Claim 8:
9. A vehicular air-conditioning apparatus having a photocatalytic module, comprising:
a duct configured to allow conditioned air to flow therethrough;
a photocatalytic filter mounted in the duct, wherein the photocatalytic filter is coated with a photocatalytic material configured to remove harmful substances in reaction to light energy; and
a rotation unit rotatably mounted in the duct in a state of being spaced apart from the photocatalytic filter, the rotation unit being provided with at least one light source configured to radiate light toward the photocatalytic filter,
wherein, when the rotation unit is rotated, a position of the at least one light source is changed in a rotational direction of the rotation unit such that the light is radiated on the photocatalytic filter over an increased range,
wherein the rotation unit comprises:
a fixed body extending across an interior of the duct and fixed to the interior of the duct; and
a rotary body rotatably mounted to the fixed body and disposed at a center of the interior of the duct, the rotary body comprising at least one wing configured to be rotated by the conditioned air, and

wherein the at least one light source is mounted on the at least one wing.
