Abstract:
A lighting device for a vehicle includes an irradiator that includes a light source mounted in the vehicle, and a shield that is provided to face an emission side of band-shaped light from the light source. The irradiator is configured to emit the band-shaped light from the light source at a predetermined irradiation angle to irradiate a road surface with the band-shaped light, and the irradiator is configured to change an irradiation direction of the band-shaped light toward the road surface. The shield is configured to shield a part of the band-shaped light such that the road surface is illuminated in a shape of a figure indicating prescribed information.
