The light emitting unit 158 emits light through the diffusion sheet 159. Thereby, the center part and the front end side (lower end side) of the 1st fixed shutter part 140 can be light-emitted partially.

  Further, in the second fixed shutter unit 160, when a central light emitting lamp (not shown) of the second fixed side lamp substrate is caused to emit light, light emitted from the central light emitting lamp is transmitted through the second fixed side translucent plate 176, The central light emitting portion 177 of the second fixed side translucent plate 176 emits light. Further, when a band-shaped light emitting lamp (not shown) of the second fixed side lamp substrate is caused to emit light, the light emitted from the band-shaped light emitting lamp is transmitted through the second fixed side light transmitting plate 176 and the second fixed side light transmitting plate 176. The light emitting section 178 emits light through a diffusion sheet (not shown). Thereby, the center part and the front end side (upper end side) of the 2nd fixed shutter part 160 can be light-emitted partially.

By emitting from 343, a light emission effect can be performed.

  The central light emitting member 361 is formed in a decorated block shape using a transparent or translucent resin material.

A lamp opening 373 that exposes the peripheral light emitting effect lamp 383 of the light emitting effect lamp substrate 381 toward the peripheral light emitting member 366 is formed above and below the rear wall portion of the inner cover member 371.

  The holding plate 376 is formed in a plate shape that matches the shape of the rear wall portion of the inner cover member 371 using a resin material. The holding plate 376 is coupled to the rear surface side (back side) of the rear wall portion of the inner cover member 371 using a coupling member (not shown) such as a resin fastener. A light emitting member fixing portion 377 that engages with the central light emitting member 361 inserted through the light emitting member insertion hole 372 of the inner cover member 371 is formed at the center of the holding plate 376. Thereby, the central light emitting member 361 is accommodated and held inside the inner cover member 371 by the holding plate 376. The light emitting member fixing portion 377 is formed in a cylindrical shape protruding forward, and the central light emitting effect lamp 382 of the light emitting effect lamp substrate 381 is exposed toward the central light emitting member 361. On the upper and lower sides of the holding plate 376, a lamp opening 378 that exposes the peripheral light emitting effect lamp 383 of the light emitting effect lamp substrate 381 toward the peripheral light emitting member 366 is formed.

The light-emitting effect lamp substrate 381 is formed in a plate shape that matches the shape of the rear wall portion of the inner cover member 371, and using a coupling member (not shown) such as a resin fastener, the rear surface side (back surface side) of the holding plate 376. ). The light-emitting effect lamp substrate 381 includes a plurality of central light-emitting effect lamps 382 arranged at the center of the front mounting surface and a plurality of peripheral light-emitting effect lamps 383 arranged above and below the mounting surface. . The light emission effect lamp substrate 381 is electrically connected to the effect control unit 405, and performs light emission control of the central light emission effect lamp 382 and the peripheral light emission effect lamp 383 in accordance with the lamp control signal transmitted from the effect control unit 405. A support frame 386 is attached to the back side of the light emission effect lamp substrate 381, and the drive circuit board 391 for driving the liquid crystal display unit 310 is supported substantially parallel to the light emission effect lamp substrate 381 by the support frame 386. .

  The case member 396 is formed of a white resin material that easily reflects light, is formed in a box shape with an opening at the front, and includes an inner cover member 371 that houses the central light emitting member 361 and the peripheral light emitting member 366, a holding plate 376, In addition, the light-emitting effect lamp substrate 381 and the like are accommodated. The case member 396 is coupled to the decorative frame member 311 using a coupling screw 359 so as to cover the back side (rear side) of the liquid crystal display unit 310. Thereby, the light emitting effect part 360 is coupled to the back side (rear side) of the liquid crystal display part 310.

  The effect display device 300 configured as described above has an image display state in which the liquid crystal shutter 336 is in a shielding state and the back lamp 347 of the back lamp substrate 346 is caused to emit light to display an image on the liquid crystal panel 326, and the liquid crystal shutter. 336 is set to a transmission state, and the back lamp 347 is extinguished so that the light emission effect unit 360 can be switched to a light emission effect state. When the effect display device 300 is switched to the image display state, the liquid crystal shutter 336 is switched to a shielding state that blocks the back side of the liquid crystal panel 326, and therefore the central light emitting member 361 and the peripheral light emitting member 366 disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 326 are the liquid crystal shutters. 336 is shielded by 336.

  At this time, since the liquid crystal shutter 336 diffuses light in the shielded state, the light from the back lamp 347 emitted from the emission surface 343 of the light guide plate 341 is diffused by the liquid crystal shutter 336 and reaches the back side of the liquid crystal panel 326. . Accordingly, the liquid crystal panel 326 is uniformly illuminated from the back side (rear side) by the light from the back lamp 347, and an image can be displayed on the screen. Note that light from the back lamp 347 emitted from the emission surface 343 of the light guide plate 341 is diffused when passing through the shielded liquid crystal shutter 336, and thus the pixel pitch of the liquid crystal panel 326 and the uneven surface of the light guide plate 341. Moire caused by the relationship with the uneven pitch at 344 can be prevented.

  On the other hand, when the effect display device 300 is switched to the light emitting effect state, the liquid crystal shutter 336 is switched to a transmissive state in which the back side of the liquid crystal panel 326 can be visually recognized. It is possible to visually recognize the central light emitting member 361 and the peripheral light emitting member 366 arranged on the back side of the light source. At this time, image display is stopped on the liquid crystal panel 326 and the back lamp 347 is extinguished, and the central light emission effect lamp 382 and the peripheral light emission effect lamp 383 of the light emission effect lamp substrate 381 are caused to emit light. Thereby, the light from the central light emitting effect lamp 382 is transmitted and the central light emitting member 361 emits light, the light from the peripheral light emitting effect lamp 383 is transmitted and the peripheral light emitting member 366 emits light, and the central light emitting member 361 and the peripheral light emitting light are emitted. The light emitted from the member 366 enters the back side (uneven surface 344) of the light guide plate 341 and is emitted from the emission surface 343. Therefore, the central light emitting member 361 and the peripheral light emitting member 366 can be clearly seen through the liquid crystal panel 326, the liquid crystal shutter 336, and the light guide plate 341.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the effect display device 300 suppresses moire interference fringes between the light guide plate for a back lamp and the liquid crystal panel used in a general liquid crystal display device. Without providing a diffusion member such as a diffusion sheet disposed on the front side, the liquid crystal shutter 336 is shielded to display an image on the liquid crystal panel 326, and the liquid crystal shutter 336 is transmitted to the light emitting effect unit 360. It is comprised so that it can switch to the light emission effect state which performs a light effect. For this reason, it is possible to perform various effects in which the effect display device 300 is switched between the image display state and the light emission effect state with a thin and simple configuration.
