Patent ID: 7222998

Claim:
A device for illuminating a target surface on a vehicle, comprising: a light emitting diode that emits a light; and a reflector reflecting said emitted light emitted from the light emitting diode toward the target surface, wherein the reflector reflects a first part of the emitted light around an optical axis of the light emitting diode toward a distant region of the target, and a second part of the light substantially away from the optical axis toward a vicinal region of the target surface; wherein the reflector comprises: a first reflector which is arranged in a region substantially away from the optical axis; and a second reflector in a region including the optical axis, wherein the first part of the emitted light is reflected by the first reflector toward the vicinal region around said optical axis, and the second part of the emitted light is reflected by the second reflector toward the distant region thereof; wherein the first reflector is formed in a concave shape, and the second reflector is formed in a convex shape.
