Abstract:
A vehicle lamp comprising:a light-emitting diode group formed by a plurality of light-emitting diodes disposed in a row-aligned fashion so that an irradiation direction of said diodes is directed toward a front of a lamp, and a light guiding plate which is a transparent plate and is provided in front of the light-emitting diode group, said light guiding plate being disposed parallel to a front-back direction of the lamp; wherein a plurality of light guiding plate units are disposed, in a direction perpendicular to the front-back direction of the lamp, inside a lamp chamber defined by a lamp body and a translucent front cover that covers a front face of the lamp body, each of said light guiding plate units causing the light from the light-emitting diodes to enter the light guiding plate from a rear end surface of the light guiding plate and advance toward a front end portion of the light guiding plate and further causing at least substantially entire light from the light-emitting diodes to exit from a front end surface of the light guiding plate toward the front of the lamp.
