Abstract

A headlamp for a vehicle, includes: a lower lamp module configured to form a first beam pattern at a front close range region of the vehicle while being fixed; and an upper lamp module including an ADB (adaptive drive beam) lamp module and a low beam lamp module, which are rotatably installed at an upper portion of the lower lamp module, respectively, and configured to form a variable second beam pattern which is combined with the first beam pattern. Therefore, stable driving visibility may be secured at a region close to a driver, various beam patterns may be implemented, light blindness to a driver of an oncoming vehicle may be prevented, and thereby forward recognition of the driver and the opposite driver may be improved.
