Abstract:
1. A vehicle light comprising: a plurality of optical units each utilizing a semiconductor light emitting device as a light source, wherein respective optical units form light distribution sub-patterns that are superposed to form a light distribution pattern for low beam, wherein the respective optical units have light emission areas arranged in a width direction of a vehicle body to project light from respective light emission areas so that the light emission areas are not overlapped with each other, wherein the light emission areas of the optical units are arranged so that ranges of the light emission areas as defined in a vertical direction of the light emission areas form a single range continuous in the vertical direction, wherein the vehicle light includes only the respective optical units, and wherein an uppermost edge of a first of the optical units is located at a first highest position, and an uppermost edge of each remaining optical unit is located at a successively lower position in a vertical direction as compared to an adjacent uppermost edge position.
