    摘要: A vehicle lighting device is provided which improves overlooking of pedestrians by a driver even under adverse conditions such as nighttime and rainy weather. A vehicle lighting device includes: a low-beam irradiation part that illuminates a lower irradiation region ahead and below a vehicle: a pattern irradiation part that irradiates irradiation light on a lateral irradiation region on a side of the travel path of the vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which bright regions and dark regions are alternately repeated; an environmental information acquisition device which acquires information related to the moisture environment around the vehicle; and a controller which changes the irradiation mode of the low-beam irradiation part and/or pattern irradiation part based on information acquired by the environmental information acquisition device. In one mode, the controller dims irradiation light in the low-beam irradiation part, and brightens irradiation light in the pattern irradiation part when rainy weather at night.

    摘要: A vehicle headlight device capable of improving overlooking of pedestrians by a driver. The device includes: a left-side photoirradiator (left-side pattern irradiation lamp) which irradiates light on a left-side light distribution region (irradiation pattern light distribution region) on a left side of a travel roadway of a vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which a bright region a1 and a dark region are alternately repeated; and a right-side photoirradiator (right-side pattern irradiation lamp) which irradiates light on a right-side light distribution region (irradiation pattern light distribution region) on a right side of a travel roadway of the vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which a bright region a1 and a dark region are alternately repeated. In this embodiment, the left-side photoirradiator (left-side pattern irradiation lamp) is illuminated during left turn of the vehicle, and the right-side photoirradiator (right-side pattern irradiation lamp) is illuminated during right turn of the vehicle.

    摘要: A method for producing a half mirror includes forming a reflection region by which light is reflected and a transmission region through which the light is transmitted on a surface of a transparent plate Only the reflection region is coated with a plating. The coating includes a masking step of coating a position of the transparent plate corresponding to the transmission region with a masking material, a plating step of coating the entire surface which includes the transmission region which has been coated with the masking material and the reflection region with the plating, a plating removing step of removing the plating to a depth in which the masking material is exposed after the plating step, and a masking material removing step of removing the masking material after the plating removing step.

    摘要: A notification device in a vehicle enables a person outside the vehicle to be notified of a predetermined operating state of the vehicle by the light emission, and includes: a plurality of spot-shaped light sources arranged at intervals to follow an upper edge of a windshield; a reflecting part reflecting light from the light sources to a front; an outer lens transmitting therethrough the light heading toward the front from the reflecting part; and a housing. The outer lens has on at least one of front and rear faces thereof a fine concave-convex face diffusing the light transmitted through the outer lens. Accordingly, the device is visible through an upper part of the windshield from a person outside the vehicle so that visibility is very good, and the light from the relatively small spot-shaped light source can be sufficiently diffused so that visibility can be further enhanced.
