Description

本発明は、半導体レーザ素子を備えた発光バルブ、及びこの発光バルブを備えた車両用灯具に関する。   The present invention relates to a light-emitting bulb provided with a semiconductor laser element, and a vehicular lamp provided with the light-emitting bulb.

従来、例えば車両の前照灯に用いられるLED(Light Emitting Diode)を光源としたLEDバルブが知られている(特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, for example, an LED bulb using a light emitting diode (LED) used for a vehicle headlamp as a light source is known (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献1に記載のLEDバルブは、既存のフィラメントバルブとの互換性を確保するように構成され、熱伝導性を有する材料からなる円筒状のバルブ本体と、このバルブ本体の一端部に配設され、発光面から指向性を有した光を発するパワーLED等の複数のLED発光体素子と、複数のLED発光体素子からの出射光を反射する反射部材と、反射部材をバルブ本体に連結する複数の支柱と、反射部材に設けられた第1ヒートシンクと、バルブ本体の他端部に設けられた第2ヒートシンクとを備えている。   The LED bulb described in Patent Document 1 is configured to ensure compatibility with existing filament bulbs, and is provided at a cylindrical bulb body made of a material having thermal conductivity and at one end of the bulb body. A plurality of LED light emitting elements such as power LEDs that emit light having directivity from the light emitting surface, a reflecting member that reflects light emitted from the plurality of LED light emitting elements, and the reflecting member are connected to the valve body. A plurality of support columns, a first heat sink provided on the reflecting member, and a second heat sink provided on the other end of the valve body are provided.

反射部材は、フィラメントバルブを装着可能な前照灯のソケット部にフィラメントバルブに替えてLEDバルブを装着した場合の光の出射方向がフィラメントバルブの光の出射方向と略同じになるように、LED発光体素子の発光面に向かって突出する円錐状に形成されている。複数のLED発光体素子から出射された光は、反射部材の反射面で反射し、凹状反射鏡の内面でさらに反射して車両の前方を照射する。複数のLED発光体素子で発生する熱は、支柱及び反射部材に伝導して第1ヒートシンクから放熱されると共に、バルブ本体を伝導して第2ヒートシンクから放熱される。   The reflective member is an LED so that the light emission direction when the LED bulb is attached to the socket portion of the headlamp to which the filament bulb can be attached is substantially the same as the light emission direction of the filament bulb. It is formed in a conical shape protruding toward the light emitting surface of the light emitting element. The light emitted from the plurality of LED light emitter elements is reflected by the reflecting surface of the reflecting member and further reflected by the inner surface of the concave reflecting mirror to irradiate the front of the vehicle. The heat generated in the plurality of LED light emitting elements is conducted to the support column and the reflecting member to be radiated from the first heat sink, and is conducted to the valve body to be radiated from the second heat sink.

The LED light emitting element for upward light distribution is emitted at the time of high beam irradiation that illuminates the front of the vehicle in a substantially horizontal direction far away, and the LED light emitting element for downward light distribution is emitted at the time of low beam irradiation that irradiates the lower side than at the time of high beam irradiation. The light emitted from the LED light emitting element for upward light distribution and the light emitted from the LED light emitting element for downward light distribution are reflected by different parts of the reflecting member, further reflected by the reflector of the headlamp, and radiated forward of the vehicle.

特開2011−210695号公報JP 2011-210695A

車両の前照灯は、その発光色が白色であることが定められており(「道路運送車両の保安基準」参照)、この基準に適合すべく、例えば青色の光を発するLEDの出射光と、この出射光によって励起される蛍光体が発する黄色光との混色により、白色の発光を得ることが行われている。また、紫色の光又は紫外光を発するLEDの出射光によって励起され、赤・青・緑の蛍光を発する3種の蛍光体を用いて白色の発光を得る場合もある。このような白色光を発するLEDバルブは、車両の前照灯のみならず、例えば室内の照明等にも広く用いられるようになっている。   Vehicle headlamps are stipulated to emit white light (see “Safety Standards for Road Transport Vehicles”), and in order to comply with this standard, for example, emitted light from an LED emitting blue light A white light emission is obtained by mixing with yellow light emitted from a phosphor excited by the emitted light. In some cases, white light emission may be obtained using three kinds of phosphors that are excited by light emitted from LEDs emitting purple light or ultraviolet light and emit red, blue, and green fluorescence. Such LED bulbs that emit white light are widely used not only for vehicle headlamps but also for indoor lighting, for example.

