no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0060] In the scanning optical system using the rotary mirror 26, if the diffusion (scanning) range is expanded, the maximum light decrease, the deterioration of the imaging property can occur. Therefore, the actual scan range is about ± 10 ° relative to the optical axis (central axis). The above-described lamp unit 20 forms a remote light distribution pattern using one light source, and therefore there is a limit when expanding the scan range. Therefore, in the optical unit according to each of the following embodiments, a plurality of light sources are provided in order to expand the irradiation of the light-raising pattern of the high-dimension.

Abstract

A new optical unit capable of irradiating a wide range with a simple structure is provided. The optical unit (40) has: a first light source (42); a second light source (48); a rotating mirror (44), which reflects the first light (L1) emitted from the first light source (42) while rotating around the rotation axis; and a projection lens (46) projecting the first light (L1) reflected by the rotating mirror to the light irradiation direction of the optical unit. The second light source (48) is configured such that the emitted second light (L2) is incident on the projection lens (46) without being reflected by the rotating mirror (44), and the projection lens (46) directs the second light (L2) to the optical unit. The direction in which the light shines is projected.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical unit, and more particularly to an optical unit used in a vehicle lamp. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the following devices are designed, i.e., the light from the light source is reflected to the front of the vehicle, and the regions of the vehicle are scanned by using the reflected light, thereby forming a predetermined light distribution pattern. For example, an optical unit (Refer to Patent Document 1) is known which has a rotary mirror that reflects light emitted from the light source, rotating in one direction while rotating the axis; and is composed of a light-emitting element. A plurality of light sources, the rotating mirror is provided with a reflective surface such that light of the light source that rotates while reflecting the light source is formed, and the plurality of light sources are configured, and the respective light emitted is reflected at different positions of the reflective ...
