Abstract

A light guiding structure includes a resilient base and a plurality of light guiding columns. A plurality of through holes is separately formed on the resilient base. The plurality of light guiding columns resiliently engages with the plurality of through holes. Each of a plurality of light emitting components is disposed on an end of each of the plurality of the light guiding columns. The light guiding structure utilizes the plurality of light guiding columns for guiding the light transmitted from the plurality of light emitting components and further utilizes the resilient base for allowing the light transmitted from one of the plurality of light emitting components to pass through the corresponding light guiding column only. Therefore, the light transmitted from the plurality of light emitting components can be guided to a correct position, which effectively reduces human misjudgment.
