Abstract

An image display device is disclosed in which electrical connection to a rotary body is reliably maintained during rotation of the rotary body and supply of power and transmission and reception of a signal are stabilized. Since transmission and reception of a signal between a communication transmitter and a communication receiver are implemented through a cavity formed in a motor, introduction of an external signal is blocked, and thus security and control stability are ensured. Even when a rotary module rotates at a high speed, damage thereto due to friction is prevented, and thus the durability thereof is ensured. Rotation of the rotary module is stabilized through structural stabilization.

The plurality of micromirrors are configured to adjust their postures between a first posture in which the light incident from the first optical part is reflected in a first direction and a second posture in which the light incident from the first optical part is reflected in a second direction.

Abstract

A lamp for a vehicle includes a first light source unit including a plurality of first light sources and for irradiating a first light that forms a first beam pattern, a second light source unit including a plurality of second light sources and for irradiating a second light that forms a second beam pattern, a first reflector including a plurality of first reflection units corresponding to the plurality of first light sources and for reflecting the first light, and a second reflector including a plurality of second reflection units corresponding to the plurality of second light sources and for reflecting the second light. In particular, the plurality of first light sources are disposed along an arc having a first curvature, and the plurality of second light sources are disposed along an arc having a second curvature, the second curvature is greater than the first curvature.

Abstract

A door handle assembly for a vehicle may include a door handle, a handle housing configured to provide an accommodation space for the door handle, a drive lever rotatably coupled to the handle housing and rotatably coupled to the door handle, and an actuator configured to transmit a driving force to the drive lever to deploy the door handle from the handle housing. In particular, the door handle is deployed from the handle housing as the drive lever is rotated with respect to the handle housing by the driving force of the actuator, and the door handle is rotated with respect to the drive lever.

Abstract

A lamp module includes a light source unit that generates light, an optical unit that forms a predetermined beam pattern by transmitting the light generated by the light source unit therethrough, and a reflection unit that reflects the light generated by the light source unit to be incident upon the optical unit. In particular, the light source unit includes a light source chip, which is spaced apart laterally from an optical axis of the optical unit, and the light source chip is disposed to allow a central line that passes through middle of both sides of a light-emitting surface formed by at least one light source to be tilted with respect to the optical axis of the optical unit by an angle that is different from an angle that a central axis of the reflection unit forms with respect to the optical axis of the optical unit.
