The best way to implement the invention

The invention provides a shoe with a flexible light-emitting module, which has an integrated light source design, which simplifies the production process. The shoe of the present invention can be applied to sports shoes and casual shoes, but is not limited thereto. Please refer to Figure 1. 1 is a schematic view of an embodiment of a shoe 1 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the shoe 1 includes a sole layer 10 and a body 11 disposed on the sole layer 10. In addition, the shoe 1 further comprises a power supply unit 20 and a transparent flexible lighting module 30. The power supply unit 20 is disposed on the sole layer 10. The power supply unit 20 is, for example, a rechargeable battery for providing power for the flexible light emitting module 30 to emit light. The flexible light emitting module 30 is attached to the surface 13 of the body 11. For example, the flexible light emitting module 30 is attached to the surface of the fabric constituting the body 11.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the body 11 has a rear sleeve portion 15. The flexible light emitting module 30 is disposed on the back cover portion 15. Thereby, the light source 32 of the flexible light-emitting module 30 emits light toward the rear of the shoe 1, which can provide a warning and guiding effect to the rear of the user. In other embodiments, the flexible lighting module 30 can be placed at different locations as desired. For example, it is provided on the side of the body 11 of the shoe 1. In addition, a plurality of flexible light-emitting modules 30 may be disposed at different positions of the shoe 1 to achieve the effect of emitting light in different directions. Designed to provide a warning feature to ensure user safety.

2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a flexible lighting module 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flexible lighting module 30 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 20 and has a plurality of light sources 32. The flexible light emitting module 30 includes a conductive polymer layer, and the light source 32 is disposed on the conductive polymer layer. The above conductive polymer layer refers to a polymer in which conductive particles are added to a polymer or modified by a doping method to allow electrons to move freely on a molecular chain to have conductivity. The light source 32 disposed on the conductive polymer layer can be electrically connected to the conductive polymer layer, for example, in a flip-chip package. The conductive polymer layer generates a light by forming a voltage difference between the respective light sources 32 through the power supply unit 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the light source 32 receives the power of the power supply unit 20 and emits light from the light exit surface 31. By designing a plurality of light sources 32 on the conductive polymer layer, the plurality of light sources 32 can be set together at the time of fabrication to simplify the manufacturing process.

In one embodiment, the conductive polymer layer comprises a thermoplastic polyurethane having good mechanical properties and being easy to process, and can be formed into a desired shape in combination with the external body type. In other embodiments, the conductive polymer layer may alternatively be constructed of other thermoplastic elastomeric materials.

Figure 3 is a schematic view of the light of the shoe 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the shoe 1 further includes a protective film 40. The protective film 40 can be attached to the light-emitting surface 31 of the flexible light-emitting module 30, for example, thereby forming a shield for the flexible light-emitting module 30. In an embodiment, the protective film 40 may be a sticker having a light transmissive pattern design. The pattern 42 can be, for example, a user's belonging number or a team name, and the like. The light transmissive pattern is, for example, a pattern in which at least a part of the protective film 40 is formed to have a light-transmissive region, and is formed in a form in which a portion is permeable to light (pattern region) and partially opaque (regions other than the pattern). As shown in FIG. 3, the light emitted from the protective film 40 via the flexible light emitting module 30 is projected toward the outside of the body 11 to produce a projected pattern 42'. By design, a patterned presentation can be utilized to further enhance the recognition.

Figure 4 is a schematic view of another embodiment of the shoe of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the shoe 1 includes a sole layer 10 and a body 11 disposed on the sole layer 10. The flexible lighting module 30 is disposed on the upper 13 of the body 11 and extends from the rear sleeve portion 15 to the side surface. Therefore, the light source 32 of the flexible light-emitting module 30 emits light toward the rear and side of the shoe 1, which can provide warning and guiding effects to the rear and sides of the user.

The present invention has been described by the above related embodiments, but the above embodiments are merely examples for implementing the present invention. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention. Rather, modifications and equivalent arrangements are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
