[0034] A first reflecting surface 411 and a second reflecting surface 412 are respectively arranged in parallel on both sides of the first reflecting portion 41. The first reflecting surface 411 and the second reflecting surface 412 are both arranged inclined relative to the horizontal direction. The angle between the first reflecting surface 411 and the second reflecting surface 412 and the horizontal direction is 45°. The angle between the incident light and the first reflecting surface 411 is also 45°, ensuring that the efficiency of total reflection of the incident light on the first reflecting surface 411 and the second reflecting surface 412 is maximized; the projection length of the first reflecting surface 411 and the second reflecting surface 412 in the horizontal direction is A. One end of the first reflecting portion 41 is connected to the light exit portion 3, and part of the incident light is emitted from the light exit portion 3 through the first reflecting portion 41.
[0035] The second reflecting portion 42 is in the shape of a slide. The inclined surface of the second reflecting portion 42 is provided with a third reflecting surface 421 and a fourth reflecting surface 422 in sequence from bottom to top. The angle between the third reflecting surface 421 and the fourth reflecting surface 422 and the vertical direction is 45°, ensuring that the total reflection efficiency of the incident light on the third reflecting surface 421 and the fourth reflecting surface 422 is maximized; the projection length of the third reflecting surface 421 and the fourth reflecting surface 422 in the horizontal direction is B. The top of the second reflecting portion 42 is connected to the light exit portion 3, and part of the incident light is emitted from the light exit portion 3 through the second reflecting portion 42.
[0036] Light distribution patterns are provided on the first reflecting surface 411 , the second reflecting surface 412 , the third reflecting surface 421 and the fourth reflecting surface 422 . The light distribution patterns ensure that the light remains uniform after total reflection in sequence, thereby improving the uniformity of each total reflection of the light.
[0037] The light-enhancing portion 4 also includes a concentrator 2, which has a light inlet 21 at one end of the concentrator 2 away from the first reflecting portion 41, and a light distribution pattern is provided on the inner wall of the concentrator 2, which uniformizes the incident light. The concentrator 2 is connected to the other end of the first reflecting portion 41, and the projection length of the concentrator 2 in the horizontal direction is L; wherein, L≤A, L≤B. In the existing scheme, the incident light is emitted from the light-emitting portion 3 through the concentrator 2, and the light-emitting width of the light-emitting portion 3 is L. The light width of the light in this scheme is A+B. Since, L≤A or B, the light-emitting width of this scheme is at least doubled.
[0038] Among them, a part of the incident light is emitted to the first reflecting surface 411, and after being totally reflected by the first reflecting surface 411, it is emitted to the second reflecting surface 412, and after being totally reflected by the second reflecting surface 412, it is emitted from the light emitting portion 3; another part of the incident light is emitted to the third reflecting surface 421, and after being totally reflected by the third reflecting surface 421, it is emitted to the fourth reflecting surface 422, and after being totally reflected by the fourth reflecting surface 422, it is emitted from the light emitting portion 3. The sum of the widths of the light emitted by the first reflecting portion 41 and the second reflecting portion 42 is the light emitting width, thereby increasing the light emitting area of the incident light.
[0039] To sum up, the light source is placed at the light entrance 21, and the incident light enters the concentrator 2 from the light entrance 21. A part of the incident light is emitted to the first reflecting surface 411, and after total reflection by the first reflecting surface 411, it is emitted to the second reflecting surface 412, and after total reflection by the second reflecting surface 412, it is emitted out of the light exit part 3. The light exit width of this part of the light is A; another part of the incident light is emitted to the third reflecting surface 421, and after total reflection by the third reflecting surface 421, it is emitted to the fourth reflecting surface 422, and after total reflection by the fourth reflecting surface 422, it is emitted out of the light exit part 3. The light exit width of this part of the light is B; therefore, the light exit width of the light enhancing part 4 is A+B, which is greater than the width of the concentrator 2, thereby increasing the light exit area and optimizing the light exit effect.
