- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and an appropriate combination of the elements of this embodiment is also effective as an embodiment of the present invention.
- Various modifications such as various design changes can be added to the present embodiment based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, and the embodiments with such modifications can be included in the scope of the present invention.
- Here are some examples.
- the vehicle headlamp 10 forms a so-called high beam light distribution pattern instead of a low beam light distribution pattern.
- each of the plurality of light emitting devices 24 is used to form a divided light distribution pattern that is a different part of the high beam light distribution pattern.
- the vehicle is provided with a lighting control unit that controls lighting of each of the light emitting devices 24.
- the lighting control unit includes a CPU that executes various calculations, a ROM that stores various control programs, and a RAM that is used as a work area for data storage and program execution.
- the lighting control unit obtains image data captured by, for example, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera, analyzes this to determine the presence / absence of a forward vehicle, and if present, specifies its position.
- the lighting control unit gives a control signal to the light emitting device 24 so that the light emitting device 24 that forms the divided light distribution pattern including the position where the vehicle ahead is present is turned off.
- the light emitting device 24 stops the power supply to the light emitting module 26 and turns off the light emitting device 24.
- the control circuit unit 106 is provided for each of the light emitting modules 26 like the light emitting device 24, the lighting control of the light emitting modules 26 can be executed smoothly.
- the present invention can be used for a vehicle headlamp, and in particular, can be used for a vehicle headlamp including a light emitting module and a light emitting device having a control circuit unit for controlling the lighting of the light emitting module.
