Abstract

A projector type headlight can include a projection lens arranged on an optical axis extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and a light source unit arranged on a more rear side than a back side focal plane of the projection lens, the projection lens including resin lenses which are arranged on the optical axis. A resin lens out of the resin lenses arranged closer to the light source unit includes a diffraction grating provided on a lens face in a side opposite to a light source, the resin lens out of the resin lenses arranged closer to the light source unit has a lens face having a positive power, which is arranged in a light source side, and the diffraction grating is designed so as to cancel chromatic aberration of light emitted from the light source unit and emitted forward through the resin lenses.
