A color of the first light 710 is the same as a color of the second color light. The functional reflective light 701 includes a first sub-light 711 being a part of the first light 710 reflected by the first surface 611 and a second sub-light 712 being a part of the first light 710 reflected by the second surface 612 and emitted out from the first surface 611. At least some peaks of the first sub-light 711 overlap at least some peaks of the second sub-light 712, or at least some valleys of the first sub-light 711 overlaps at least some valleys of the second sub-light 712.
