  An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is installed on an instrument panel that is mounted on a vehicle and faces a seat on which an occupant who views the device 100 is seated. The vehicle display device 100 is capable of displaying vehicle information toward the viewing side where an occupant is seated.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicular display device 100 includes a case unit 10, a mounting substrate 20, a background display plate 30, an image display unit 40, a pointer light source unit 22, a pointer driving unit 50, and a light emitting pointer 60. , A light transmitting plate light source section 24, a light transmitting plate 70, and the like.

  The case portion 10 includes a back side case 11, a viewing side case 12, a plate window member 13, and a smoke plate 14. The back side case 11 is formed of a synthetic resin, for example, so as to be light-shielding, and covers the mounting substrate 20 from the back side opposite to the viewing side.

  The visual recognition side case 12 arranged on the visual recognition side with respect to the back side case 11 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin so as to be light-shielding, and forms an outer frame portion 12a surrounding the light emitting pointer 60 and the like from the outer peripheral side. A partition portion 12b that partitions the case internal space is formed. The partition portion 12 b is provided with a pointer insertion cylinder portion 12 c that is formed in a cylindrical shape that penetrates the viewing side and the back surface side and that allows the light emission pointer 60 to be inserted therethrough. Further, the viewing side case 12 holds the light transmitting plate light source unit 24 and the light transmitting plate 70.

  The plate window member 13 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin so as to have a light shielding property, and is disposed further on the viewing side than the viewing side case 12. The plate window member 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape having openings on the viewing side and the back side along the outer peripheral contour of the apparatus 100.

  The smoke plate 14 is a semi-transparent plate that is formed in a curved plate shape that covers the entire surface of the viewing-side opening of the plate window member 13 with a semi-transparent resin such as colored acrylic resin or polycarbonate resin. . As a result, the light emission pointer 60 and the translucent plate 70 are visually recognized by the occupant through the smoke plate 14. The smoke plate 14 of the present embodiment is set to have a light transmittance of about 30% by smoke-like coloring, but may be set to an arbitrary value of 30% or more.

  The mounting substrate 20 is disposed between the rear case 11 and the partitioning portion 12b of the visual recognition case 12, and is formed in a flat plate shape, for example, with a synthetic resin. On the mounting substrate 20, the pointer driving unit 50, the light emitting element 22a of the pointer light source unit 22, and the like are mounted and held.

  The background display board 30 is also generally called a dial and is held on the viewing side of the partition part 12b. The background display plate 30 is formed in a flat plate shape, for example, by partially applying semi-translucent or light-shielding printing to the surface of a base material made of a synthetic resin having translucency. In addition, it may replace with printing and the coating may be given.

  The light-shielding region 31 by light-shielding printing or the like on the background display board 30 has a dark color, particularly at a position facing the concave hole 76 so that the display of the indicator portion 75 by the concave hole 76 of the light-transmitting plate 70 described later is emphasized. It is set to black.

  The image display unit 40 is arranged corresponding to the central region of the background display board 30. The image display unit 40 includes a display 41 such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display disposed in the vicinity of the background display plate 30 between the background display plate 30 and the mounting substrate 20.

  In the background display board 30, the area facing the display 41 is not printed, so that a translucent area 32 having translucency is surrounded by a light-shielding area 31 having light-shielding properties by printing, thereby forming a rectangular shape. Is formed. The light of the image displayed on the display 41 in this manner is transmitted through the background display board 30 and the translucent board 70, and further causes the occupant to visually recognize the image via the smoke board 14.

  A plurality of pointer light sources 22, a pointer driver 50, and light emission pointers 60 are provided corresponding to the left and right areas of the background display board 30. Since the pointer light source unit 22, the pointer drive unit 50, and the light emission pointer 60 have substantially the same configuration in the left and right regions, the configuration of the left region will be representatively described below.

  The pointer light source unit 22 includes a plurality of light emitting elements 22a that emit light source light. Each light emitting element 22a of the pointer light source unit 22 is mounted on the viewing side of the mounting substrate 20, and is disposed inside the pointer insertion cylinder 12c. Since the end portion on the back side of the pointer insertion cylinder portion 12c is in contact with the mounting substrate 20 over the entire circumference, the light source light emitted from each light emitting element 22a hardly leaks to the outside of the pointer insertion cylinder portion 12c. It has become. Each light emitting element 22a of the present embodiment employs a light emitting diode element, and each light emitting element 22a is connected to a power source through a wiring pattern on the mounting substrate 20 to emit light source light toward the viewing side. To emit. Each light-emitting element 22a may be a light-emitting element that emits light in a single color, or may be a multi-color light-emitting element capable of switching colors. The pointer light source unit 22 provides light source light.

