Patent ID: 8172441

Claim:
A light emitting module for vehicle headlamp, the light emitting module comprising: a light emitting diode having a light emitting plane disposed to direct light toward a front side of a lighting unit; a projection lens disposed in a front side of the light emitting diode; and a reflecting surface extending in an oblique and forward direction from a side of the light emitting diode, wherein the light emitting diode has a straight brightness boundary line, wherein the projection lens has a focal point and a bottom edge of the light emitting diode is disposed at or above the focal point, wherein the reflecting surface is configured to reflect the light emitted from the light emitting diode toward a lower region from a cut line, wherein the light reflected by the reflecting surface is emitted in a forward direction without passing through said projection lens, wherein the reflecting surface, a direction of an optical axis, the focal point, and a shape of the reflecting surface are configured such that an image reflected by the reflecting surface is positioned downward from an upper side of the image of the projection lens, wherein the reflecting surface has an upper curved surface covering an upper side of the projection lens and a lower curved surface covering a lower side of the projection lens, and wherein a curvature of the upper curved surface is greater than a curvature of the lower curved surface.
