Therefore, there is a need for improvement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle lamp which is compact and easy to manufacture.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a light source device comprising: a light source for emitting light; A reflector for forwardly reflecting the light emitted from the light source; And a light guide inserted in the reflector, the light guide being formed with concave and convex portions to guide the light emitted from the light source forward.

Further, the reflector of the present invention is provided with an insertion groove portion to which the light source is coupled.

In the light guide of the present invention, an optical sheet is provided on a surface facing the concavo-convex portion.

Further, the present invention provides a lamp for a vehicle, wherein a bezel is provided to closely contact the optical sheet with the light guide.

The lamp for a vehicle according to the present invention is provided with a light guide for guiding light emitted from a light source forward and an LED for emitting heat backward is used as a light source so that a separate space is not required inside the lamp, There is an advantage that moisture can be prevented from being generated in the internal space.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a vehicle lamp according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this process, the thicknesses of the lines and the sizes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation.

In addition, the terms described below are terms defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user, the operator.

Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view illustrating a vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross- FIG. 4 is a state diagram showing a vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

1 to 4, a vehicle lamp 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light source 20 that emits light, a reflector 30 that reflects light emitted from the light source 20 forward, And a light guide 40 which is inserted into the reflector 30 and is provided with a recessed portion 42 to guide the light emitted from the light source 20 forward.

When the light is irradiated from the light source 20, light incident into the light guide 40 constituting the light guide plate is totally reflected in the light guide 40 to perform surface light emission. The light is irregularly reflected by the portion 42 and irradiated outside the light guide 40.

Since the reflector 30 is formed in a container shape surrounding the back surface and the circumferential surface of the light guide 40, light reflected by the irregular portion 42 is reflected toward the front of the light guide 40 by the reflector 30.

Since the reflector 30 is provided with the insertion groove 32 to which the light source 20 is coupled, a plurality of light sources 20 can be installed on the circumference of the reflector 30, and an LED is provided as the light source 20 A separate space for installing the light source 20 is not required and the light source 20 and the light guide 40 can be disposed in close contact with each other.

The reflector 30 of the lamp 100 for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed into a container shape in which the light guide 40 is inserted in close contact with the reflector 30, There is an effect that the design of the reflector 30 can be easily performed.

In addition, since the LED used as the light source 20 can have a structure in which heat is discharged to the back surface, a space due to a heat resistance problem is not required, and the heat radiating fins and the heat radiating fan installed on the LED back surface It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The light guide 40 is provided with the optical sheet 50 on the surface opposed to the concave and convex portion 42 so that the light radiated forward by the concave and convex portion 42 and the reflector 30 is directed forward Since this optical sheet 50 can be readily practiced by those skilled in the art, a detailed description of the operation of the optical sheet 50 will be omitted.

As described above, the technical structure comprising the reflector 30, the light source 20, the light guide 40, and the optical sheet 50 is provided inside the housing 10, and the optical sheet 50 is placed on the light guide 40, Since the bezel 60 is installed in the housing 10, no gap is generated between the members.

Therefore, since a space is not formed more than necessary in the inside of the lamp, it is possible to reduce the size of the lamp and to prevent moisture from being generated inside the lamp.

A lens 70 is disposed in front of the housing 10 and a power supply unit 80 for supplying power to the light source 20 is provided on the back surface of the housing 10.

The vehicle lamp 100 configured as described above may be installed in the headlamp module of the vehicle to be used as a DRL (Daytime Running Lamp), or may be used as a DRL 200 installed on a bumper side of a vehicle in another embodiment .
