Definitions

  • FIG. 4 shows an exemplary light distribution pattern formed by the automotive lamp according to the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 shows a visible light distribution pattern formed on a vertical screen placed at a predetermined position in front of the lamp, for example, at a point 25 meters ahead of the lamp.
  • the scan tracks of the laser light are shown schematically using broken lines and solid line.
  • the theoretical efficiency of the irradiation light of the automotive lamp is greater than or equal to 330 and therefore an excellent theoretical efficiency is obtained when the first laser light B has a peak wavelength ranging from 450 nm to 470 nm (both inclusive).
  • the white light emitted from the white LED indicates a high irradiance in a wavelength region wider than that of the RGB laser light source.
  • the white light emitted from the RGB laser light source has peak wavelengths, each having an extremely narrow bandwidth (half bandwidth), in a wavelength region of the blue light, in a wavelength region of the green light and in a wavelength region of the red light, respectively.
  • the average color rendering index Ra, the special color rendering index R9 and the theoretical efficiency (Im/W) of light irradiated from each of the white LED and the RGB laser light source having such spectral distribution characteristics are those indicated in FIG. 15C .
  • the values indicated in FIG. 15C are values derived such that the chromaticity (x, y) of the respective irradiation lights and the color temperatures thereof are adjusted to the chromaticities and the color temperatures generally required of the automotive lamp.
  • the aforementioned "theoretical efficiency" as meant here indicates the luminous efficacy when all of the energy inputted to the light source is outputted as visible light.
  • the RGB light source indicates values lower than those of the white LED in terms of all of Ra, R9 and the theoretical efficiency.
  • FIGS. 18A and 18B The results are shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B.
  • FIG. 18A is a table showing the calculation results of chromaticity, average color rendering index Ra, special color rendering index R9 and theoretical efficiency.
  • FIG. 18B is a graph showing a relationship between the calculation results of chromaticities and the white region.
  • the hatched cells are those under the same conditions as in the evaluation test I.
  • the automotive lamp 1 includes the first light source 1102 that emits the blue first laser light B, the second light source 1104 that emits the green second laser light G, the third light source 1106 that emits the yellow or orange third laser light O2, the fourth light source 1108 that emits the red fourth laser light R2, and the light condensing unit 1200 that collects each of the laser lights so as to generate the white laser light W2.
  • the color rendering properties of the automotive lamp can be improved over the RGB laser light source.
  • the automotive lamp having excellent color rendering properties can be designed. This can contribute to improving the performance of the automotive lamp equipped with the laser light sources.
  • installing the automotive lamp equipped with such laser light sources in the vehicle can improve the light availability of the automotive lamp while the drop in the visibility of the driver is being suppressed or the visibility thereof is being improved.
