Abstract
A headlight module includes: a light source that emits light; a projection lens that receives and emits the light; a holder including a flexible portion having a length in a direction of an optical axis of the lens and having a fixed end and a movable end, the holder holding the lens movably relative to the light source by holding the lens with the movable end; and a driver that moves the lens. The lens is translated on a plane perpendicular to the axis due to deflection of the flexible portion. The holder includes first and second flexible portions including plate-like portions parallel to the axis and perpendicular to each other. One end of the first flexible portion is the fixed end. Another end of the first flexible portion is connected to one end of the second flexible portion. Another end of the second flexible portion is the movable end.
