Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2138760A2] A vehicle lamp (10) includes: a convex lens (12) disposed on an optical axis (Ax) extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle; and a light emitting element (14) disposed near a rear focal point (F) of the convex lens (12) to face a forward direction. The convex lens (12) controls deflection of light emitted from the light emitting element (14) to form a light distribution pattern having cut-off lines at the upper end thereof. The convex lens (12) includes a first lens region (12Z1) which deflects and diffuses the light toward a first direction and a second lens region (12Z2) which deflects and diffuses the light toward a second direction. The second direction forms an obtuse angle with respect to the first direction. The convex lens (12) selects: a first angular position where the first direction is a horizontal direction; and a second angular position where the second direction is the horizontal direction.
