August 22, 2012
A vehicle lamp (10A, 10B, 10C, 10D) includes a light guide member (20, 120), and at least one light source (31, 33). The light guide member (20, 120) includes a light entrance portion (21a, 23a, 121a, 123a) from which light from the at least one light source (31, 33) enters the light guide member (20, 120), a first light guide (21,121) having first internally reflecting steps (25) configured to internally reflect a first part (L21, L121) of the light, and a first light exit portion (21b, 121b) from which the first part (L21, L121) of the light is output from the first light guide (21, 121), and a second light guide (23, 123) having second internally reflecting steps (26) configured to internally reflect a second part (L23, L123) of the light, and a second light exit portion (23b, 123b) from which the second part (L23, L123) of the light is output from the second light guide (23, 123). The first and second light guides (21, 23, 121, 123) extend such that a gap (22) is provided between the first and second light guides (21, 23, 121, 123). The light guide member (20, 120) is formed as a single unitary piece. The first and second light guides (21, 23, 121, 123) are configured and arranged such that the first light guide (21, 121) does not interfere with the second part (L23, L123) of the light that has been output from the second light exit portion (23b, 123b), and such that the second light guide (23, 123) does not interfere with the first part (L21, L121) of the light that has been output from the first light exit portion (21b, 121b).
