[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the infinite mirror light emitting device 1 includes an infinite mirror 11 and a mounting base 12. In addition, the infinite mirror light emitting device 1 may also include a supporting buckle 13 as required. The infinite mirror 11 includes a light-transmitting substrate 111, a first light-reflecting member 112, and a second light-reflecting member 113. The light-transmitting substrate 111 includes a light-guiding portion 111a and has a through hole 111b. The through hole 111b penetrates the light-guiding portion 111a.

[0048] The light transmittance of the light guide portion 111a may be above 80%. In this embodiment, the material of the light guide portion 111a may be glass or tempered glass, and the through hole 111b may be filled with ambient gas as a light guide material. The refractive index of the light guide portion 111a may be greater than the refractive index of the ambient gas, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the through hole 111b may also be filled with other light guide materials with a refractive index less than that of the light guide portion 111a.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first reflector 112 is disposed on the light-transmitting substrate 111 and covers the first end 111b1 of the through hole 111b. The second reflector 113 is disposed on the light-transmitting substrate 111 and covers the second end 111b2 of the through hole 111b. The light-transmitting substrate 111 may have a first assembly groove 111c and a second assembly groove 111d. The first assembly groove 111c may surround the first end 111b1 of the through hole 111b. The first reflector 112 may be disposed on the first assembly groove 111c and covers the first end 111b1 of the through hole 111b. The second assembly groove 111d may surround the second end 111b2 of the through hole 111b. The second reflector 113 may be disposed on the second assembly groove 111d and covers the second end 111b2 of the through hole 111b. The first reflective element 112 and the second reflective element 113 can be fixed to the transparent substrate 111 by using UV curing adhesive or a universal glass bonding process.

[0050] In this embodiment, only the first reflector 112 is a translucent reflector, but the present invention is not limited thereto. At least one of the first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113 is a translucent reflector. In other embodiments, both the first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113 may be translucent reflectors. The ratio of the transmittance and reflectance of the translucent reflector may be 3:7 to 9:1. The first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113 may achieve different transmittance and reflectance by electroplating.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 111 b may be circular. The shapes of the first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113 may be circular. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 111 b may be substantially the same as the shapes of the first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113.

[0052] The mounting base 12 may include a first shell 121, a second shell 122, a circuit board 123 and a plurality of light-emitting components 124.

The mounting groove 120 is disposed in the first shell 121. The light-emitting component 124 is used to emit light L. The light L emitted by the light-emitting component 124 can irradiate the mounting groove 120. The light-transmitting substrate 111 has outer surfaces 1111, 1112, and 1113. The outer surface 1111 and the outer surface 1112 are opposite to each other. The outer surface 1113 is located between the outer surface 1111 and the outer surface 1112 and connects the outer surface 1111 and the outer surface 1112. The infinity mirror 11 can be inserted into the mounting groove 120 of the mounting seat 12, so that the light emitting element 124 is disposed on the outer surface 1111 of the light-transmitting substrate 111 via the first shell 121. The mounting seat 12 can accommodate the infinity mirror 11.

A portion of the light irradiated to the first reflector 112 will be transmitted and leave the infinity mirror 11, and the other portion will be reflected between the first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113. When the reflected light irradiates the first reflector 112 again, it will be divided into the transmitted light and the reflected light again, and so on, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The light can also be reflected by the second reflector 113 first and then irradiate to the first reflector 112. A portion of the light irradiated to the first reflector 112 will be transmitted and leave the infinity mirror 11, and the other portion will be reflected between the first reflector 112 and the second reflector 113. When the reflected light irradiates the first reflector 112 again, it will be divided into the transmitted light and the reflected light again, and so on. Thereby, when the light-transmitting substrate 111 is observed from the first light-reflecting element 112 , a visual effect of an infinite tunnel is presented.
