Abstract (en)

A vehicle headlamp (1) includes: a light emitting module (15) including: a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements (18) each configured to emit light and disposed to be separated from each other in a lateral direction of the vehicle headlamp; a plurality of reflectors (22) each provided for a corresponding one of the semiconductor elements to reflect light emitted from the corresponding semiconductor light emitting element, wherein one of the reflectors located at a center position in the lateral direction is defined as a central reflector (22A); and a projector lens (29) configured to project the light emitted from the light emitting module forward, wherein the light emitting module is disposed behind a focal plane of the projector lens. Each of the reflectors (22) other than the central reflector (22A) has an outer side (26) and an inner side (25) facing the outer side, wherein a distance between the inner side and the central reflector is smaller than a distance between the outer side and the central reflector in the lateral direction. In at least one of the reflectors (22), a first inclination angle (¸ o ) of the outer side (26) with respect to an optical axis is smaller than a second inclination angle (¸ i ) of the inner side (25) with respect to the optical axis.
