Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a vehicle lamp including a light source module. The light source module includes a light source configured to generate and emit light and a microlens array module provided in front of the light source and configured such that light enters the microlens array module. The microlens array module includes an incident lens array configured such that the light enters the incident lens array and including a plurality of incident lenses and an exit lens array provided in front of the incident lens array, configured to receive the light that has entered the incident lens array and emit the light outward, and including a plurality of exit lenses. The exit lens array is configured such that heights of the exit lenses are different in a top-bottom direction of a vehicle.