  The pointer drive unit 50 is provided as a drive mechanism that drives the light emission pointer 60. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor is employed for the pointer drive unit 50, but a drive mechanism such as a cross coil gauge may be employed. The pointer driving unit 50 is held on the back side of the mounting substrate 20 and is driven according to control by the control circuit. Specifically, the pointer driving unit 50 can rotate the internal machine shaft 51 that passes through the mounting board 20 and is disposed inside the pointer insertion cylinder part 12 c that is closer to the viewing side than the mounting board 20. ing. The internal unit shaft 51 extends along a pointer axis AX that is a central axis around which the light emitting pointer 60 rotates.

  As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, the light emitting pointer 60 is formed as an entity and includes a pointer main body 61 and a boss cap 69. The pointer main body 61 is formed to be translucent by a base material made of, for example, an acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin. The light emission pointer 60 is moved to instruct an indicator portion 75 described later, and the light source light from the pointer light source portion 22 is taken in to emit light toward the viewer side. The pointer main body 61 integrally includes a connecting portion 62, a boss portion 63, and a needle-like portion 64.

  The connecting portion 62 is disposed on the pointer shaft AX in the pointer insertion tube portion 12c on the back side of the background display board 30. Since the internal unit shaft 51 is press-fitted into the insertion hole 62 a of the connection unit 62, the light emitting pointer 60 is connected to the pointer driving unit 50 and rotates around the pointer axis AX together with the internal unit shaft 51. .

  The boss portion 63 is disposed on the pointer shaft AX on the visual recognition side with respect to the background display plate 30 and connects the connecting portion 62 and the needle-like portion 64. The boss part 63 has a reflecting surface 63 a that is inclined so as to approach the needle-like part 64 as it goes from the back side to the viewing side. The light source light traveling from the light emitting element 22a toward the viewing side enters the reflecting surface 63a and is reflected toward the needle-like portion 64, whereby the light source light is deflected.

  A boss cap 69 is provided so as to cover the boss portion 63 from the viewing side. The boss cap 69 is made of a synthetic resin, for example, so as to have a light shielding property. Since the boss cap 69 shields the leakage of the light source light from the boss portion 63, parts other than the needle-like portion 64 of the light emission pointer 60 are not easily seen from the viewing side.

  The needle-like portion 64 has a needle-like shape extending from the boss portion 63 in the extending direction ED substantially perpendicular to the pointer axis AX on the viewing side with respect to the background display board 30. The needle-like part 64 has light emission parts 65 and 67 and a light emission restriction part 66. The light emission restricting portion 66 is provided at a position slightly closer to the distal end side than the intermediate portion between the proximal end side and the distal end side in the needle-like portion 64, and the light emitting portions 65 and 67 are interposed between the light emission restricting portions 66. It is provided in two places so as to sandwich.

  On the back side facing the background display board 30 in the needle-like portion 64, a single surface 64a formed in a planar shape is provided from the base end side to the tip end side. The single surface 64a exposes the translucent substrate in a mirror shape.

  On the other hand, on the viewing side facing the translucent plate 70 in the needle-like portion 64, the light emission restricting portion is arranged such that the arrangement position of the light emission restricting portion 66 is recessed on the back side from the arrangement portions of the light emitting portions 65 and 67. In 66, a recess 66a is formed. The recess 66a exposes the translucent substrate in a mirror shape. In addition, the recessed part 66a is only recessed from the visual recognition side to the back side, and the width dimension seen from the direction along the pointer axis AX in the needle-like part 64 is continuously set regardless of the presence of the recessed part 66a. ing.

  And in the arrangement | positioning location of the light emission parts 65 and 67 of the both sides on both sides of the recessed part 66a, the light emission surfaces 65a and 67a formed in flat form with the space | interval with the translucent board 70 are the side surface outlines 64b of the needle-like part 64. It is formed in a rectangular shape to match. The light emitting surfaces 65a and 67a are provided by forming a light emitting layer on the surface of a translucent substrate by, for example, hot stamping. The light emitting surfaces 65a and 67a of this embodiment are, for example, white and can emit light by diffusing incident light.

