Abstract

A microphone having a light-emitting structure includes a housing, a main body, and multiple light-emitting structures. The main body is disposed in the housing. The light-emitting structures are disposed between the housing and the main body and fixed on the main body. Each of the light-emitting structures includes a light-emitting module and a light guide structure. The light-emitting module includes a circuit board and multiple light-emitting elements, and the light-emitting elements are disposed on the circuit board. The light guide structure includes a groove and a light guide part. The groove covers the light-emitting module. The light guide part is mountain-shaped and extends from the groove toward the housing.

Claims (16)

1. A microphone having at least one light-emitting structure, comprising:

a housing;

a main body, disposed in the housing; and

the plurality of light-emitting structures, disposed between the housing and the main body and fixed on the main body, wherein each of the light-emitting structures also comprises:

a light-emitting module, having a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting elements, and the light-emitting elements are disposed on the circuit board; and

a light guide structure, having a groove and a light guide part, wherein the groove covers the light-emitting module, and the light guide part is mountain-shaped and extends from the groove toward the housing.

2. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the light guide part has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface extend from the groove toward the housing and are connected to each other.

3. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has a mesh structure.

4. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 3 , wherein the mesh structure has a plurality of holes, and the holes are circular.

5. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 further comprising a foam structure, disposed between the housing and the light-emitting structures.

6. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 5 , wherein the foam structure is translucent.

7. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the light guide structure comprises polycarbonate, light diffusing agent, and titanium dioxide.

8. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 7 , wherein 1150 to 1350 grams of the light diffusing agent and 200 to 300 grams of the titanium dioxide are added for every 25 kilograms of the polycarbonate.

9. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the light guide structure is translucent.

10. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 , wherein one of the light-emitting structures overlaps light emitted by the adjacent light-emitting structures.

11. The microphone having the light-emitting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the light guide structure is integrally formed.
