First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An automobile lamp having a floating lighting image, comprising: a light pattern which is configured by an assembly of light sources; a lens which is provided with an interval from the light pattern; and an image object which is provided between the light pattern and the lens. 2. The optical structure of claim 1 , wherein the light source is an LED. 3. The optical structure of claim 1 , wherein the light pattern, the image object, and the lens are arranged in one line. 4. The optical structure of claim 1 , wherein the light pattern and the image object are disposed so as to be perpendicular to the lens and a concave mirror is provided at a point between the image object and the lens where perpendicular arrangement lines formed by the image object and the lens meet. 5. The optical structure of claim 1 , wherein the lens is configured by a single lens. 6. The optical structure of claim 1 , wherein the lens is configured by arranging a plurality of lenses in one line with an interval. 7. The optical structure of claim 1 , wherein the lens is a diffractive optical element lens or a Fresnel lens.
