Abstract:
A lens (10) has an incidence surface (11) having a cylindrical shape and forming a concave shape, and an emitting surface (12) forming a convex shape with respect to an optical axis (10a). A light source (20) has a large divergence angle in a vertical direction, and a divergence angle in a horizontal direction which is smaller than that in the vertical direction. The light source (20) is located at a position of focal length of the lens (10) in the vertical direction on a side of the incidence surface. The horizontal direction of the light source (20) is aligned with a curvature direction of the cylindrical shape of the lens (10).