このようなLEDバルブに用いられる蛍光体は、高温状態におかれると、特性が劣化して蛍光が弱くなることがある。蛍光体の特性が劣化すると、使用開始当初は白色光を発していても、長時間の使用によって色味が変化してしまう。   When the phosphor used in such an LED bulb is placed in a high temperature state, the characteristics may deteriorate and the fluorescence may weaken. When the characteristics of the phosphor are deteriorated, even if white light is emitted at the beginning of use, the color changes due to long-term use.

特許文献1に記載のLEDバルブでは、LED発光体素子として光量の大きなパワーLEDが用いられているが、このようなパワーLEDでは、半導体発光素子と蛍光体を含む樹脂又はガラスとが近接又は接触して配置されたものが一般的である。このため、半導体発光素子が発する熱によって蛍光体が高熱となり、その特性が劣化するおそれがあった。また、ハイパワーなLEDを棒状のヒートシンクの先端に置いただけでは、その放熱性が不十分であり、半導体発光素子の発光効率が低下するとともに寿命が短くなってしまうおそれがあった。   In the LED bulb described in Patent Document 1, a power LED having a large amount of light is used as an LED light emitter element. In such a power LED, a semiconductor light emitting element and a resin or glass containing a phosphor are close to or in contact with each other. Are generally arranged. For this reason, the phosphor is heated by heat generated by the semiconductor light emitting element, and there is a possibility that the characteristics of the phosphor deteriorate. Further, if a high-power LED is simply placed at the tip of a rod-shaped heat sink, the heat dissipation property is insufficient, and the light emission efficiency of the semiconductor light emitting element may be lowered and the lifetime may be shortened.

そこで、本発明は、半導体レーザ素子を光源として備え、この半導体レーザ素子の光によって励起される蛍光体の熱による特性の劣化、及び半導体レーザ素子自身の熱による半導体レーザ素子の劣化を抑制することが可能な発光バルブ及び車両用灯具を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention includes a semiconductor laser element as a light source, and suppresses deterioration of characteristics of the phosphor excited by light of the semiconductor laser element due to heat and deterioration of the semiconductor laser element due to heat of the semiconductor laser element itself. An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting bulb and a vehicular lamp that can be used.

As the phosphor 5a, a YAG (yttrium, aluminum, garnet) -based phosphor that emits yellow fluorescence when receiving blue light can be used. In FIG. 2, the size of the phosphor 5a is exaggerated for explanation.

基台6は、例えばアルミニウム等の熱伝導性に優れた金属からなり、第1乃至第3の光源21〜23を支持する支持部61、及び支持部61から第1乃至第3の光源21〜23の熱を放熱する放熱部62を有している。本実施の形態では、支持部61及び放熱部62が一体に成形されている。   The base 6 is made of a metal having excellent thermal conductivity such as aluminum, for example, and supports the first to third light sources 21 to 23 and the support 61 to the first to third light sources 21 to 23. 23 has a heat dissipating part 62 that dissipates heat of 23. In the present embodiment, the support portion 61 and the heat radiating portion 62 are integrally formed.

