Abstract
A heat-dissipating apparatus for a vehicle lamp includes: a heat-dissipating apparatus including: an LED-mounting block having an LED mounted thereon; a thermally conductive material disposed adjacent to the LED-mounting block for transmitting heat generated by the LED; and a heat sink disposed adjacent to the thermally conductive material for dissipating the heat transmitted by the thermally conductive material, wherein at least one concave portion is formed in one side of the LED-mounting block which is adjacent to the thermally conductive material, one side of the heat sink which is adjacent to the thermally conductive material, or both. The thermally conductive material is inserted in the concave portion or portions.
