Abstract

An electronic device includes a reflective element, a light guide plate and a light source. The light guide plate is arranged on the reflective element, and has a first surface, a second surface and a side surface connected between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the first surface is disposed between the reflective element and the second surface. The light source is adjacent to the side surface of the light guide plate. When light emitted from the light source passes through the light guide plate, a light shape diagram is emitted from the second surface. Wherein, the light shape diagram has an inclination angle and an orientation angle ranging from 0 to 360 degrees. Wherein, in a position far away from the light source is defined as the orientation angle of 90 degrees, and a direction parallel to the normal of the first surface is defined as the inclination angle of 0 degrees, and wherein, when the orientation angle is 90 degrees and the inclination angle is smaller than 40 degrees, a corresponding brightness is greater than 50% of a maximum brightness in the brightness distribution.

Claims (13)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

a reflective element;

a light guide plate disposed on the reflective element, and provided with a first surface, a second surface and a side surface connected between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the first surface is disposed between the reflective element and the second surface; and

a light source disposed adjacent to the side surface of the light guide plate,

wherein, when light emitted from the light source passes through the light guide plate, a light shape pattern is emitted from the second surface,

wherein the light shape pattern has an inclination angle and an orientation angle ranging from 0 to 360 degrees;

wherein in a position far away from the light source is defined as the orientation angle of 90 degrees, and a direction parallel to a normal direction of the first surface is defined as the inclination angle of 0 degrees, and wherein, when the orientation angle is 90 degrees and the inclination angle is smaller than 40 degrees, a corresponding brightness is less than 50% of a maximum brightness in the light shape pattern.

2 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a protective layer disposed on the second surface, wherein the second surface of the light guide plate has a plurality of dots, and the protective layer contacts the plurality of dots.

3 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a touch layer disposed on the light guide plate.

4 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising an optical layer disposed on the protective layer.

5 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a first adhesive layer disposed between the light guide plate and the reflective element.

6 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a second adhesive layer disposed between the light guide plate and the touch layer.

7 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a third adhesive layer disposed between the touch layer and a protective layer.