支持部61の上面61aには、第1乃至第3の光源21〜23が固定され、第1乃至第3の光源21〜23の熱が支持部61に伝導するように構成されている。支持部61に伝導した熱は放熱部62を介して放熱板13に放熱される。図2に示す例では、放熱部62と放熱板13が直接接触しているが、放熱部62と放熱板13との間に熱伝導率の高い熱伝達部材を介在させてもよい。つまり、放熱部62から放熱板13に熱が伝わるように熱的に結合されていればよい。   The first to third light sources 21 to 23 are fixed to the upper surface 61 a of the support portion 61, and the heat of the first to third light sources 21 to 23 is conducted to the support portion 61. The heat conducted to the support portion 61 is radiated to the heat radiating plate 13 through the heat radiating portion 62. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the heat radiating portion 62 and the heat radiating plate 13 are in direct contact, but a heat transfer member having high thermal conductivity may be interposed between the heat radiating portion 62 and the heat radiating plate 13. That is, it is only necessary to be thermally coupled so that heat is transmitted from the heat radiating portion 62 to the heat radiating plate 13.

支持部61の底面61bからは3本の電源端子631,632,633が突出している。電源端子631は、第1及び第2の光源21,22における半導体レーザ素子のp電極に接続されている。電源端子632は、第3の光源23における半導体レーザ素子のp電極に接続されている。電源端子633は、第1乃至第3の光源21〜23における半導体レーザ素子のn電極に接続されている。これにより、電源端子631に正電圧を供給した場合には第1及び第2の光源21,22に通電され、電源端子632に正電圧を供給した場合には第3の光源23に通電される。つまり、第1乃至第3の光源21〜23は選択的に、すなわち第1及び第2の光源21,22、もしくは第3の光源23を使用者(運転者)の操作に応じて選択して通電可能である。   Three power supply terminals 631, 632, and 633 protrude from the bottom surface 61b of the support portion 61. The power supply terminal 631 is connected to the p-electrode of the semiconductor laser element in the first and second light sources 21 and 22. The power supply terminal 632 is connected to the p-electrode of the semiconductor laser element in the third light source 23. The power supply terminal 633 is connected to the n electrodes of the semiconductor laser elements in the first to third light sources 21 to 23. Thus, when a positive voltage is supplied to the power supply terminal 631, the first and second light sources 21 and 22 are energized, and when a positive voltage is supplied to the power supply terminal 632, the third light source 23 is energized. . That is, the first to third light sources 21 to 23 are selectively selected, that is, the first and second light sources 21 and 22 or the third light source 23 is selected according to the operation of the user (driver). It can be energized.

支持部材100は、第1乃至第3のレンズ31〜33の光軸に沿って配置され、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53を第1乃至第3の光源21〜23から離間させて基台6に支持している。支持部材100の基台6側の端部は、放熱部62に形成された凹部62aに嵌合して固定されている。支持部材100には、第1乃至第3の反射部材41〜43に対応して形成された開口に保持部412,422,432が嵌合し、この保持部412,422,432を介して第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53を基台6に支持している。   The support member 100 is disposed along the optical axis of the first to third lenses 31 to 33 and separates the first to third light-transmissive members 51 to 53 from the first to third light sources 21 to 23. It is made to support on the base 6. An end portion of the support member 100 on the base 6 side is fitted and fixed to a recess 62 a formed in the heat radiating portion 62. In the support member 100, holding portions 412, 422, and 432 are fitted into openings formed corresponding to the first to third reflecting members 41 to 43, and the first portions are interposed via the holding portions 412, 422, and 432. First to third translucent members 51 to 53 are supported on the base 6.

第1の光源21から出射された光は、第1のレンズ31を通過して第1の反射部材41の反射部411で第1の透光性部材51に反射される。第1の透光性部材51に入射した光の一部は蛍光体5aに当たって蛍光体5aを励起し、黄色の蛍光を発生させる。また、第1の透光性部材51に入射した光の他の一部は蛍光体5aに当たることなく第1の透光性部材51を透過する。   The light emitted from the first light source 21 passes through the first lens 31 and is reflected by the reflecting portion 411 of the first reflecting member 41 to the first translucent member 51. Part of the light incident on the first translucent member 51 strikes the phosphor 5a to excite the phosphor 5a and generate yellow fluorescence. Further, another part of the light incident on the first light transmissive member 51 passes through the first light transmissive member 51 without hitting the phosphor 5a.

