Patent ID: 8342720

Claim:
A vehicle light, comprising: a semiconductor light emitting device including a semiconductor light emitting element having a light emitting surface and a wavelength conversion layer configured to cover the light emitting surface of the semiconductor light emitting element, the wavelength conversion layer having a thickness-decreased portion and a thickness-uniform portion, the thickness-decreased portion being formed substantially at a center line of the light emitting surface and extending to one end of the semiconductor light emitting element so that a thickness of the wavelength conversion layer is reduced from a position substantially at the center line toward the one end of the semiconductor light emitting element where the thickness of the wavelength conversion layer is a minimum thickness; and a projection optical system configured to form a cutoff line including at least one of a horizontal cutoff line and an oblique cutoff line in a light distribution, the projection optical system configured to project a plurality of light source images each including an image portion corresponding to the thickness-decreased portion at an upper area of the light source images, and configured to arrange the image portions in at least one of a horizontal direction and an oblique direction.
