Abstract

A light-emitting device for increasing light-emitting efficiency by destroying total reflection includes a substrate unit, a light-emitting unit, a strip light-guiding unit and a cover unit. The light-emitting unit has a plurality of light-emitting modules disposed on the substrate unit. The strip light-guiding unit has a plurality of strip light-guiding elements corresponding to the light-emitting modules and a plurality of strip reflective elements respectively disposed on the strip light-guiding elements. Each strip light-guiding element has a light-inputting surface facing each light-emitting module, a reflective surface and a light-outputting surface, each strip reflective element is disposed on the reflective surface of each strip light-guiding element, and the light-outputting surface is a rough surface for destroying total reflection. The cover unit has a light-permitting cover coupled with the substrate unit for selectively covering the light-emitting unit and the strip light-guiding unit.
