Projector lamp unit for vehicle

There are included a vehicle behavior estimating unit () that estimates behavior of a vehicle (); pattern illuminating units (to) that illuminate a projection pattern onto ground around the vehicle (); and an illumination control unit (). The illumination control unit () controls the pattern illuminating units (to) to illuminate a projection pattern, on the basis of the behavior of the vehicle () estimated by the vehicle behavior estimating unit ().

Presentation device

When information regarding a situation inside and outside a vehicle is determined to match a display change condition, a control unit () changes a display mode of information displayed outside the vehicle by controlling a projector device () or a body light device ().

Irradiation apparatus and irradiation method

A second light device () starts emission of a light pattern B after a first light device () has started emission of a light pattern A. Elements included in the light pattern B and an element included in the light pattern A are arranged on the same straight line.