  Therefore, the light emitting portions 65 and 67 emit the light source light taken into the light emission pointer 60 to the viewing side, which is outside the light emission pointer 60, by diffusing the light from the light emission surfaces 65a and 67a.

  On the other hand, in the light emission restricting portion 66, the shape of the concave portion 66a that is recessed on the back side from the light emitting surfaces 65a and 67a is combined with the exposure of the base material without forming the light emitting layer. In addition, the emission of the light source light to the viewing side is more restricted than the light emitting portions 65 and 67. Of course, the light emission restricting portion 66 can also leak light from the light source to the viewer side, but the amount of light leaking is very small compared to the light source light emitted from the light emitting portions 65 and 67.

  The light source portion 24 for the light transmissive plate includes a light source substrate 25 that is sandwiched and held between the viewing side case 12 and the plate window member 13 so as to surround the outer edge portion 70 a of the light transmissive plate 70. Yes. The light transmitting plate light source section 24 is mounted on the light source substrate 25 and has a plurality of light emitting elements 24a arranged facing the outer edge section 70a. Each light emitting element 24a of the present embodiment employs a light emitting diode element, and each light emitting element 24a is connected to a power source through a wiring pattern on the light source substrate 25, so that the light source light is directed toward the viewing side. To emit. Note that each light emitting element 24a may be a light emitting element that emits light in a single color, or may be a multicolor light emitting element capable of switching colors.

  The translucent plate 70 is formed in a translucent plate shape using a base material made of, for example, an acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin. More specifically, the translucent plate 70 of the present embodiment has a flat plate shape in which the outer peripheral contour of the outer edge portion 70a is formed in a rectangular shape, and a pair of plate surfaces 70b and 70c are provided on both the viewing side and the back side. . The translucent plate 70 is arranged on the visual recognition side with respect to the background display plate 30 and the light emission indicator 60 and is provided substantially parallel to the background display plate 30. The viewing side plate surface 70b faces the viewing side. The back side plate surface 70c faces the background display plate 30 with the needle-like portion 64 of the light emission indicator 60 interposed therebetween by facing the back side.

  Such a light transmitting plate 70 has a coloring portion 71, a blurring portion 72, and an indicator portion 75. A plurality of coloring sections 71, blur sections 72, and index sections 75 are provided corresponding to the left and right areas of the background display board 30. Since the coloring unit 71, the blurring unit 72, and the indicator unit 75 have substantially the same configuration in the left and right regions, the configuration of the left region will be representatively described below.

  The colored portion 71 is disposed in a region facing the boss portion 63 and the boss cap 69 in a region facing the movable range of the light emission indicator 60 in the light transmitting plate 70. The coloring portion 71 is provided in a circular shape centered on the pointer axis AX. The coloring unit 71 colors the translucent plate 70 semi-translucently, for example, by performing smoke-like printing on the back side plate surface 70c. The colored portion 71 prevents the boss portion 63 and the boss cap 69 from being almost visible from the viewing side.

  The blurring portion 72 is disposed in a region facing the light emitting portion 67 on the proximal end side of the needle-like portion 64 in the region facing the movable range of the light emission indicator 60 in the light transmitting plate 70. Specifically, the blur portion 72 is provided in an annular shape concentrically with the coloring portion 71 on the outer peripheral side of the coloring portion 71.

  The blur part 72 has a plurality of streaks 73 and a plurality of exposed parts 74, and is a so-called spin tone printing part. The streak 73 is thin on the back side plate surface 70c extending in the crossing direction CD (circumferential direction in the present embodiment) intersecting the extending direction ED (radial direction in the present embodiment) of the needle-shaped portion 64 of the light emitting pointer 60. It is formed in a streak shape. Each streak 73 is formed, for example, by printing on the back side plate surface 70c using UV curable ink that is cured by ultraviolet rays. The UV curable ink is a material that exerts an optical action on the light source. On the other hand, the exposed portion 74 is configured by exposing the back side plate surface 70 c in the blur portion 72.

