That is, the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are the light sources of the stop lamps are respectively arranged in the four corners of a square on a circle centered on one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp or the vicinity thereof. Comparison is made with a semiconductor-type light source (see the semiconductor-type light source of FIGS. 9 to 12). It is assumed that the distances between the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are the light source of the stop lamp and the one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp are substantially equal. The semiconductor-type light source to be compared needs the luminance distribution shown by the broken-line square in FIG. 5 in order to obtain the light distribution characteristic of the stop lamp shown in FIG. On the other hand, in order to obtain the light distribution characteristic of the stop lamp shown in FIG. 5, the semiconductor-type light source in Example 1 has a luminance distribution indicated by a thick solid diamond in FIG. 5, that is, a broken line in FIG. About half of the luminance distribution shown in the square is sufficient. Thus, the semiconductor-type light source in Example 1 can obtain the light distribution characteristic of the stop lamp shown in FIG. 5 most efficiently.

Since the semiconductor light emitting element 40 or the vicinity thereof is arranged in a cross shape in the vertical and horizontal directions on the circle, the light distribution characteristics of the rear fog lamp shown in FIG. -10 ° to HR-10 °, VU-5 ° to VD-5 °), high luminance of 150 cd or more, and almost the same as the characteristics of the rear fog lamp having low luminance of 75 cd or more in the rhombus shape indicated by the broken line) To do. As a result, the semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10, the semiconductor-type light source unit 1, and the vehicular lamp 100 according to the first embodiment can also be used as a rear fog lamp, so that the rear fog lamp can be separately manufactured or managed. Therefore, manufacturing costs and management costs can be reduced.

  Here, the characteristics of the semiconductor-type light source in the first embodiment, that is, the light source unit 10, and the semiconductor-type light source in which five semiconductor light-emitting elements are arranged in a straight line (one semiconductor light-emitting element for a tail lamp is arranged at the center, The characteristics of a semiconductor light source in which two semiconductor light emitting elements for stop lamps are arranged on both sides will be described with reference to FIGS.

  7 and 8, in the “Chip arrangement”, □ is one semiconductor light emitting element for tail lamp, black square is four semiconductor light emitting elements for stop lamp, and the right end is in the first embodiment. This is a semiconductor light source, and the left end is a semiconductor light source arranged in a straight line. In FIG. 7, four semiconductor light emitting elements for stop lamps of each semiconductor type light source are turned on, and light emitted from the four semiconductor light emitting elements for the stop lamps is 10 m ahead through a convex lens (not shown). 2 shows an isoluminous curve when the screen is irradiated (isoluminous curve obtained by simulation). FIG. 8 shows a comprehensive evaluation of each light source. That is, the double circle is 5 points, the circle is 3 points, the triangle is 1 point, and the cross is 0 points. In each item, “Stop light distribution” is an evaluation when only the light distribution of the stop lamp is formed using an optical system dedicated to the stop lamp. “Tail light distribution” is an evaluation when only a tail lamp light distribution is formed using an optical system dedicated to the tail lamp. The “T / S common optical system” is an evaluation when the light distribution of the tail lamp and the light distribution of the stop lamp are formed using a common optical system of the tail lamp and the stop lamp. “R / Fog light distribution” is an evaluation when the light distribution of the rear fog lamp is formed using a common optical system of the tail lamp and the stop lamp. “Reliability (stress)” is an evaluation of relaxation and reduction of stress due to thermal expansion and contraction of the sealing member due to the shape of the surrounding wall member. “Total” is a total evaluation obtained by summing up the evaluation scores of each item.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the light source luminous flux of the semiconductor-type light source in the first embodiment is 30 (lm), and the light source luminous flux of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line is 30 (lm). ,Match. Further, the emitted light beam of the semiconductor light source in the first embodiment is 11.09 (lm), and the emitted light beam of the semiconductor light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line is 11.18 (lm). Almost matches. However, the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in the first embodiment is 15965 cd, and the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line is 1,3771 cd, and there is a slight difference between the two. There is. That is, the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in the first embodiment is larger than the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line, and there is a margin.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the semiconductor light source in the first embodiment uses a common optical system for the tail lamp and the stop lamp rather than the semiconductor light source in which the semiconductor light emitting elements are in a straight line. The pattern and the light distribution pattern of the stop lamp can be irradiated efficiently, and are suitable for the light distribution characteristics of the rear fog lamp. That is, in a semiconductor light source with a straight line semiconductor light emitting element, when an optical system suitable for the light distribution of a stop lamp that requires high brightness is used, the light distribution of the tail lamp is not suitable because it is almost square. On the other hand, when an optical system suitable for the light distribution of the tail lamp is used, the light distribution of the stop lamp is unnecessarily widened to the left and right, and the luminous flux at the center portion is lowered. Further, it is not suitable for the light distribution of a rear fog lamp having high brightness in the upper, lower, left and right crosses.

(Description of Embodiment 2)
9 to 11 show a semiconductor-type light source, that is, a light source unit 10A, a semiconductor-type light source unit 1A, and a vehicular lamp according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10A, the semiconductor-type light source unit 1A, and the vehicle lamp in the second embodiment will be described. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 8 denote the same components.

