ABSTRACT:
A vehicle headlamp is provided with: a projection lens; a light source; a reflector for reflecting light, which has been directly emitted by the light source, to a front side along an optical axis; and a shade arranged between the projection lens and the reflector, for shading a part of light reflected by the reflector24. A bright and dark boundary forming portion capable of forming a cutoff line of a light distribution pattern is formed at an upper edge portion of the shade. In a neighborhood of the bright and dark boundary forming portion on a front face of the shade, a low reflecting region is provided. A reflectance of the low reflecting region is lower than a reflectance of a high reflecting region. A reflectance of the high reflecting region is higher than a reflectance of a rear face of the shade.