  More specifically, each of the streaks 73 is formed in an annular shape set to have a different diameter, and is arranged on a concentric circle with the pointer axis AX as the center. Since the streak portions 73 are spaced apart from each other in the radial direction, the streak portions 73 and the exposed portions 74 are alternately arranged in the blurring portion 72. Since each streak 73 is formed in a convex shape with respect to the back-side plate surface 70 c, periodic irregularities are formed in the radial direction between the streak 73 and the exposed part 74.

  Accordingly, the light source light emitted from the light emitting portion 65 on the proximal end side of the two light emitting portions 65 and 67 to the viewing side by the light emitting surface 65 a facing the blurring portion 72 passes through the blurring portion 72. It will be visually recognized from the viewing side. Here, since the light source light that passes through the exposed portion 74 in the blur portion 72 simply passes through without receiving a specific optical action, the side contour 64b of the needle-like portion can be seen as it is from the viewing side.

  On the other hand, the light source light passing through the streaks 73 in the blurring portion 72 is subjected to a specific optical action by the streaks 73 formed of UV curable ink. Specifically, as the optical action, a refraction action and a diffusion action are exerted on the light source light. As a result, in the side surface contour 64b extending along the extending direction ED in the needle-shaped portion 64, the light source light is emitted in the intersecting direction CD of the streak portion 73 rather than the actual side surface contour 64b at the portion intersecting the streak portion 73. Is spread and visible. Thus, the blurring unit 72 imparts a blurring action to the light source light.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, among the needle-like portions 64 of the light emission pointer 60, the side surface outline 64 b of the portion covered with the blurring portion 72 from the viewing side has the stripe-like portions 73 and the exposed portions alternately arranged. Due to the difference in the optical action on the light source light with respect to the part 74, the display is blurred and difficult to recognize. 3 and 6, only the part on the outer peripheral side of the streak 73 and the exposed part 74 is given a reference numeral.

  The indicator unit 75 displays vehicle information when instructed by the light emission indicator 60. As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, the light-transmitting plate 70 has a plurality of concave holes 76 that are recessed from one plate surface to the opposite plate surface side of the pair of plate surfaces 70 b and 70 c, as shown in detail in FIGS. doing. In particular, the concave hole 76 of the present embodiment is recessed in the thickness direction of the translucent plate 70 from the plate surface 70c toward the plate surface 70b side. The concave hole 76 has a bottom surface 76a and a side wall surface 76b. The bottom surface 76 a is formed in a planar shape at a position farthest from the plate surface 70 c in the concave hole 76. The side wall surface 76b is formed in a standing wall shape surrounding the bottom surface 76a over the entire circumference.

  Each concave hole 76 is illuminated with light from the light source 24 for the translucent plate to shine. More specifically, the light from each light emitting element 24 a of the light transmitting plate light source unit 24 is taken into the light transmitting plate 70 through the outer edge portion 70 a of the light transmitting plate 70. Inside the translucent plate 70, the light from each light emitting element 24a travels along the extending direction of the translucent plate 70, and illuminates the side wall surface 76b of each concave hole 76. As a result, the contour of each concave hole 76 by the side wall surface 76b shines by illumination. In the present embodiment, the luminosity of each concave hole 76 is made uniform by setting the concave depth of each concave hole 76 so as to be farther away from the light source 24 for the translucent plate.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the bottom surface 76a and the side wall surface 76b of each concave hole 76 are formed into a rough surface by, for example, embossing, so that light from each light emitting element 24a is diffused. For this reason, in addition to the side wall surface 76b, the bottom surface 76a also shines slightly.

  The indicator portion 75 is provided by the contour of the side wall surface 76b of each concave hole 76 forming the shape of the indicator. Specifically, the index unit 75 includes a scale index 75a having a scale shape and a character index 75b having a character shape. As the character index 75b, a numerical index 75c representing a numerical value corresponding to a scale and a unit index 75d representing a unit of the numerical value are provided.

  The unit index 75d is arranged in a region overlapping the coloring portion 71 on the inner peripheral side with respect to the blurring portion 72. Specifically, the unit indicator 75d in the left indicator portion 75 represents the characters “km / h”, which is a unit indicating the speed of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 5, the unit index 75d is shined with illumination by the light of the light source 24 for the translucent plate against the colored portion 71 provided on the back side plate surface 70c, and is silhouetted in a state where the luminance contrast is high. Displayed.

