Abstract

A vehicle lamp is mounted on a vehicle body in which a front-rear direction of the vehicle body is a first direction. The vehicle lamp comprises a light emitting unit and an optical unit. The light emitting unit includes at least one light emitting member. The optical unit includes at least one lens having a light incident portion, a reflective portion, and a light output portion. The light incident portion is disposed corresponding to the light emitting member. The light output portion is disposed along a second direction at a slant angle relative to the first direction. The reflective portion includes a plurality of reflective faces arranged in an array. The light emitting member emits light rays which pass through the light incident portion into the lens. The reflective portion reflects the light rays to the light output portion to thereby output the light rays.
