Light Guide Element and Optical Device Comprised Thereof
First Claim
1. A light guide element, which is used to guide light of the light emitting element coming through from a lid body, the light guide element comprising:
- a lower side structure, extending toward the light emitting element wherein the bottom portion of the lower side structure has an incoming light surface, and the incoming light surface is adjacent to the light emitting element;
an upper side structure, the upper side structure has an outgoing light surface, the upper side structure being adjacent to the lid body; and
a central structure which is positioned between the upper side structure and the lower side structure wherein the central structure comprises two combining parts extending to both sides of the upper side structure separately and each of the two combining parts has at least one connecting hole respectively whereas the light guide element is joined to the lid body by means of the at least one connecting hole.

Abstract
The invention relates to a light guide element and an optical device comprised thereof. The optical device includes a substrate, a light emitting element, a lid body, a light guide element, a support pad, and an indicator panel. The light emitting element is disposed on the substrate. The lid body is coupled to the substrate and contains a receiving groove on the surface. The light guide element is coupled to the inner side of the lid body and is substantially disposed above the light emitting element. The underside of the support pad is affixed to the receiving groove. The underside of the indicator panel is affixed to the surface of the support pad whereas the indicator panel includes a photic zone where light, emitted from the light emitting element and guided by the light guide element, passes through.
