  • Patent number: 11754769
    Abstract: A backlight kit includes a base member, a covering member, a slim-type light guide element and an illumination module. The covering member is combined with the base member. The slim-type light guide element and the illumination module are arranged between the base member and the covering member. After the illumination module emits a light beam to the slim-type light guide element, the light beam is transferred through the slim-type light guide element. Consequently, a luminance gradient region is formed on the surface of the covering member.

  • Publication number: 20200116348
    Abstract: A cooling fan includes a fan frame, an impeller mechanism and an illumination module. The fan frame includes an opening and an inner wall. The impeller mechanism is disposed within the opening, and rotatable relative to the fan frame. The illumination module is installed on the fan frame, and emits plural light beams. After the plural light beams are transmitted through the inner wall, the plural light beams are projected to the impeller mechanism. The illumination module and the impeller mechanism of the cooling fan of the present invention are separately arranged. Since the illumination module is not rocked while the impeller mechanism is rotated, the possibility of causing damage of the illumination module will be minimized. Moreover, the stability of controlling the illumination module and the impeller mechanism is also enhanced.

  • Patent number: 10585463
    Abstract: A luminous fan includes a supporting mechanism, a main circuit board, a light-guiding impeller and an illumination module. The light-guiding impeller is pivotally coupled to a bracket of the supporting mechanism. The illumination module is disposed within a hub of the light-guiding impeller. After a light beam from a light-emitting element of the illumination module is emitted to a lens assembly, the light beam is refracted by a secondary lens of the lens assembly and transmitted to the light-guiding impeller. Consequently, the light-guiding impeller is illuminated.