  In the semiconductor light source in the first embodiment, that is, the light source unit 10, the semiconductor light source unit 1, and the vehicle lamp 100, one semiconductor light emitting element 40, which is a light source of the tail lamp, is arranged at or near the center O of the substrate 3. In addition, the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are the light sources of the stop lamps are respectively arranged in a cross shape on the top, bottom, left, and right on a circle centering on one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp or its vicinity. Is. The semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10A, the semiconductor-type light source unit 1A, and the vehicle lamp in the second embodiment has one semiconductor light-emitting element 40 that is a light source of the tail lamp disposed at or near the center O of the substrate 3, and The four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44, which are the light sources of the stop lamps, are respectively arranged in the four corners of a square on a circle centering on one semiconductor light emitting element 40, which is the light source of the tail lamp, or the vicinity thereof. is there.

  The mounting pads 601 to 641 are from a plane, that is, from the top, and viewed from the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 34 of the substrate 3. This is a combination of shapes (quarter arc shape). That is, the side of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp is circular, and the side of the mounting pads 611 to 641 of the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are the light sources of the stop lamp. The side facing the side of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp is arcuate. As a result, the side of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp and the side of the mounting pads 611 to 641 of the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are the light sources of the stop lamp are For line segment 2 connecting the center of mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 as a light source and the center of mounting pads 611 to 641 of four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 as a light source of a stop lamp, respectively. , Orthogonal.

  The semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10A, the semiconductor-type light source unit 1A, and the vehicle lamp in the second embodiment are the same as the semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10, the semiconductor-type light source unit 1, and the vehicle lamp 100 in the first embodiment. Almost the same effect can be achieved.

  Here, the characteristics of the semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10A in Embodiment 2 and the characteristics of the semiconductor-type light source in which five semiconductor light-emitting elements are arranged in a straight line will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the light source luminous flux of the semiconductor-type light source in the second embodiment is 30 (lm), the light source luminous flux of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line is 30 (lm), ,Match. Further, the emitted light beam of the semiconductor-type light source in the second embodiment is 10.79 (lm), and the emitted light beam of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line is 11.18 (lm). Almost matches. However, the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in the second embodiment is 15124 cd, and the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line is 13771 cd, and there is a slight difference between the two. There is. That is, the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in the second embodiment is larger and more marginal than the maximum luminous intensity (Max) of the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting element is in a straight line.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the semiconductor-type light source according to the second embodiment uses a common optical system for the tail lamp and the stop lamp rather than the semiconductor-type light source in which the semiconductor light emitting elements are in a straight line. The pattern and the light distribution pattern of the stop lamp can be irradiated efficiently, and are suitable for the light distribution characteristics of the rear fog lamp. That is, in a semiconductor light source with a straight line semiconductor light emitting element, when an optical system suitable for the light distribution of a stop lamp that requires high brightness is used, the light distribution of the tail lamp is not suitable because it is almost square. On the other hand, when an optical system suitable for the light distribution of the tail lamp is used, the light distribution of the stop lamp is unnecessarily widened to the left and right, and the luminous flux at the center portion is lowered. Further, it is not suitable for the light distribution of a rear fog lamp having high brightness in the upper, lower, left and right crosses.

  As described above, the semiconductor-type light source in the second embodiment is slightly inferior in the comprehensive evaluation than the semiconductor-type light source in the first embodiment, but the semiconductor light-emitting element is more comprehensive in the evaluation than the semiconductor-type light source in a straight line. Are better.

The sides of the mounting pads 611 to 641 of the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 are the center of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp and the four semiconductor light emitting elements that are the light source of the stop lamp. It is orthogonal to the line segment 2 that connects the centers of the mounting pads 611 to 641 of 41 to 44 respectively. As a result, the semiconductor-type light source, that is, the light source unit 10A, the semiconductor-type light source unit 1A, and the vehicular lamp in the second embodiment is a mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light-emitting element 40 that is a light source of a tail lamp and a light source of a stop lamp.

For example, a minimum required gap of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. Thereby, the surrounding wall member 18A can be made small, and the capacity of the sealing member 180 can be made as small as possible. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the capacity of the sealing member 180.

  In the second embodiment, the side of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is a light source of a tail lamp is circular, and the mounting pads 611 of four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are light sources of a stop lamp are used. The sides of ˜641 have an arc shape (or a straight line orthogonal to the line segment 2 connecting the centers). However, in the present invention, only the side of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is the light source of the tail lamp is circular, and the mounting pads 611 of the four semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 that are the light sources of the stop lamp are formed. The sides of 641 may be minute squares or rectangles, or the sides of the mounting pad 601 of one semiconductor light emitting element 40 that is a light source of a tail lamp are minute squares or rectangles, and four light sources of a stop lamp. The sides of the mounting pads 611 to 641 of the semiconductor light emitting elements 41 to 44 may be arcuate (or a straight line orthogonal to the line segment 2 connecting the centers).

  Further, the sides of the mounting pads 601 to 641 may be straight lines orthogonal to the line segment 2 connecting the center of the mounting pad 601 and the center of the mounting pads 611 to 641.
