Abstract

A wearable object includes a main body and a light emitting device. The main body includes a first containing space, a second containing space separated from the first containing space, and an elastic structure corresponding to the second containing space. The light emitting device includes a plurality of light emitting units, a controlling unit and a switch module. The controlling unit is disposed in the first containing space and connected to the light emitting units, and configured to drive the light emitting units to emit light. The switch module includes a first metal sheet and a contacting portion, and is configured in the second containing space and connected to the controlling unit. When the elastic structure is pressed toward the second containing space to cause the contacting portion to contact the first metal sheet, the switch module sends a controlling signal to the controlling unit.
