  • Lighting structure
    Patent number: 8021022
    Abstract: A lighting structure adapted to be disposed at an electronic apparatus is provided. The lighting structure includes a lighting module, a first elastic element, a latch, and a second elastic element. The lighting module has a light source and a stopper element. The first elastic element is connected to the lighting module. The latch has an interfering portion for blocking the stopper element and is capable of sliding in the electronic apparatus. The second elastic element is connected to the latch. When the latch is subjected to an external force and slides to deform the second elastic element, the stopper element disengages from the interfering portion, and the first elastic element rotates the lighting module, such that the lighting module is at a different position, and the light source is used to illuminate part of the electronic apparatus.
