Description

  The present invention relates to an evacuation guidance utility pole that indicates an evacuation place during a power failure.

  The evacuation guidance sign is unnecessary in the original daily life and is necessary only in the event of a disaster or emergency, so it has been treated as a mama child. However, when viewed as part of disaster prevention measures in the wake of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, it must always be in the eyes of the citizens and must stand out clearly and play a role in an emergency. However, at present, there are few indications that should be clearly guided in a conspicuous place, and display panels illuminated at night are hardly seen.

  The present invention can be used for road signs such as regulatory signs and guide signs; evacuation guidance signs for conducting evacuation guidance in emergency situations; security guide boards for use in sidewalks, etc., with or without lighting equipment ( The present invention relates to a light-emitting information display device that can provide necessary information to a viewer even in the dark at night or in a tunnel due to damage or power failure. Specifically, a retroreflective region having retroreflectivity, an information display body having a phosphorescent light emitting region that emits visible light and is stored and excited by light in a wavelength region including ultraviolet rays, and intermittently on the surface of the information display body The present invention relates to a light-emitting information display device including a light irradiation device that irradiates light in a wavelength region including ultraviolet light periodically or intermittently.

  Conventionally, for example, for road signs installed on the side edges of roads, road safety and traffic control, etc., and for safety equipment worn by people involved in road construction and traffic control, etc. A retro-reflective sheet that reflects toward the surface is used. In particular, for road signs, a retroreflective sheet is pasted on a base plate such as a metal plate, and display parts such as letters, symbols, designs, etc. are applied to the surface by printing or the like. The light source such as a headlight of a vehicle such as an automobile traveling at night or the like is cut out from a retroreflective sheet having a different color and combined and bonded to the base material. It reflects light toward the light source, that is, toward the traveling vehicle, providing excellent visibility to the driver of the vehicle that is the viewer of the sign, and enabling clear information transmission. It has characteristics.

However, these display devices using the retroreflective sheet naturally reflect light only when receiving light from the light source, and exhibit excellent visibility in the direction of the light source. When the place is far away from the light source direction, the visibility is extremely inferior, so it is difficult for pedestrians to see, and even when the vehicle is too close to these signs, observation when the driver sees the signs The excellent visibility can be obtained only under extremely limited conditions, such as the increase in the angle and the remarkable decrease in the visibility. In addition, for example, in a place where a streetlight or light from the surrounding area can hardly be expected with a guide board in a river or a mountainous area, it is always difficult to see even the presence of the guide board itself.
For this reason, in recent years when higher safety and advertising effects have been required, the visibility of conventional retroreflective display devices having only retroreflective performance is insufficient, particularly at night. Thus, there has been a strong demand for an excellent display device that has both visibility when there is no light source or when the light source is limited, and visibility in a direction different from the light source direction.

On the other hand, in order to obtain visibility even when there is no light from the headlight of the vehicle, an internal lighting type display board and an external lighting type display board are also used. However, when used for high-altitude type signs, the signage itself is too large for the internal lighting type display board, and the equipment costs increase, and maintenance such as replacement of the lighting equipment and repair due to breakage is not easy, There is a problem that running costs are expensive because a large amount of electric power is used continuously at night. In addition, there has been a problem that the color boundary of the display section is blurred and characters are crushed, and it has been difficult to accurately express the contents to be transmitted.
On the other hand, in the case of a sign with a large amount of information such as a guide sign, the external display type display board has an advantage that it shows excellent visibility not only in the light source direction but also in viewers other than the light source direction. It is difficult for the driver of the car to identify the contents because of the lack of light quantity at the position away from the sign, and there is also the inconvenience that all the contents are required to be instantly viewed when approaching. .

  Further, a line-of-sight guide sign that emits light (LED) using a solar cell intermittently, and a sign board that emits EL (Electro Luminescence) are also used. The former is excellent in, for example, effectively guiding the line of sight according to the light emission of each point by sequentially emitting points arranged according to the purpose in a high cycle, but for continuous illumination of a wide surface It is unsuitable. In the latter case, the price of the EL element is extremely high, so it takes a lot of money to continuously illuminate a wide surface. As long as a normal EL element is used, this is in line with the shape to be displayed. Since it is difficult to cut the material, there is a problem that the degree of freedom in designing the shape that can be displayed is reduced.

  Some attempts have been made to solve these problems. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-71911, a large number of phosphorescent surfaces made of a phosphorescent material are regularly scattered on a reflecting surface having retroreflectivity on the surface. A road sign having a sign sheet attached to a sign surface is disclosed, and an attempt to attach a phosphorescent sheet using a phosphorescent material to a part of an existing sign is also known.

However, generally speaking, with respect to phosphorescent materials, the light energy stored by daylight begins to decay immediately after sunset, and even the most excellent light energy currently appears to be emitted from the phosphorescent surface two to three hours after sunset. The performance becomes 20 mcd / m ² or less, and the visibility as a sign is lost and the performance as a sign is lost. Therefore, such signs are effective only for 2 to 3 hours after sunset. In mountainous areas where there is no light source in the vicinity, visibility by pedestrians is almost lost after midnight and evacuated. The function as a guide label was quite insufficient. Also, even in a city where a light source from the surrounding area can be expected, if a power failure occurs after midnight due to an accident or disaster, no function as an evacuation sign can be expected after several hours. Thus, in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicle drivers in an emergency, a simple and energy-saving display device that can continuously maintain visibility even after midnight has been demanded.