同様に、第2の光源22から出射された光は、第2のレンズ32を通過して第2の反射部材42の反射部421で第2の透光性部材52に反射される。また、第3の光源23から出射された光は、第3のレンズ33を通過して第3の反射部材43の反射部431で第2の透光性部材53に反射される。   Similarly, the light emitted from the second light source 22 passes through the second lens 32 and is reflected by the second translucent member 52 by the reflecting portion 421 of the second reflecting member 42. The light emitted from the third light source 23 passes through the third lens 33 and is reflected by the second light transmissive member 53 by the reflecting portion 431 of the third reflecting member 43.

第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53は、蛍光体5aによって波長変換された黄色光、及び蛍光体5aによって波長変換されていない青色光を放射する。黄色と青色とは、互いに補色関係にあるので、黄色光と青色光の混色により、白色光が得られる。第1の透光性部材51は第1の発光部101として、第2の透光性部材52は第2の発光部102として、第3の透光性部材53は第3の発光部103として、それぞれ機能する。第1の透光性部材51と第2の透光性部材52とは、互いに反対方向に光を放射する。第3の透光性部材53は、第1の透光性部材51と第2の透光性部材52よりも支持部材100の先端側(基台6とは反対側)に配置されている。   The 1st thru | or 3rd translucent members 51-53 radiate | emit the yellow light by which the wavelength conversion was carried out by the fluorescent substance 5a, and the blue light which was not wavelength-converted by the fluorescent substance 5a. Since yellow and blue are complementary to each other, white light can be obtained by mixing yellow light and blue light. The first translucent member 51 is the first light emitting unit 101, the second translucent member 52 is the second light emitting unit 102, and the third translucent member 53 is the third light emitting unit 103. Each function. The first translucent member 51 and the second translucent member 52 emit light in directions opposite to each other. The third light transmissive member 53 is disposed on the distal end side (the side opposite to the base 6) of the support member 100 with respect to the first light transmissive member 51 and the second light transmissive member 52.

図3は、第1の反射部材41を示す斜視図である。なお、第2の反射部材42は、第1の反射部材41と同形状かつ同じ大きさであり、第3の反射部材43は、第1の反射部材41と形状が同じで第1の反射部材41よりも大きく成形されている。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the first reflecting member 41. The second reflecting member 42 has the same shape and the same size as the first reflecting member 41, and the third reflecting member 43 has the same shape as the first reflecting member 41 and the first reflecting member 41. It is formed larger than 41.

反射部411は、円弧状に湾曲し、その湾曲の内側の面が鏡面加工された反射面411aとして形成されている。本実施の形態では、反射面411aが球面状の凹部、すなわち凹面鏡として形成されている。反射部411は、この反射面411aによって保持部412に保持された第1の透光性部材51に第1の光源21の光を反射する。反射面411aで反射した光は、反射面411aの形状に応じて拡散し、図2に示すように、第1の透光性部材51の広い範囲に入射する。保持部412は、円形の開口412aを有し、この開口412aから白色光を放射する。   The reflection part 411 is curved in an arc shape, and is formed as a reflection surface 411a whose inner surface is curved. In the present embodiment, the reflecting surface 411a is formed as a spherical concave portion, that is, a concave mirror. The reflection part 411 reflects the light of the first light source 21 to the first translucent member 51 held by the holding part 412 by the reflection surface 411a. The light reflected by the reflecting surface 411a is diffused according to the shape of the reflecting surface 411a and is incident on a wide range of the first translucent member 51 as shown in FIG. The holding unit 412 has a circular opening 412a, and emits white light from the opening 412a.

