Optical unit

摘要

An optical unit includes a lens through which light emitted from a light source enters from behind and the light emits frontward as an irradiation beam. A rotation lens moves periodically, and a front part is scanned with the irradiation beam, so that a predetermined irradiated region can be formed. The rotation lens may be configured such that the lens rotates about a rotation axis connected to a drive part and such that the direction of light, which emits from the light source and is then refracted when the light passes through the lens, varies periodically.

1. An optical unit including:
a lens through which light emitted from a light source enters from behind and the light emits frontward as an irradiation beam; and a light source, wherein the lens moves periodically and a front area of the lens is scanned with the irradiation beam so as to form a predetermined irradiated region, wherein the light source is configured such that luminous intensity is varied in a partial phase range of a cycle of a lens movement, and wherein the lens is configured such that the lens rotates about a rotation axis connected to a drive part and such that a direction of light, which has emitted from the light source and is refracted when the light passes through the lens, varies periodically.
