Abstract

The present invention relates to a lighting structure. The lighting structure includes: an appearance decorative component; a light-emitting unit emitting an LED light when activated; a circuit substrate configured to provide the light-emitting unit to be configured thereon and to control the light-emitting unit; and a light guide configured to guide the LED light to propagate toward the appearance decorative component.

Claims (14)

1 . A lighting structure, comprising:

a first light-emitting unit and a second light-emitting unit emitting a first LED light and a second LED light, respectively, when activated;

a circuit substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and configured to provide the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit to be configured thereon and to individually control the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit;

a first light guide and a second light guide configured to guide the first LED light and the second LED light, respectively; and

an appearance decorative component configured above the first light guide and the second light guide, wherein

the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit are configured on the first surface and the second surface, respectively, and positioned on a same side edge of the circuit substrate,

the first light guide and the second light guide are configured on the first surface and the second surface, respectively, configured to abut the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit, respectively, and separated from each other by the circuit substrate, and

the circuit substrate further functions as a single base for supporting and mounting the first light-emitting unit, the second light-emitting unit, the first light guide and the second light guide in addition to functioning as a control circuitry for individually controlling the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit.

2 . The lighting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first light guide and the second light guide comprise a first optically reflective information structure and a second optically reflective information structure, respectively, comprising a third information and a fourth information, respectively, wherein the first optically reflective information structure and the second optically reflective information structure display the third information and the fourth information, respectively, with a luminous effect, when illuminated by the first LED light and the second LED light, respectively.

3 . The lighting structure according to claim 2 , wherein the third information and the fourth information are configured to overlap or not overlap in position when illuminated.

4 . The lighting structure according to claim 2 , wherein when only the first light-emitting unit is independently activated, only the first LED light is emitted to illuminate the first optically reflective information structure to display only the third information with a luminous effect; when only the second light-emitting unit is independently activated, only the second LED light is emitted to illuminate the second optically reflective information structure to display only the fourth information with a luminous effect.

5 . AThe lighting structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a light-transmitting touch panel module attached to one side of the appearance decorative component.

6 . The lighting structure according to claim 5 , wherein the light-transmitting touch panel module is configured below the appearance decorative component, and when a user touches the light-transmitting touch panel module, it is configured to send out a feedback signal to trigger a first response accordingly, wherein the first response comprises illuminating or de-illuminating the first optically reflective information structure and the second optically reflective information structure.