  As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, the scale index 75 a and the numerical index 75 c are arranged on the outer peripheral side with respect to the blur part 72. Of these, the scale index 75a is disposed on the outermost peripheral side of the index portion 75, and is formed by arranging a plurality of scales each having a concave hole 76 in a partial annular shape centered on the pointer shaft AX. The scale index 75a is displayed brilliantly by illumination with light from the light source 24 for the translucent plate with the background display plate 30 as the background.

  The scale index 75 a is arranged in a region facing the light emitting portion 67 on the tip side of the needle-like portion 64 in a region facing the movable range of the light emission indicator 60 in the translucent plate 70. As a result, the scale index 75 a is visually recognized by overlapping with the light emitting portion 67. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the blurring portion 72 is formed so as to avoid the region where the light emitting portion 65 is visually recognized by overlapping with the scale index 75 a, so that the scale index 75 a is a clearly visible light emission indicator. By overlapping with the side surface outline 64b of 60, the occupant can clearly read where the light emission indicator 60 indicates the scale index 75a.

  The numerical index 75c is arranged on the inner peripheral side with respect to the scale index 75a, and is formed of a concave hole 76 in a partial annular shape centered on the pointer axis AX, and a plurality of numbers corresponding to the scale index 75a are arranged. Is formed. Specifically, the numerical index 75c in the left index section 75 represents the speed of the vehicle at a 20 km / h pitch. The numerical index 75c is displayed brilliantly with illumination by the light from the light source 24 for the translucent plate with the background display plate 30 as the background.

  The numerical index 75 c is disposed in a region of the translucent plate 70 that faces the light emission restricting portion 66 of the needle-like portion 64 in the region that faces the movable range of the light emission pointer 60. As a result, the numerical index 75c is visually recognized by overlapping with the light emission restricting portion 66. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the blurring portion 72 is formed so as to avoid a region where the light emission restricting portion 66 is visually recognized by overlapping the scale index 75 a, and the emission of the light source light from the light emission restricting portion 66 is performed. Is regulated. Therefore, since the light emission pointer 60 that overlaps the back side of the numerical index 75 c is suppressed from being emitted and visually recognized, even if the characters represented by the numerical index 75 c overlap the light emission pointer 60, the background display board 30. Is displayed in a highly legible state.

  Thus, while the blurring portion 72 blurs the side surface outline 64a of the light emission indicator 60, the light emission indicator 60 is regarded as being in a state where it is difficult to recognize the presence of the light transmitting plate 70 in an area that is visually recognized overlapping the scale indicator 75a and the numerical indicator 75c. Alternatively, the occupant can visually recognize the background display board 30 as intended.

(Function and effect)
The operational effects of the present embodiment described above will be described again below.

