Abstract

An illumination device includes the following features. A substrate is located in a shell and stands next to a light outlet of the shell. A plurality of first light sources and second light sources are disposed side by side on the substrate, respectively arranged along a direction on the substrate, and adapted to respectively generate first light beams and second light beams. The second light sources are located between the first light sources and the light outlet. A reflective element is located in the shell and has a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface facing the light outlet. The first reflective surface is located on a side of the substrate far away from the light outlet, and the second reflective surface and the substrate are respectively located on two opposite side edges of the first reflective surface. The second reflective surface is inclined to the first reflective surface.

Claims (19)

a plurality of first light sources, arranged on the substrate along a direction and adapted to generate a first light beam;

a plurality of second light sources, arranged on the substrate along the direction, wherein the second light sources and the first light sources are arranged side by side on the substrate, the second light sources are located between the first light sources and the light outlet, and the second light sources are adapted to generate a second light beam; and

a reflective element, located in the shell and having a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface, wherein the first reflective surface is located on a side of the substrate opposite to the light outlet, the second reflective surface and the substrate are respectively located on two opposite side edges of the first reflective surface, the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface face the light outlet, the second reflective surface is inclined relative to the first reflective surface, the first light sources and the second light sources are together located in an accommodation space formed by the substrate and the reflective element, the first reflective surface is adapted to reflect a chief ray of the first light beam to the light outlet, and the second reflective surface is adapted to reflect a chief ray of the second light beam to the light outlet;

wherein a shortest distance between the first light source and the light outlet is greater than a shortest distance between the second light source and the light outlet;

wherein each of the first light sources has a top surface facing away from the substrate, and the first reflective surface overlaps each of the first light sources in a normal direction of each of the top surfaces of the first light sources;

wherein each of the second light sources has a top surface facing away from the substrate, and the second reflective surface totally overlaps each of the second light sources in a normal direction of each of the top surfaces of the second light sources.

2 . The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a first side and a second side, the first side is opposite to the second side, the second side is fixed next to the light outlet, the first light sources and the second light sources are located between the first side and the second side, and an angle between the direction and a side edge of the second side is 0° to 10°.
