조명장치가 구비된 운전자 에어백 모듈은 작동시 운전자의 전방으로 전개되는 운전자 에어백을 상방에서 커버링하는 에어백커버, 서로 이격되게 배치되며 빛을 발생시키는 복수 개의 램프를 포함하고, 상기 에어백커버의 하방에 위치되며, 상기 복수 개의 램프에서 발생된 빛이 상기 에어백커버의 상방으로 노출되도록 상기 에어백커버에 결합된 조명장치 및 차량의 주행 상태, 동력원의 충전 상태 또는 상기 운전자의 상태를 기반으로 조명장치의 점멸을 제어하는 조명제어기를 포함한다. A driver airbag module with a lighting device is proposed. The driver airbag module comprises an airbag cover, covering a driver airbag, configured to unfold toward a front space of a driver when the driver airbag is operated, wherein the airbag cover is located above the driver airbag. The airbag module further comprises the lighting device, wherein the lighting device comprises a plurality of lamps which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, configured to emit light, located below the airbag cover, and coupled to the airbag cover such that the light emitted from the plurality of lamps is exposed to an upper space of the airbag cover. The airbag module further comprises a lighting controller configured to control flashing of the lighting device based on a driving condition of a vehicle, a charging status of a power source, and/or a driver condition.
