Abstract
A light emitting device for emitting neon-like light, comprises a transparent pipe, a plurality of optical fibers within the transparent pipe, a protecting pipe within the transparent pipe, a flexible supporting wire located within the protecting pipe, and a plurality of micro-windows cut on the surface of each optical fiber such that the light propagating along each fiber leaks from the micro-windows, thus providing a surface emitting effect.
