Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicular lamp which creates light directed upward using a reflector that allows the light incident below the lower end of the lens to exit upward through a lens and which minimizes the uneven light distribution of the created light distribution pattern. The vehicular lamp according to the present invention includes: a semiconductor light source unit ( 20 ) including a light-emitting chip ( 21 ); a horizontally long lens ( 30 ) disposed in front of the light source unit ( 20 ); and a reflector ( 40 ) positioned between the lens ( 30 ) and light source unit ( 40 ) and disposed below the light-emitting chip ( 21 ) along a vertical direction. The reflector ( 40 ) includes a reflection surface ( 41 ) for creating a plurality of virtual focal points intersecting a vertical axis passing through the light emitting center O of the light-emitting chip ( 21 ). The distribution of light from the reflection surface ( 41 ) is controlled so that light is emitted from a light emitting surface ( 32 ) vertically below the optical axis Z of the lens ( 30 ). The lens ( 30 ) is formed such that, when a point light source is assumed on the optical axis Z, first direct light LM on the optical axis Z emitted from the point light source is distributed upward from the light emitting surface ( 32 ).

Claim (Index 3):
The vehicular lamp according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the light source unit includes the plurality of light emitting chips arranged in the horizontal direction, the reflecting surface forms a plurality of virtual foci on the vertical axis of each of the light emitting chips, and when assuming the plurality of point light sources arranged in the horizontal direction on a horizontal cross section including the optical axis of the lens, the lens is configured to perform light distribution control of the first direct light group on the horizontal cross section including the lens optical axis from the plurality of point light sources upward on the light emission surface.
