  • Patent number: 11630259
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a main body, a light guide plate, and a flexible circuit board. The main body includes a light exit wall and a side wall connected and bent relative to each other. The light exit wall and the side wall together form a groove. The light guide plate has a light exit region and a light mixing region. Microstructures are disposed on the light exit region. At least a part of the light exit region is engaged in the groove. The flexible circuit board has a light-emitting unit. The light-emitting unit is configured to emit light toward a side surface of the light mixing region. The light enters the light guide plate from the side surface of the light mixing region and is totally reflected in the light mixing region, and then is guided to the light exit wall through the microstructures.
