The light source is preferably made of LED bulb components. The frame includes a front cover having a central opening for the exposition of a located photograph, an intermediate light illumination loop and a supporting frame. The illumination loop is removably engaged with the supporting frame with the front cover attached to the flanges of the supporting frame and the illumination loop hidden behind the front cover without being noticed.

Claims3
A light illuminated photo frame comprising:
- a front cover made of plastics, ceramics, acrylic resin, metal or wood and having a central opening for the exposition of a photograph received in said photo frame;
- a supporting frame having a front face with three sides thereof provided with a flange respectively consisting of a vertical wall and an outward extended horizontal fold on which a number of holes is disposed so that said front cover can be fastened thereto either by screws or by glue, a battery box integrally disposed on the rear side of said supporting frame and with a CDS light control means disposed thereon and in operative relation with LED light bulb means so as to permit switching said LED light bulb means on and off automatically by the intensity of external light, an adaptor jack disposed on said battery box, a supporting leg adapted for erecting said photo frame, a pair of slots in orthogonal relation with each other being disposed on the rear side of said supporting frame, the top end of said supporting leg being in selective engagement with one of said slots so as to permit the disposition of said photo frame to vary, and a number of guiding units secured to said front face of said supporting frame for fixing a photograph and a piece of transparent glass or the like in place;
- each said guiding unit being provided with a first flange and a second flange which are spaced vertically and horizontally at a slight distance with each other;
- at least two of said guiding units being disposed in alignment with each other at one side of said front face so as to permit the photograph and the glass to be simultaneously fixed in place by said first and second flanges reflecting surfaces on the flanged sides of said front face in place to receive light from said LED light bulb means and reflect same toward the place in the photo frame where a photo may be exposed, whereby said light bulb means produces illumination light which is delivered around the photo frame so that the photograph disposed in said photo frame can be seen in the dark.
