The light emitting display 10 is provided with guide display portions 3 on both sides of a frame W1, and light L1 and L2 emitted from the guide light emitter 1 which is an LED is incident on the light guide plate 2 and is cut. The light is scattered by the part 21 and emitted as light L3 and L4 on both sides, and the guide display part 3 emits light by passing through the guide display part 3. On the back side of the guide illuminant 1, a reflecting mirror R that reflects leakage light and enhances luminous efficiency is disposed, and a metal fitting M for attachment to the support column P is attached to the frame W1.

  Here, the cutting portions 21 provided on both sides of the light guide plate 2 have the positions provided on the both sides alternately, so that the light L1 and L2 and the like incident on the light guide plate 2 are cut. When the light is scattered and emitted to the outside of the light guide plate 2, the cutting portion 21 on the opposite surface is prevented from interfering with smooth light emission of the guidance display portion 3.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a BB cross section of the solar cell precursor shown in FIG. 1. The solar cell drive unit 20 is provided with a solar cell 4 having solar cells on the upper surface of the frame W2, and further, the storage means 5, which is an electric double layer capacitor, the seismic sensor 6 and the brightness in the frame W2. A control unit 7 including a sensor 71 is accommodated. The electric power generated by the solar cell 4 is stored in the power storage means 5 and supplied to the devices in the solar cell drive unit 20 and is connected to the light emitting display drive unit 10 by the conductor C via the control unit 7. The electric power related to the light emission of the induction light emitter 1 and the internally illuminated sign S is supplied.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a series of operations of the self-luminous guidance device 100. Normally, when the brightness sensor 71 of the control unit 7 detects that it is nighttime, an internally illuminated sign S emits light to provide information drawn to the surroundings. Here, the induction light emitter 1 does not need to emit light, but may be in a light emitting state. When an earthquake occurs and the seismic sensor 6 detects a seismic intensity greater than a threshold value that may turn into darkness due to a power failure, for example, an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 3 or greater, a signal is sent from the seismic sensor 6 to the controller 7 The control unit 7 that receives the signal starts or maintains the power supply to the induction light emitter 1 and causes the induction display unit 3 to emit light. At this time, the control unit 7 supplies power to the induction light emitter 1 and stops supplying power to the internally illuminated sign S to save power and extend the light emission time of the guide light emitter 1. Has been made.
