  • Patent number: 10203094
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a casing, a lighting module, and a lens module. The lighting module is disposed in the casing for providing light and includes first and second light sources. The lens module faces the lighting module and includes a first lens aligned with the first light source, a second lens aligned with the second light source, a sliding frame, and a driving motor. The sliding frame is fixed to the first lens and has a thread portion. The driving motor has a screw rod for engaging with the thread portion, to make the sliding frame movable along the screw rod. The driving motor rotates the screw rod to make the thread portion drive the first and second lenses close to or away from the first and second light sources. Accordingly, the present invention reduces the manufacturing cost of the light emitting device and simplifies its mechanical design.