  According to the present embodiment, the blurring portion 72 is arranged to face the movable range of the light emission pointer 60 in the translucent plate 70. In this way, at least a part of the light emission pointer 60 is visually recognized from the viewing side through the blurring portion 72. As a result of the light source light emitted from the light emission pointer 60 being blurred by the influence of the blurring portion 72, the light emission The outline of a part of the pointer 60 is blurred and displayed. Therefore, even when the object pointer 60 is used, it is possible to realize an unprecedented novel appearance by blurring the outline.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, among the regions facing the movable range of the light emission pointer 60, the light emission pointer 60 is provided so as to avoid the region where the light emission pointer 60 is visually recognized by overlapping the indicator portion 75. In this manner, the outline 64b of the light emission pointer 60 can be clearly recognized in a region of the light emission pointer 60 that is not visually recognized by overlapping with the blurring portion 72. Therefore, a portion where the outline 64b is blurred by one pointer 60 and a portion where the outline 64b is clearly visible coexist, and the novelty of the appearance becomes remarkable by contrasting how the outline 64b is shown. . And the indicator part 75 will be instruct | indicated in the part which the outline 64b overlaps with the part visually recognized clearly. Therefore, even if the outline 64b of a part of the light emission indicator 60 is blurred, the indication position of the indicator portion 75 becomes clear, and both a novel appearance and a clear display can be achieved.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the streak portions 73 and the exposed portions 74 are alternately arranged. In this way, the light source light emitted from the light emission indicator 60 is transmitted as it is in the exposed portion 74, while the streak portion 73 has an optical action such as refraction or diffusion on the light source light. The outline of the light emission pointer 60 is visually recognized in a manner different from the exposed portion 74 only at a position where the streak portion 73 that intersects the extending direction ED of the light emission pointer 60 is disposed, so that at least a part of the light emission pointer 60 is observed. The outline is blurred. Therefore, a novel appearance can be realized.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of the streaks 73 are formed in an annular shape, and are arranged in a plurality of concentric circles around the pointer axis AX of the rotating light emitting pointer 60. In this way, even when the light emission indicator 60 is rotated, the same part of the light emission indicator 60 is always blurred and displayed. At the same time, regardless of the position of the light emission pointer 60, the streaks 73 intersect along the circumferential direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction ED of the light emission pointer 60. Therefore, the manner in which the light emission pointer 60 is blurred is not easily changed by the rotation of the light emission pointer 60. That is, even if the light emission pointer 60 is rotated, the novel appearance by the blurring portion can be maintained.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the light emitting unit 67 emits the light source light from the light emission pointer 60 at a place that is visually recognized by overlapping the scale index 75a. Therefore, the light source light emitted from the light emission pointer 60 overlaps the scale index 75a, and the display reading by the scale index 75a is easy. On the other hand, the light emission restricting unit 66 restricts the emission of the light source light from the light emitting pointer 60 at the portion that is visually recognized overlapping with the character index 75b. Therefore, the character index 75b is prevented from overlapping with the light source light, thereby improving the legibility of the character index 75b. Therefore, it is possible to realize a novel appearance by the blur unit 72 while improving the clarity of display.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the indicator portion 75 is provided on the light transmitting plate 70. That is, since the indicator portion 75 is positioned on the viewing side with respect to the light emission pointer 60, the display can be displayed more three-dimensionally, so that the novel appearance can be made exceptional.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the indicator portion 75 is provided by the contour of the sidewalls 76b of the plurality of concave holes 76 forming the indicator shape. Such a concave hole 76 makes the display extremely three-dimensional, so that the novelty of appearance can be made exceptional.

(Other embodiments)
Although one embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not construed as being limited to the embodiment, and can be applied to various embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.

  Specifically, as Modification 1, a configuration other than the spin-tone printing unit can be employed as the blurring unit 72. For example, the blurring unit 72 forms part of the light transmitting plate 70 in a cloudy glass shape by printing the plate surface 70b or 70c of the light transmitting plate 70 with a mat coat or the like, and the light source light emitted from the light emitting pointer 60 is emitted. You may make it give a blurring effect to. Further, for example, the blur portion 72 is formed by arranging a plurality of annular streaks on a concentric circle centering on the pointer axis AX by carving the plate surface 70b or 70c of the translucent plate 70. The light source light emitted from the light emission pointer 60 may be blurred by using unevenness.

  As a second modification, the blurring portion 72 is formed in a region that is visually recognized by overlapping the light emitting portion 67 on the distal end side of the needle-like portion 64, and the scale indicator 75 a of the indicator portion 75 is formed on the needle-like portion 64. You may form in the area | region which overlaps with the light emission part 67 of a base end side, and is visually recognized.

  As a third modification, the indicator portion 75 may be provided by printing on the translucent plate 70 disposed on the viewing side with respect to the light emitting pointer 60.

  As a fourth modification, the indicator portion 75 may be provided by printing on the background display board 30 disposed on the back side of the light emission pointer 60.

  As a fifth modification, the light emitting element 22a disposed on the back side of the background display board 30 illuminates the light transmitting area or the semi-light transmitting area of the background display board 30 so that the background display board 30 has a light emitting pointer. A pattern recognized as a background for 60 or the like may be displayed.

  As a sixth modification, the light emission pointer 60 may be formed in a U shape (a U shape). Specifically, after providing a gap around the translucent plate 70, the proximal end side of the needle-like portion 64 is disposed between the background display plate 30 and the translucent plate 70, and the distal end of the needle-like portion 64. You may make it arrange | position to the visual recognition side rather than the translucent board 70 by making the side wrap around the outer edge part 70a of the translucent board 70. FIG. At this time, the blurring portion 72 may be configured to impart a blurring action to the light source light emitted from the distal end side of the needle-like portion 64 toward the translucent plate 70.

  As a modified example 7, as long as the light emission pointer 60 is configured to move and point to the indicator portion 75, the light emission pointer 60 may be configured to translate linearly instead of rotating about the pointer axis AX.
