Claim 0:
1. A vehicle lamp comprising:
a first optical unit that irradiates light for forming a first beam pattern;
a second optical unit that irradiates light for forming a second beam pattern, the second optical unit being disposed on one side of the first optical unit in a left-right direction; and
a lens unit disposed in front of the first optical unit and the second optical unit to allow the light irradiated from at least one of the first optical unit or the second optical unit to pass through the lens unit to form at least one of the first beam pattern or the second beam pattern,
wherein the lens unit comprises a first lens module corresponding to the first optical unit and a second lens module corresponding to the second optical unit, wherein the first lens module and the second lens module are integrally formed with one another,
wherein the first optical unit comprises a plurality of first lamp modules arranged in the left-right direction, and the second optical unit comprises a plurality of second lamp modules arranged in the left-right direction,
wherein the first lens module comprises a plurality of first optical modules corresponding to the plurality of first lamp modules,
wherein the second lens module comprises a plurality of second optical modules corresponding to the plurality of second lamp modules,
wherein each of the plurality of first optical modules comprises a first incident portion to which light is incident and a first exit portion from which the light incident to the first incident portion is output,
wherein each of the plurality of second optical modules comprises a second incident portion to which light is incident and a second exit portion from which the light incident to the second incident portion is output,
wherein the first incident portion and the second incident portion have different shapes, and/or the first exit portion and the second exit portion have different shapes, and
wherein each of the first exit portion and the second exit portion comprises a plurality of exit modules arranged in the left-right direction, and the plurality of exit modules are arranged in a stepped configuration such that the plurality of exit modules are disposed at more forward or rearward positions going from one side toward the other side in the left-right direction.
