Abstract

A light-emitting mirror includes a light-transmitting plate, a frame and a light source module. The light-transmitting plate has a front side, a back side and a sidewall, the sidewall connects the front side and the back. The light-transmitting plate includes a light-transmitting portion and a light-reflecting portion, the light-transmitting portion is adjacent to the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate. An opaque layer is arranged on a back surface of the light-reflecting portion, allowing a front surface of the light-reflecting portion to be served as a mirror surface. The frame includes a mounting part, which is arranged on the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate. The light source module is configured to provide a light source, arranged between the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate and the mounting portion. The light source module emits light to the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate, allowing the light to illuminate the light-transmitting portion.

Claims (26)

1. A light-emitting mirror, comprising:

a light-transmitting plate, comprising a front side, a back side, and a sidewall, wherein the front side is opposite to the back side, the sidewall connects the front side and the back side, the light-transmitting plate comprises a light-transmitting portion and a light-reflecting portion, the light-transmitting portion is adjacent to the sidewall and configured to transmit light, and a back surface of the light-reflecting portion is arranged with an opaque layer to allow a front surface of the light-reflecting portion to serve as a mirror surface;

a frame, comprising a mounting part arranged on the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate; and

a light source module, configured to provide a light source, arranged between the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate and the mounting part, wherein the light source module is configured to emit a light beam onto the sidewall of the light-transmitting plate to allow the light beam to enter the light-transmitting plate and illuminate the light-transmitting portion.

2. The light-emitting mirror of claim 1 , further comprising an optical reflector, wherein the optical reflector is arranged on a back surface of the light-transmitting portion and configured to reflect light.

3. The light-emitting mirror of claim 2 , wherein the back surface of the light-transmitting portion is frosted.

4. The light-emitting mirror of claim 2 , wherein the optical reflector is arranged on the back surfaces of the light-transmitting portion and the light-reflecting portion.

5. The light-emitting mirror of claim 2 , wherein the optical reflector is an optical reflective ink layer.

6. The light-emitting mirror of claim 1 , wherein the light source module is fixedly mounted on the mounting part.

7. The light-emitting mirror of claim 1 , wherein the frame further comprises a first light-blocking part connected to the mounting part, and the first light-blocking part is arranged on the front side of the light-transmitting plate to block light.

8. The light-emitting mirror of claim 2 , wherein the frame further comprises a first light-blocking part connected to the mounting part, and the first light-blocking part is arranged on the front side of the light-transmitting plate to block light.

9. The light-emitting mirror of claim 3 , wherein the frame further comprises a first light-blocking part connected to the mounting part, and the first light-blocking part is arranged on the front side of the light-transmitting plate to block light.

10. The light-emitting mirror of claim 4 , wherein the frame further comprises a first light-blocking part connected to the mounting part, and the first light-blocking part is arranged on the front side of the light-transmitting plate to block light.

11. The light-emitting mirror of claim 5 , wherein the frame further comprises a first light-blocking part connected to the mounting part, and the first light-blocking part is arranged on the front side of the light-transmitting plate to block light.

12. The light-emitting mirror of claim 6 , wherein the frame further comprises a first light-blocking part connected to the mounting part, and the first light-blocking part is arranged on the front side of the light-transmitting plate to block light.

13. The light-emitting mirror of claim 7 , wherein the frame further comprises a second light-blocking part opposite to the first light-blocking part, and the second light-blocking part is connected to the mounting part.

14. The light-emitting mirror of claim 1 , wherein the front surface of the light-reflecting portion forms a fluorescent marker writing area; or the front surfaces of the light-reflecting portion and the light-transmitting portion form the fluorescent marker writing area.

15. The light-emitting mirror of claim 2 , wherein the front surface of the light-reflecting portion forms a fluorescent marker writing area; or the front surfaces of the light-reflecting portion and the light-transmitting portion form the fluorescent marker writing area.

16. The light-emitting mirror of claim 3 , wherein the front surface of the light-reflecting portion forms a fluorescent marker writing area; or the front surfaces of the light-reflecting portion and the light-transmitting portion form the fluorescent marker writing area.

17. The light-emitting mirror of claim 4 , wherein the front surface of the light-reflecting portion forms a fluorescent marker writing area; or the front surfaces of the light-reflecting portion and the light-transmitting portion form the fluorescent marker writing area.

18. The light-emitting mirror of claim 5 , wherein the front surface of the light-reflecting portion forms a fluorescent marker writing area; or the front surfaces of the light-reflecting portion and the light-transmitting portion form the fluorescent marker writing area.

19. The light-emitting mirror of claim 6 , wherein the front surface of the light-reflecting portion forms a fluorescent marker writing area; or the front surfaces of the light-reflecting portion and the light-transmitting portion form the fluorescent marker writing area.

20. A fluorescent message mirror, comprising:

a light-transmitting panel, comprising a front side, a back side, and a sidewall, wherein the front side is opposite to the back side, and the sidewall connects the front side and the back side, the front side serves as a fluorescent marker writing area of the fluorescent message mirror;

a frame, comprising a mounting part arranged on the sidewall of the light-transmitting panel; and

a light source module, arranged between the mounting part and the sidewall of the light-transmitting panel, configured to emit a light beam onto the sidewall of the light-transmitting panel to allow the light beam to enter the light-transmitting panel and display a fluorescent marker writing on the front side of the light-transmitting panel.