蛍光反射部413は、保持部412と反射部411との間に位置し、保持部412に向かって拡開する漏斗状に形成されている。蛍光反射部413の内面は鏡面加工された蛍光反射面413aとして形成されている。蛍光反射面413aは、第1の透光性部材51から蛍光反射部413側に放射された蛍光体5aの蛍光を第1の透光性部材51側に反射する。   The fluorescent reflecting part 413 is located between the holding part 412 and the reflecting part 411 and is formed in a funnel shape that expands toward the holding part 412. The inner surface of the fluorescent reflecting part 413 is formed as a mirror-reflected fluorescent reflecting surface 413a. The fluorescent reflection surface 413a reflects the fluorescence of the phosphor 5a emitted from the first light transmissive member 51 to the fluorescent reflection portion 413 side to the first light transmissive member 51 side.

ロービーム照射時には、図略の電源から第3の光源23に通電され、第3の発光部103から白色光が放射される。第3の発光部103から放射された光は、凹面反射鏡11のロービーム用反射面11aで反射し、水平方向よりも下方を照射する。   During low beam irradiation, the third light source 23 is energized from a power supply (not shown), and white light is emitted from the third light emitting unit 103. The light emitted from the third light emitting unit 103 is reflected by the low beam reflecting surface 11a of the concave reflecting mirror 11 and irradiates below the horizontal direction.

ハイビーム照射時には、図略の電源から第1及び第2の光源21,22に通電され、第1及び第2の発光部101,102から白色光が放射される。第1及び第2の発光部101,102から放射された光は、凹面反射鏡11のハイビーム用反射面11b,11cで反射し、略水平方向を照射する。   During high beam irradiation, the first and second light sources 21 and 22 are energized from a power supply (not shown), and white light is emitted from the first and second light emitting units 101 and 102. The light radiated from the first and second light emitting units 101 and 102 is reflected by the high beam reflecting surfaces 11b and 11c of the concave reflecting mirror 11, and is irradiated in a substantially horizontal direction.

ロービーム用反射面11a及びハイビーム用反射面11bは、凹面反射鏡11における奥部110よりも鉛直方向上側の内面に形成されている。ロービーム用反射面11aには、第3の透光性部材53が対向している。ハイビーム用反射面11bには、第2の透光性部材52が対向している。ハイビーム用反射面11bは、ロービーム用反射面11aよりも凹面反射鏡11の奥部110側に形成されている。   The low-beam reflecting surface 11 a and the high-beam reflecting surface 11 b are formed on the inner surface of the concave reflecting mirror 11 on the upper side in the vertical direction from the back part 110. The third light transmissive member 53 faces the low beam reflecting surface 11a. The second light transmissive member 52 faces the high beam reflecting surface 11b. The high beam reflecting surface 11b is formed closer to the back 110 side of the concave reflecting mirror 11 than the low beam reflecting surface 11a.

図5は、従来のヘッドランプに広く用いられるハロゲンバルブ(H−4バルブ)7を示す概略図である。   FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a halogen bulb (H-4 bulb) 7 widely used in conventional headlamps.

ハロゲンバルブ7は、口金71と、中空筒状のガラス殻72と、ガラス殻72の頂部に設けられたシェード(遮光部)73と、ハイビーム用発光部としての第1フィラメント74と、ロービーム用発光部としての第2フィラメント75と、反射板76と、ステム77と、3本の電源端子78(図5には2本のみ示す)を備えている。第1フィラメント74及び第2フィラメント75は、単コイルまたは二重コイルからなり、ガラス殻72の中心軸に沿って線状に配置されている。   The halogen bulb 7 includes a base 71, a hollow cylindrical glass shell 72, a shade (light-shielding portion) 73 provided on the top of the glass shell 72, a first filament 74 as a high beam light emitting portion, and a low beam light emission. A second filament 75, a reflector 76, a stem 77, and three power terminals 78 (only two are shown in FIG. 5) are provided. The first filament 74 and the second filament 75 are made of a single coil or a double coil, and are arranged linearly along the central axis of the glass shell 72.

