Embodiment Construction

[0073] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0074] figure 1 It is a side sectional view showing a vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention. in addition, figure 2 Yes figure 1 sectional view of line II-II.

[0075] As shown in these figures, the vehicle lamp 10 according to the present embodiment is a headlamp for low beam installed at the front end of the vehicle, and is configured as a projection type lamp unit which is assembled in a lamp chamber, The lamp chamber is formed of a lamp body (not shown) and a transparent light-transmitting cover 12 attached to the front end opening of the lamp body.

[0076] That is, the vehicle lamp 10 has a structure including a projection lens 20 having an optical axis Ax extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, a light-emitting element 30, a reflector 40, and a base member 50, the light-emitting element 30 serving as a light source, The refl...

Abstract

In the case of a projection type vehicle lamp, even when the projection lens is composed of a plurality of lenses, it is possible to form a light distribution pattern having a high uniformity. The projection lens (20) is composed of two lenses (22, 24) arranged on an optical axis (Ax) extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In this case, the rear main surface (Pr) of the projection lens (20) is formed by a convex curved surface having a large curvature as compared with a spherical surface (S1) having a rear focal point (F) as its center. As a result, the coma aberration extending toward the inner side (the optical axis side) is generated on the imaging surface of the projection lens (20); as a result, in the light distribution pattern formed by the light emitted from the projection lens (20), blurring caused by the coma aberration can form blurring with a tail extending toward the outside of the light distribution pattern, thus improving the uniformity of the light distribution pattern.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a projection type vehicle lamp. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a projection-type vehicle lamp is known, which is configured to irradiate forward light from a light source arranged behind a projection lens via a projection lens. [0003] In "Patent Document 1", as a projection lens in the above-mentioned vehicle lamp, a projection lens composed of two lenses arranged on an optical axis extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is described. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-26741 [0005] In a vehicle lamp such as a headlamp, it is desirable to form a light distribution pattern with as little light unevenness as possible as a light distribution pattern formed by the irradiated light thereof. [0006] In conventional projection-type vehicle lamps, a plano-convex aspheric lens whose front surface is formed of a convex curved surface is often used as the projection lens, but...
