Abstract

A toy eye includes a housing, a light module, and a shield. The housing defines an opening therein. The light module is received in the housing. The shield is positioned in the opening and comprises a light-permeating portion. The light module is configured for emitting light to illuminate the light-permeating portion.

1 . A toy eye comprising:
 a housing defining an opening therein;   a light module received in the housing; and   a shield positioned in the opening, comprising a light-permeating portion;   wherein the light module is configured for emitting light to illuminate the light-permeating portion.   
   
   
       2 . The toy eye of  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a base and a shell mounted on the base. 
   
   
       3 . The toy eye of  claim 1 , wherein the light module comprises a plurality of light sources and a light guiding body above the plurality of light sources. 
   
   
       4 . The toy eye of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of light sources are spaced apart from each other. 
   
   
       5 . The toy eye of  claim 4 , wherein the light guiding body comprises a light-output portion and a plurality of light-input portions extending downwardly and outwardly from the light-output portion, each of the light-input portions is configured for receiving light emitted by one of the plurality of light sources and directing the light to the light-output portion, and the light-output portion is configured for mixing the light. 
   
   
       6 . The toy eye of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality light sources are configured for emitting out different colored light respectively.