発光バルブ10は、凹面反射鏡11の奥部110にハロゲンバルブ7を取り付けた際に第1フィラメント74が位置する部位の近傍に第1及び第2の発光部101,102が配置されるように構成されている。つまり、凹面反射鏡11にハロゲンバルブ7を取り付けた場合には、凹面反射鏡11の奥部110からの水平方向の距離がdからdの範囲(図1参照)に第1フィラメント74の少なくとも一部が配置される。 In the light emitting bulb 10, the first and second light emitting portions 101 and 102 are arranged in the vicinity of the portion where the first filament 74 is located when the halogen bulb 7 is attached to the back portion 110 of the concave reflecting mirror 11.

At least a portion is arranged.

このように発光バルブ10が構成されていることにより、凹面反射鏡11としては、ハロゲンバルブ7を適用することを前提に設計された既存構成のものを用いることができる。   Since the light emitting bulb 10 is configured as described above, an existing configuration designed on the assumption that the halogen bulb 7 is applied can be used as the concave reflecting mirror 11.

(第1の実施の形態の作用及び効果)
本実施の形態によれば、以下に示す作用及び効果が得られる。
(Operation and effect of the first embodiment)
According to the present embodiment, the following operations and effects can be obtained.

(1)第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53は、支持部材100によって第1乃至第3の光源21〜23から離間して支持されているので、光源21〜23で発生した熱が第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53に伝わりにくい。これにより、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53の温度上昇が抑制され、蛍光体5aにおける熱による特性の劣化(変換効率の低下)が抑えられる。また、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53と基台6とを離間させることにより、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53を凹面反射鏡11内の適切な位置(ハロゲンバルブ7を取り付けた場合の第1フィラメント74及び第2フィラメント75に対応する位置)に配置しながら、第1乃至第3の光源21〜23を放熱板13に近い位置に配置することができ、基台6による放熱を効率的に行うことができる。 (1) Since the 1st thru | or 3rd translucent members 51-53 are spaced apart and supported from the 1st thru | or 3rd light sources 21-23 by the supporting member 100, the heat | fever which generate | occur | produced with the light sources 21-23 Is difficult to be transmitted to the first to third translucent members 51 to 53. Thereby, the temperature rise of the 1st thru | or 3rd translucent members 51-53 is suppressed, and characteristic deterioration (decrease in conversion efficiency) by the heat | fever in the fluorescent substance 5a is suppressed. Moreover, the 1st thru | or 3rd translucent member 51-53 and the base 6 are spaced apart, and the 1st thru | or 3rd translucent member 51-53 is set in the appropriate position (in the concave reflective mirror 11 ( 1st thru | or 3rd light sources 21-23 can be arrange | positioned in the position close | similar to the heat sink 13, arrange | positioning in the position corresponding to the 1st filament 74 and the 2nd filament 75 when the halogen bulb 7 is attached. The heat dissipation by the base 6 can be performed efficiently.

(2)第1乃至第3の反射部材41〜43は、支持部材100に沿った方向の光を反射して第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53側に向けるので、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53は支持部材100の中心軸に対して交差する方向に光を放射する。これにより、第1乃至第3の発光部101〜103の光を凹面反射鏡11に適切に当てることができ、反射面11a〜11cの形状に応じた配光で車両前方を照射することができる。 (2) The first to third reflecting members 41 to 43 reflect the light in the direction along the support member 100 and direct it toward the first to third translucent members 51 to 53 side. The third translucent members 51 to 53 emit light in a direction intersecting with the central axis of the support member 100. Thereby, the light of the 1st thru | or 3rd light emission parts 101-103 can be appropriately applied to the concave reflective mirror 11, and the vehicle front can be irradiated by the light distribution according to the shape of the reflective surfaces 11a-11c. .

