Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first light guide plate 112 is a long-strip-shaped acrylic plate, one end of light guide plate which is an arc and serves as the light ray emitting end of the first light guide plate 112; its opposite end of the first light guide plate 112 recesses inwards to form two supporting feet 102, serves as the light ray incident end of the first light guide plate 112. In addition, the recess is a step narrowing-type inward recess which extends from the light ray incident end to the light ray emitting end, and is provided with a first recess 1123 and a second recess 1125 from the light ray incident end, wherein the side surface of the first recess 1123 connected with the second recess 1125 is the light ray incident surface of the first light guide plate 112. The two plate surfaces of the first light guide plate 112 are each provided with a groove recessing inwards in the thickness direction of the first light guide plate 112. Each groove starts from the edge of the left side in the middle of the corresponding plate surface, extends along the left side, passes by the edge of the light ray emitting end of the first light guide plate 112, then extends along the right side of the corresponding plate surface, and stops on the edge of the right side in the middle of the corresponding plate surface. The grooves appear to be U shapes and thus called U-shaped grooves 1127. The two U-shaped grooves 1127 in the same first light guide plate 112 coincide with each other and are separated by the first light guide plate 112, but are not communicated with each other. A plurality of cross grains 104 are arranged on the side edge of the first light guide plate 112 where the surrounding U-shaped grooves 1127 extend along, and the axial direction of each cross grain 104 is the same as the thickness direction of the first light guide plate 112.
It should be noted that ‘the left side in the middle of the plate surface’ and ‘the right side in the middle of the plate surface’ are used for distinguishing explanation. It is known to those skilled in the art that the function of light guide is not influenced no matter the U-shaped grooves 1127 start from the left side or the right side. Therefore, the feature explanation of ‘the right side in the middle of the plate surface’ and ‘the right side in the middle of the plate surface’ cannot be used for limiting the technical contents.

The second light guide plate 114 is also provided with two supporting feet 102. The side surfaces of the fourth recess 1145 not involved in forming the connection of the two supporting feet 102 are the light ray incident surfaces of the second light guide plate 114; (2) on the basis that the light ray emitting end of the second light guide plate 114 is an arc, the middle of the arc recesses inwards to the light ray incident end of the second light guide plate 114 to form a third recess 1143, therefore, the light ray emitting end of the second light guide plate 114 is in a tuning fork shape, on which two first fork arms 1149 are formed light guide plate; (3) the U-shaped grooves 1127 in the two plate surfaces of the second light guide plate 114 are intercepted by the third recess 1143 light guide plate, thus two C-shaped grooves 1147 are formed in each of the two first fork arms 1149 of the second light guide plate 114, and the two C-shaped grooves 1147 located on different plate surfaces of the same first fork arm 1149 coincide with each other, but are not communicated as separated by the second light guide plate 114.
The combined I-type light guide 11 is shown in FIG. 5-FIG. 7. The second recess 1125 of the first light guide plate 112 is meshed with the third recess 1143 of the second light guide plate 114, so that the light guide plate 112 and the second light guide plate 114 are spliced with each other in a perpendicular mode to form a long bar with four wing plates arranged in a cross shape. The wing plates are the half plates of the first light guide plate 112 and the half plates of the second light guide plate 114. The light ray emitting end of the first light guide plate 112 is combined with the light ray emitting end of the second light guide plate 114, and the light ray incident end of the first light guide plate 112 is combined with the light ray incident end of the second light guide plate 114.
