Abstract

The present invention discloses a light emitting device. The light emitting device includes a housing, a first light emitting module and a second light emitting module. The first light emitting module is provided with a first light emitting area and is disposed on the housing. The second light emitting module is provided with a second light emitting area and is disposed on the housing and surrounds the first light emitting module. A first luminance in the first light emitting area is higher than a second luminance in the second light emitting area, and the first luminance and the second luminance are separately controlled.

Claims (31)

1. A light emitting device, comprises:

a housing;

a first light emitting module provided with a first light emitting area and disposed on the housing; and

a second light emitting module provided with a second light emitting area, wherein the second light emitting module is disposed on the housing and surrounds the first light emitting module;

wherein a first luminance of the first light emitting area is higher than a second luminance of the second light emitting area, and the first luminance and the second luminance are separately controlled;

wherein the second light emitting module annularly surrounds the first light emitting module in a closed manner; and

wherein the second light emitting module continuously surrounds the first light emitting module.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first light emitting module comprises:

a first light guide element provided with the first light emitting area and a first light incident area; and

a first light emitting element disposed adjacent to the first light incident area.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein the first light emitting module is disposed corresponding to the first light incident area and comprises a base provided with a groove, in which the first light guide element is disposed.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second light emitting module comprises:

a second light guide element provided with the second light emitting area and a second light incident area; and

a second light emitting element disposed adjacent to the second light incident area;

wherein the second light guide element is provided with a recess in which the second light emitting element is disposed.

5. The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the second light guide element comprises a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion, the second light incident area is located on the first portion, and the second light emitting area is located on the second portion.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second light guide element comprises a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, the second portion connects the first portion and the third portion, and the third portion is disposed on the housing.

7. The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the second light guide element is provided with a light output surface and a bottom surface opposite to the light output surface, and the second light emitting module further comprises:

a first reflective layer disposed on the bottom surface.

8. The light emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the second light emitting module further comprises a second reflective layer and a third reflective layer respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the first portion.

9. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device further comprises:

a light blocking element interposed between the first light emitting module and the second light emitting module and opposite to a light emitting surface of the second light emitting element.

10. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first light emitting area and the second light emitting area are respectively provided with a first width and a second width along a direction, and the ratio of the second width to the first width is in a range of 0.08 to 0.35.

11. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein an angle in a range of 120° to 180° is formed between the first light emitting area and the second light emitting area.

12. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second light emitting module further comprises:

a plurality of second light emitting elements surrounding the first light emitting module.

13. The light emitting device according to claim 12 , wherein one or some of the second light emitting elements and another or some other of the second light emitting elements are separately controlled.

14. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the color temperature of the first light emitting module and the color temperature of the second light emitting module are separately controlled.

15. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device further comprises:

an ambient sensor configured to sense an ambient information; and

a controller configured to adjust the light emitting mode in which the first light emitting area emits a light and the light emitting mode in which the second light emitting area emits a light according to the ambient information.
