Abstract
A lighting device for a vehicle includes a light source that illuminates light, a reflecting surface, a shading member, and a projecting lens. The reflecting surface reflects the light illuminated from the light source and causes the light to converge. The shading member includes an aperture portion at which the light reflected and caused to converge by the reflecting surface is incident. Light that has passed through the aperture portion of the shading member is incident on the projecting lens, and the projecting lens emits the light toward a target.
