distribution pattern;
a second light source disposed behind the projector lens and configured to emit light for forming an additional high-beam light distribution pattern;
a shade disposed behind the projector lens and configured to form a cutoff line of the low-beam light distribution pattern; and
an optical path change portion configured to change an optical path of a part of light emitted from the second light source so as to travel toward a portion between the low-beam light distribution pattern and the additional high-beam light distribution pattern.

Abstract
A vehicle lamp configured to selectively perform a low-beam irradiation and a high-beam irradiation includes a projector lens, a light emitting element disposed behind the projector lens and configured to emit light for forming a low-beam light distribution pattern, a light emitting element disposed behind the projector lens and configured to emit light for forming an additional high-beam light distribution pattern, a upward reflecting surface (shade) disposed behind the projector lens and configured to form a cutoff line of the low-beam light distribution pattern, and an optical path change portion configured to change an optical path of a part of light emitted from the light emitting element so as to travel toward a portion between the low-beam light distribution pattern and the additional high-beam light distribution pattern.

11. A vehicle lamp configured to selectively perform a low-beam irradiation and a high-beam irradiation, the vehicle lamp comprising:
-
a projector lens; a first light source disposed behind the projector lens and configured to emit light for forming a low-beam light distribution pattern; a second light source disposed behind the projector lens and configured to emit light for forming an additional high-beam light distribution pattern; a base member on which the first light source and the second light source are disposed; and an optical member being a member separate from the base member and configured to serve as a shade for forming a cutoff line of the low-beam light distribution pattern in a state of being attached to the base member. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
