Lamp apparatus for automobile
A lamp apparatus for an automobile, including: a light source generating light; and a first lens distributing the light to the outside and including a first cavity therein, and the first lens includes a light spreading unit of which one side is convex toward the light source and the other side opposite the one side is flat, and a side portion connected with the one side of the light spreading unit and having a diameter which increases in a first direction away from the light source.
1. A lamp apparatus for an automobile, the apparatus comprising:
a light source configured to generate light; and
a first lens configured to distribute the light to the outside and comprising a first cavity therein,
a second lens configured to distribute the light to the outside and comprising a second cavity therein while contacting the first lens,
wherein:
the first lens comprises:
a light spreading unit of which one side is convex toward the light source and the opposing side is flat; and
a side portion connected with the one side of the light spreading unit and having a diameter which increases in a first direction away from the light source;
the light spreading unit comprises:
a curved portion which is convex toward the light source;
a first inner surface adjacent to the curved portion and extending toward the light source; and
a first inner bottom surface which is flat and opposes the curved portion;
a diameter of an outer circumference of a base of the curved portion defined between the curved portion and the first inner surface is less than a diameter of the first inner bottom surface; and
a length from the first inner bottom surface to the outer circumference of the base of the curved portion is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 2.5 mm.
2. The lamp apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the side portion comprises:
an outer surface which is formed to form a predetermined angle with the first inner surface at one side of the first inner surface; and
a second inner surface extending on the outer circumference of the first inner bottom surface and forming a predetermined angle with the first inner bottom surface.
3. The lamp apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the angle between the first inner bottom surface and the second inner surface is greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 180°.
4. The lamp apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second lens is formed to have a slope with the first direction.
5. The lamp apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the slope is greater than or equal to 45° and less than or equal to 90°.
6. The lamp apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a light-emitting diode.
7. The lamp apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first lens is made of an epoxy resin, a silicon resin, or an urethane resin.
8. The lamp apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a fluorescent substance configured to vary a color of light.
9. The lamp apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second lens is made of an epoxy resin, the silicon resin, or the urethane resin.