(3)第1乃至第3の反射部材41〜43は、漏斗状の蛍光反射部413,423,433を有しているので、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53の内方(支持部材100の中心側)に放射された蛍光を反射して外方に向かわせることができる。これにより、光取り出し効率が向上する。 (3) Since the 1st thru | or 3rd reflection members 41-43 have the funnel-shaped fluorescence reflection part 413,423,433, the inside of the 1st thru | or 3rd translucent members 51-53 It is possible to reflect the fluorescent light radiated (on the center side of the support member 100) and to go outward. Thereby, the light extraction efficiency is improved.

(4)第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53は、凹面反射鏡11の奥部110にハロゲンバルブ7を取り付けた際に第1フィラメント74及び第2フィラメント75が位置する部位に対応して配置されるので、凹面反射鏡11としてハロゲンバルブ7を適用することを前提に設計された既存構成のものを用いることが可能となる。 (4) The 1st thru | or 3rd translucent members 51-53 respond | correspond to the site | part in which the 1st filament 74 and the 2nd filament 75 are located, when the halogen bulb 7 is attached to the back part 110 of the concave reflecting mirror 11. Therefore, it is possible to use an existing configuration designed on the assumption that the halogen bulb 7 is applied as the concave reflecting mirror 11.

(5)反射部411,421,431は円弧状に湾曲して形成されているので、反射部411,421,431で反射した光は、拡散されて第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53に入射する。これにより、第1乃至第3の透光性部材51〜53における一部の蛍光体5aが集中的に励起されることなく、広い範囲の蛍光体5aが励起されるため、高温によって蛍光体5aの蛍光が弱くなる温度消光現象の発生をより抑制することができる。 (5) Since the reflecting portions 411, 421, and 431 are formed in an arcuate shape, the light reflected by the reflecting portions 411, 421, and 431 is diffused and the first to third translucent members 51 are diffused. Incident on .about.53. Thereby, a part of the phosphors 5a in the first to third translucent members 51 to 53 is not excited intensively, but a wide range of phosphors 5a is excited. It is possible to further suppress the occurrence of a temperature quenching phenomenon in which the fluorescence of the light becomes weak.

For example, in the above embodiment, the first to third light sources 21 to 23 are laser diodes that emit blue light, but may be laser diodes that emit purple light or ultraviolet light. In this case, white light emission is obtained by using three kinds of phosphors that are excited by light emitted from a laser diode that emits purple light or ultraviolet light and emits red, blue, and green fluorescence.

また、上記実施の形態では、複数の光源から出射された光の配光角を絞るために複数のレンズ(第1乃至第3のレンズ31〜33)を設けたが、1つのレンズによってこの機能を実現しても良い。   In the above embodiment, a plurality of lenses (first to third lenses 31 to 33) are provided to narrow the light distribution angle of light emitted from a plurality of light sources. May be realized.

また、上記実施の形態では、発光バルブ10が第1乃至第3の発光部101〜103を備える場合について説明したが、黄色光を発するフォグランプ(霧灯)としての第4の発光部をさらに備えてもよい。この場合、第4の発光部における透光性部材の蛍光体5aの含有量を高めることで、黄色光を放射することができる。また、例えば第1の光源21への通電電流をPWM(Pulse Width Modulation)制御し、その照度を低くすることで、第1の発光部101をスモールランプ(車幅灯)として用いることも可能である。   Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the light emitting bulb 10 includes the first to third light emitting units 101 to 103 has been described. However, the light emitting bulb 10 further includes a fourth light emitting unit as a fog lamp that emits yellow light. May be. In this case, yellow light can be emitted by increasing the content of the phosphor 5a of the translucent member in the fourth light emitting unit. Further, for example, the first light emitting unit 101 can be used as a small lamp (vehicle width lamp) by controlling the energization current to the first light source 21 by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and reducing the illuminance thereof. is there.
