Light-emitting fan
A light-emitting fan includes a frame, a vane, at least one flexible circuit structures, and a plurality of light-emitting elements. The van is pivotally provided on the frame. The van has a hub and a plurality of blades connected to the hub. The flexible circuit structure is circumferentially provided on the frame. The light-emitting elements are provided on the flexible circuit structure to emit light respectively. With the above arrangement, the light-emitting elements can be combined with the frame easily via the flexible circuit structure.
1. A light-emitting fan, comprising:
a frame having a ring portion;
a vane pivotally provided on the frame, the vane having a hub and a plurality of blades connected to the hub;
at least one flexible circuit structure provided circumferentially around an inner or an outer surface of the ring portion of the frame; and
a plurality of light-emitting elements provided on the flexible circuit structure and electrically connected to the flexible circuit structure.
2. The light-emitting fan according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is made of transparent or translucent materials.
