Abstract

Provided is a headlamp of a vehicle, and more particularly, an automotive headlamp which is structured in a simple manner to secure a sufficient amount of light, emit light in different beam patterns, and improve heat dissipation efficiency thereof. The automotive headlamp includes: a plurality of lamp modules (100,200) disposed in different directions from an optical axis (C) of the automotive headlamp; and a projection lens (400) projecting light emitted from one or more of the lamp modules(100,200). Each of the lamp modules (100,200) includes a light source unit (110,201) emitting light downward, and a reflector (120,202) disposed under the light source unit (110,201) and reflecting light emitted from the light source unit.
