Claim 8:
9. A vehicle lamp to form at least one beam pattern using a plurality of lamp modules, wherein at least one of the plurality of lamp modules comprises:
a light source unit that generates light;
an optical unit that transmits the light generated by the light source unit therethrough; and
a reflection unit that reflects the light generated by the light source unit to be incident upon the optical unit,
wherein the light source unit includes a light source chip, which is spaced apart laterally from an optical axis of the optical unit,
wherein a central axis of the reflection unit is tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the optical axis of the optical unit to allow the light generated by the light source chip to proceed toward the optical unit,
wherein the optical unit includes lateral surfaces formed on both lateral sides thereof between a light-incident surface and a light-emitting surface of the optical unit, with edges dividing the light-emitting surface and the lateral surfaces, and
wherein at least one optical pattern is formed on at least parts of the lateral surfaces for diffusing or scattering the light.
