The present invention relates to a signboard configured so as to be displayed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a signboard is provided directly on a wall of a building or a building. Then, in the signboard, a milky white translucent flat plate with a pattern or characters displayed on the front surface is provided on the front surface, and by illuminating from the back side, a bright display that is easy to attract the observer's eyes appears, so-called Many interior-illuminated signboards are also used.

[0003] In addition to such flat signs that can be viewed only from the front, such internally illuminated signboards include, for example, stand-alone signboards that are placed in front of a store or the like and that can be viewed from both the front and rear, for example. Such as a three-dimensionally shaped wall-mounted signboard that is installed at the eaves or the space between the eaves and can be observed from diagonally forward,
There are various forms. And these three-dimensional signboards, for example, using a light-transparent milky white translucent synthetic resin plate (milk halfplate) and the like, to form a signboard face material of a desired shape by means such as vacuum molding or blow molding, For example, it is usually formed by fitting it into a frame made of metal or the like.
