2. Description of the Related Art Vehicles have become a widely used transportation tool in modern life, and the growth speed has been remarkable, but traffic accidents have become relatively frequent. Therefore, if the vehicle behind can effectively be warned of the movement of the vehicle, the occurrence of accidents can be reduced, and the safety of the vehicle can be ensured. For example, an alarm lamp (commonly known as a third brake lamp) having a warning function is usually provided inside the rear windshield glass of a current vehicle, so that a vehicle behind it can be notified of a brake deceleration state of the vehicle. . An alarm lamp having the function of a direction indicator lamp has also been developed and designed, but has the following problems. 1. The current alarm lamp design simply links the car's brake light and turn signal light, thus only slightly raising the position of the lamp to the line of sight of the human body, just increasing the number of lamps It did not, and no functional enhancement was seen. 2. According to the currently known operation design method of an alarm lamp, a lamp that emits light continuously (generally a red lamp) is used as an alarm lamp. On the other hand, when visibility is poor due to cloudiness, fog, typhoon, heavy rain, etc., or when a vehicle has failed, a flashing yellow lamp is generally used to notify the following vehicle, and if this operation is continuously ongoing, the vehicle When the direction indicator lamp is used to switch the roadway, blind spots occur and cannot be used for synchronization, causing a danger (the purpose of the blinking yellow lamp is to inform other vehicles of the position of this vehicle, and therefore It is very important that the representation by way of a turn signal lamp for a roadway change is also important, so that displaying these different functional objectives with the same flashing yellow lamp would rather make it impossible to express them explicitly). 3. In addition, when the left and right direction indicator lamps are provided at a very short distance (for example, on both sides of the third brake lamp), if the vehicle behind is located farther from the vehicle,
Since both points seem to be the same point, it was not possible to discriminate which of the left indicator lamp and the right indicator lamp was blinking, causing confusion. 4. Also, when left and right arrows are provided on the left and right direction indicators, respectively, if the arrow is not displayed with a large area, the driver of the vehicle behind may have nearsightedness, astigmatism, or poor visibility. Since the lighting of the lamp of the preceding vehicle appears at one point, it is difficult to distinguish between the left and right. 5. In addition, most of the current vehicle alarm lamps have an alarm function as a main function, and few of them have a design of a direction indicator lamp function. Alarm lamps were lacking in function design. 6. Also, some left and right direction indicator lamps are arranged such that a plurality of lamps arranged in a line flash like a running light in order from right to left when turning left and from left to right when turning right, This caused eyestrain for the driver behind.
