Since the light reflected by the two side surfaces 541a and 541b of the convex portion 541 is guided more efficiently in the longitudinal direction X of the light guide 500, the light guiding efficiency can be further increased and the convexity can be increased. Abnormal light emission near the light incident part 520 that frequently occurs when the part 541 is not present can be suppressed.

That is, the direction of the normal line N1 of the incident surfaces 523 and 524 of the light incident portion 520 parallel to the one side surface 530 is different from the direction of the normal line N2 of the light output surface 550. In this embodiment, both normal lines N1 and N2 form. The angle is approximately 90 °.

- the cross section perpendicular to the major axis of the prism P is a semicircular shape with a radius R.
- the prism P is arranged so that the major axis thereof is perpendicular to the light guide direction, too much light is emitted from the prism P toward the outside of the light guide 500. In order to prevent this, it is preferable that the prism P is arranged to be inclined at an arrangement angle in the above-described range other than 90 ° to control the light output.
- the arrangement angle of the prism P is variable with respect to the longitudinal direction X.
- the prism P is arranged at an arrangement angle in which the major axis direction of the prism P is perpendicular to the light guide direction. In the vicinity of the light incident part 520, in order to reduce light leakage, As described above, the arrangement angle of the prism P is changed.
- the radius R and the depth D of the prism P are adjusted so as to be smaller than the other portions in the vicinity of the light incident portion 520. This is because the entire light guide 500 is caused to emit light uniformly by reducing the amount of light emitted in the vicinity of the light incident portion 520.
- the optical pattern 561 is formed simultaneously with the injection molding of the light guide 500, for example. Specifically, a fine optical pattern such as the optical pattern 561 can be formed by processing the molding die of the light guide 500 by blasting, laser processing, etching, or the like.

- the concave portions In the vicinity of the light incident part 520, there is a possibility that a brightness deviation occurs in the width direction Y orthogonal to the longitudinal direction X of the light guide 500. Therefore, by forming the concave portions so as to form a plurality of rows in the width direction Y of the light guide 500, light scattering is increased in the vicinity of the light incident portion 520, and the light guide 500 emits light uniformly. That is, it is possible to emit light uniformly from the light exit surface 550 of the light guide 500.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un système d'éclairage qui permet à un corps de guidage de lumière long d'émettre une lumière de manière uniforme, et qui permet de réduire la longueur des faisceaux de câbles servant à alimenter des sources de lumière. En outre, dans le système d'éclairage, l'augmentation du nombre requis de substrats à DEL est supprimée, éliminant ainsi des déficiences de coût, de traitement et de conception. Ce système d'éclairage de véhicule comprend un corps de guidage de lumière long ayant une paire de surfaces d'extrémité. Sur une surface latérale d'une partie du corps de guidage de lumière entre la paire de surfaces d'extrémité, une unité d'entrée de lumière ayant le plan d'incidence est formée d'un seul tenant avec le corps de guidage de lumière. Des sources de lumière sont disposées de façon à faire face au plan d'incidence.
