Luminous photo frame

Abstract

A luminous photo frame includes an outer frame assembly having a light transmittable section, a reflector plate arranged in the outer frame assembly, a light guide plate arranged between the reflector plate and the light transmittable section, a light emission element opposing an edge of the light guide plate, a brightness enhancement film arranged between the light guide plate and the light transmittable section, and a light-transmitting surface panel mounted to the outer frame assembly to be adjacent to the light transmittable section. To use, a traditional photo is first deposited at one side of the light-transmitting surface panel and the light emission element is activated to emit light, which is guided and spread by the light guide plate and reflected by the reflector plate for projecting toward the light transmittable section to pass through the brightness enhancement film and transmit through the light transmittable section and the traditional photo.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A luminous photo frame, comprising:
 an outer frame assembly, wherein outer frame assembly comprises at least one light transmittable section arranged at one side thereof for transmission of light therethrough;   at least one reflector plate, wherein the reflector plate is arranged in the outer frame assembly to correspond to the light transmittable section so as to have light projected toward the light transmittable section;   at least one light guide plate arranged between the reflector plate and the light transmittable section, wherein the light guide plate is located between the reflector plate and the light transmittable section so as to have light homogeneously projected toward the light transmittable section;   at least one light emission element that emits light, the light emission element being arranged to oppose an edge of the light guide plate;   at least one brightness enhancement film, wherein the brightness enhancement film is arranged between the light guide plate and the light transmittable section; and   at least one light-transmitting surface panel, wherein the light-transmitting surface panel is mounted to the outer frame assembly to be adjacent to the light transmittable section, the light-transmitting surface panel having a side where a traditional photo is positionable to allow the light to transmit from a back side of the traditional photo to a front side thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer frame assembly comprises a retention frame for receiving and retaining the light transmittable section and at least one back cover arranged at a side of the retention frame that is opposite to the light transmittable section. 
     
     
         3 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer frame assembly has two opposite edges in which at least one exchange section and at least one push section are respectively formed, the light-transmitting surface panel and the outer frame assembly defining therebetween at least one receiving space corresponding to the light transmittable section for receiving a traditional photo to be deposited therein, the receiving space being in communication with an exchange opening formed at one side thereof adjacent to the exchange section for exchanging the traditional photo, the receiving space being also in communication with a push opening formed at one side thereof adjacent to the push section for easy pushing of the traditional photo to achieve efficient exchange of the traditional photo through pushing. 
     
     
         4 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the light emission element comprises a light-emitting diode (LED) and the outer frame assembly comprises therein a control element electrically connected with the light emission element, the control element being electrically connected with at least one switch element mounted to the outer frame assembly. 
     
     
         5 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 4 , wherein the outer frame assembly has two adjacent side edges each comprising at least one power socket mounted thereto and electrically connected with the control element to allow for positioning of the outer frame assembly in different directions, the power sockets being in compliance with universal serial bus (USB) specifications for easy transmission of electrical power. 
     
     
         6 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 5 , wherein the outer frame assembly is positionable in a vertical portrait condition, a horizontal landscape condition, or a wall-suspended condition. 
     
     
         7 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 5 , wherein the control element is electrically connected with at least one electricity accumulation element mounted in the outer frame assembly. 
     
     
         8 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 4 , wherein the control element is electrically connected with at least one light adjusting element mounted to one side edge of the outer frame assembly for manual operation of adjusting brightness emitting from the light emission element. 
     
     
         9 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 8 , wherein the light adjusting element and the switch element are arranged not to project beyond an edge of the light-transmitting surface panel for preventing erroneous contact and actuation. 
     
     
         10 . The luminous photo frame according to  claim 4 , wherein the outer frame assembly comprises at least one light detection element in information communication with the control element for automatic adjustment of brightness emitting from the light emission element.
