Abstract
A flexible light-emitting apparatus including a side light-emitting flexible light guide rod, two light emitting diodes, and two lenses is provided. The side light-emitting flexible light guide rod has a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and a light-emitting surface connecting the first and the second ends. The LEDs are respectively disposed beside the first end and the second end and adapted for emitting light beams toward the side light-emitting flexible light guide rod, respectively. One of the lenses is located between the first end and the LED disposed beside the first end, and the other lens is located between the second end and the LED disposed beside the second end. Each of the light beams enters the side light-emitting flexible light guide rod through the corresponding lens and is transmitted to the outside of the side light-emitting flexible light guide rod through the light-emitting surface.
