LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE WITH OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES

A luminous device (1) comprises a series of optical guides (6) each capable of enabling the guidance of light rays between an input face (20) arranged at a proximal end (16) of the optical guide, and an output face (22). [0002] The device is formed of at least two sub-assemblies (2, 4) produced separately and each comprising at least one part of said series of optical guides and first structural elements (14) for holding the guides in position connecting the successive optical guides of said sub-assembly to one another, the two sub-assemblies being capable of being assembled to form said device by cooperation of said first structural elements. [0003] The distal ends of at least two successive optical guides of the series are linked by a piece of flexible material (5) that is translucent or transparent.
