DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.



FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the assembly of a light emitting module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the assembly of the light emitting module according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the light emitting module comprises a light emitting panel 10, a plurality of lighting elements 20 fixed in the light emitting panel 10, a magnetic reed switch 30, and at least one cell 40.


The light emitting panel 10 includes a display surface 11 on which a first raised pattern set 12 and a second raised pattern set 13 are formed; wherein the first raised pattern set 12 and the second raised pattern set 13 are various letters, symbols, or patterns.


The plurality of lighting elements 20 are disposed on a bottom plate 50 and are secured in the light emitting panel 10 with the bottom plate 50. Each lighting element 20 at least has a first light 21 facing to the first raised pattern set 12 and emitting light and a second light 22 facing to the second raised pattern set 13 and emitting light; wherein the each lighting element 20 is a light emitting diode or a light bulb.


The magnetic reed switch 30 is mounted in the light emitting panel 10 and is electrically connected with the each lighting element 20. In this embodiment, the magnetic reed switch 30 and the each lighting element 20 are fixed on the bottom plate 50.


The at least one cell 40 is secured in the light emitting panel 10 and is electrically with the bottom plate 50 through a wire 60 and is electrically coupled with the plurality of lighting elements 20 and the magnetic reed switch 30. To obtain a thin and light purpose, the at least one cell 40 is selected from a button cell.



FIG. 3 is another perspective view showing the assembly of the light emitting module according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the light emitting panel 10 includes a groove 14 defined on a bottom end thereof to receive the plurality of lighting elements 20, the bottom plate 50, and the at least one cell 40. To receive the plurality of lighting elements 20, the bottom plate 50, and the at least one cell 40 in the light emitting panel 10, the light emitting panel 10 includes a cover 70 arranged on the bottom end thereof to close the plurality of lighting elements 20, the bottom plate 50, and the at least one cell 40 in the light emitting panel 10. In this embodiment, the cover 70 is a thin sheet or an adhesive waterproof sheet.


Thereby, the light emitting panel 10 includes the plurality of lighting elements 20 received thereon to emit light without using an external power supply.



FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the operation of the light emitting module according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. When turning on the magnetic reed switch 30, the first light 21 and the second light 22 emit the light by ways of the at least one cell 40 and illuminate the first raised pattern set 12 and the second raised pattern set 13 of the light emitting panel 10.
