Abstract:
1. A vehicle light, comprising: a projection lens having a light incident surface and a light exiting surface, a focus, and an optical axis; and a horizontally long rectangular surface light source having an optical axis and including a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices that are horizontally disposed on both sides with respect to the focus of the projection lens and are configured to be independently controlled to be turned on/off, wherein the projection lens is configured to vertically converge and horizontally diffuse light beams that are incident on the light incident surface and exit through the light exiting surface, the projection lens and the rectangular surface light source are disposed so that the respective optical axes thereof are inclined by an angle θ toward a first side with respect to an axis extending in a front-to-rear direction of a vehicle body where the vehicle light is to be mounted, thereby forming a light distribution pattern horizontally uniform with respect to a vertical axis in front of the vehicle body by light beams emitted from the semiconductor light emitting devices disposed on the first side with respect to the focus of the projection lens and passing through the projection lens.
