Abstract:
1. A lighting device, comprising: a light-guiding rod including a transparent hollow housing having two open ends and two insulating plugs for closing corresponding said two open ends, each of said plugs having an inner surface and a supporting slot formed on said inner surface; and a light-emitting unit, including a transparent light-guiding plate disposed in said housing and having two end portions each extending into said supporting slot of a corresponding one of said plugs, at least one light-emitting diode, said at least one light-emitting diode having a light-emitting surface attached to a lower surface of said light-guiding plate, a non-light-emitting surface opposed to said light-emitting surface, and a plurality of electric contacts provided on said non-light-emitting surface, a mounting substrate having a wiring surface and a plurality of electric traces formed on said wiring surface, and a plurality of conductive bumps for connecting electrically said electric contacts of said at least one light-emitting diode to corresponding said electric traces in such a manner that said at least one light-emitting diode is mounted on said wiring surface of said mounting substrate.
