Abstract
A headlamp includes a light-emitting module that includes a condenser lens that defines an optical axis through a center of the condenser lens and that is configured to focus light incident on a rear surface of the condenser lens. The light-emitting module further includes a laser light source that is located behind the condenser lens and that is configured to generate light toward the condenser lens. The light-emitting module further includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) scanner that is located in front of the condenser lens, that is configured to reflect, toward the condenser lens, light generated by the laser light source, and that is configured to scan light generated by the laser light source by moving horizontally and vertically. The light-emitting module further includes a reflection unit that is located behind the condenser lens and that is configured to reflect light reflected by the MEMS scanner.
