The invention aims at providing a three-dimensional luminous character with a simple structure and a preparation method thereof. The specific preparation technology processes comprise 1, drawing, wherein the size and shape of the luminous character is designed to make a font line frame graph; 2, font contour printing, wherein according to the font line frame graph obtained in step 1, a 3D printingtechnology is adopted to print a font contour with a certain height, the font contour is provided with a supporting layer, the supporting layer is arranged perpendicular to the height direction of the font contour or parallel to the end face of the font contour, and the thickness of the supporting layer is less than or equal to the height of the font contour; 3, luminous source pasting, wherein aluminous source is pasted on the supporting layer of the font contour; and 4, panel manufacturing, wherein the preparation of the luminous character is completed. The preparation method of the three-dimensional luminous character has the advantages that the finished product rate and production efficiency of the three-dimensional luminous character can be improved, the production cost is reduced,the energy conservation and environment protection are achieved, and the preparation method is suitable for mass production of the luminous character.
