Abstract:
To achieve improved visibility and alleviation of discomfort during light emission of a vehicular lamp using LEDs. The vehicular lamp includes a control part for outputting a control signal indicating light luminous intensity emitted from a light source and a light source driving part for driving the light source based on the control signal, where the light emitted from the light source driven by the light source driving part repeats a predetermined luminous intensity change pattern at a predetermined cycle, and where the predetermined luminous intensity change pattern includes a first section where the luminous intensity is increased instantaneously from a lowest to a highest value, a second section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the highest value, a third section where the luminous intensity is decreased from the highest to the lowest value, and a fourth section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the lowest value.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting control apparatus for a vehicular lamp for controlling the flashing of a light source used as a vehicular lamp having a semiconductor light emitting device comprising:\n a control part for generating and outputting a control signal indicating luminous intensity of light emitted from the light source and a light source driving part for driving the light source based on the control signal provided from the control part, wherein the light emitted from the light source driven by the light source driving part based on the control signal repeats a predetermined luminous intensity change pattern at a predetermined cycle, and wherein the predetermined luminous intensity change pattern comprises: (i) a first section where the luminous intensity is substantially increased instantaneously from a lowest value to a highest value, (ii) a second section following the first section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the highest value, (iii) a third section following the second section where the luminous intensity is gradually decreased from the highest value to the lowest value, and (iv) a fourth section following the third section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the lowest value.
