Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle head lamp driving apparatus and a vehicle provided with the same. The vehicle head lamp driving apparatus of the present invention comprises: a light output unit to output structured visible light to the front of a vehicle; a light receiving unit to receive reception light corresponding to the structured visible light; and a processor to calculate a distance to and a location of an object positioned in front of the vehicle, on the basis of the received reception light and structured visible light, wherein the light output unit comprises: a laser diode to output structured visible light having a first color; a light conversion unit for converting, into structured visible light having second and third colors, at least a part of the structured visible light having the first color; and a light diffusing unit for diffusing and outputting the structured visible light having the first to third colors to the front of the vehicle. Therefore, the distance to the object in front of the vehicle can be detected on the basis of visible light.
