Vehicle lamp
First Claim
1. A vehicle lamp comprising:
- a first light emitting diode that is arranged at a first location and that emits light in a first area;
a second light emitting diode that is arranged at a second location different from the first location and that emits light in a second area;
a lamp lens having a light emission area;
a plurality of first reflection surfaces that reflect the light emitted by the first light emitting diode toward the lamp lens; and
a plurality of second reflection surfaces that reflect light emitted by the second light emitting diode toward the lamp lens, wherein the first reflection surfaces and the second reflection surfaces are alternately provided over almost entire of the light emission area of the lamp lens, the first reflection surfaces are arranged almost in the first area, the second reflection surfaces are arranged almost in the second area, each of the first reflection surface is a part of a rotational paraboloid having a focus on a light emission source of the first light emitting diode such that the paraboloids corresponding to the first reflection surfaces that are farther from the first light emitting diode have longer focal lengths, and each of the second reflection surface is a part of a rotational paraboloid having a focus on a light emission source of the second light emitting diode such that the paraboloids corresponding to the second reflection surfaces that are farther from the second light emitting diode have longer focal lengths.

Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes a set of first reflection surfaces that reflect the light emitted by a first diode toward a lamp lens, and a set of second reflection surfaces that reflect light emitted by a second diode toward the lamp lens. The first reflection surfaces and the second reflection surfaces are alternately provided in the path of the light that is reflected from the lamp lens. Each of the first reflection surface is a part of a rotational paraboloid having a focus on a light emission source of the first diode such that the paraboloids corresponding to the first reflection surfaces that are farther from the first diode have longer focal lengths. Each of the second reflection surface is a part of a rotational paraboloid having a focus on a light emission source of the second diode such that the paraboloids corresponding to the second reflection surfaces that are farther from the second diode have longer focal lengths.

9. A vehicle lamp comprising:
-
a light emitting diode that emits light;
a lamp lens having a light emission area;
a plurality of reflection surfaces that reflect the lights emitted by the light emitting diode; and
a plurality of mirror finished surfaces that do not function to reflect the light emitted by the light emitting diode but function to reflect an outside light incident from the lamp lens, wherein the reflection surfaces and the mirror finished surfaces are alternately provided over almost entire of the light emission area, the reflection surfaces are arranged almost within a range of an illumination angle of the light emitted by the light emitting diode, each of the reflection surface is a part of a rotational paraboloid having a focus on a light emission source of the light emitting diode such that the paraboloids corresponding to the reflection surfaces that are farther from the light emitting diode have longer focal lengths, and each of the mirror finished surfaces is arranged on a segment that connects the light emission source of the light emitting diode to one of boundaries between the reflection surfaces and the mirror finished surfaces, or arranged on an opposite side to a light reflection direction of the reflection surfaces from the segment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
