Since it is not necessary, such color change can be easily applied.

In addition, an intermediate plate 110 is interposed between the front light guide plate 120 and the rear light guide plate 130, and the intermediate plate 110 is formed on the second front decorative portion 122 B formed on the front light guide plate 120 and the rear light guide plate 130. A transparent portion 112 corresponding to the rear side decorative portion 132 is formed. For this reason, among the light emitted to the front side of the rear light guide plate 130, the light emitted from the rear side decoration part 132 is the transparent part 1
12 can reach the front light guide plate 120 easily. On the other hand, the light emitted from the portion on the front side of the rear light guide plate 130 other than the rear side decorative portion 132 is prevented from reaching the front light guide plate 120 by the intermediate plate main body 111. For this reason, since the light of the back side decoration part 132 equivalent to the shape of the 2nd front side decoration part 122B can be suitably made to reach the front light guide plate 120, the decoration of the decoration character of "&" of the 2nd front side decoration part 122B Sex can be further enhanced.

Further, the middle plate main body 111 is larger than the rear light guide plate 130, and the periphery of the transparent portion 112 in the middle plate 110 is colored, for example, black, and is set as the middle plate main body 111 for suppressing light transmission. There is. Therefore, while the light emitted from the portion on the front side of the rear light guide plate 130 other than the rear decoration portion 132 is reliably suppressed by the intermediate plate main body 111, the front light guide plate 1
The light emitted to the rear of 20 can be reflected to the side. Therefore, front light guide plate 1
The amount of light emitted from the front side of 20 can be increased, and the contrast between the second front decorative portion 122B in the front decorative portion 122 and the first front decorative portion 122A and the third front decorative portion 122C is made clear It can be made easy.

Further, a back plate 150 is provided on the rear side of the rear light guide plate 130. The back plate 150 is
Since the light is colored, for example, red, light leakage of the light emitted to the rear side of the rear light guide plate 130 can be suppressed, and the light can be suitably reflected. Therefore, the amount of light emitted from the front side of the rear light guide plate 130 can be increased. In addition, since red gives a more colorful impression than black, the back of the first front decoration 122A and the third front decoration 122C is black, while the back of the second front decoration 122B is red Because there is a second front decoration 122B
Can be colored more colorfully. Thus, the color of the back plate 150 is the second front decoration 12
The color of the decoration character of "&" equivalent to 2B is affected as a specific color. For this reason, since the back plate 150 combines the functions of light leakage and light emission of a specific color, the number of members can be reduced, which can contribute to cost reduction.

Further, the plurality of dimples 132A formed in the rear side decorative portion 132 are formed more densely in the higher position. The light introduced into the rear light guide plate 130 is emitted from the plurality of LEDs 161 L mounted on the lower substrate 161 disposed below the rear light guide plate 130, so LE
The light emitted from D 161 L is less likely to reach a higher position than the lower position of the rear light guide plate 130. For this reason, there is a concern that the high position of the rear light guide plate 130 will be darker than the low position, but the dimples 132A are densely formed at the high position in the rear decorative portion 132, the light of the high position The brightness can be greater than at low positions. Therefore, the rear decorative portion 132 can emit light substantially uniformly in the height direction.

In addition, the knurled portion 122R is formed at the back position of the "&" decorative character of the second front decorative portion 122B, and the knurled portion is not formed in the lower straight portion 122N. The light introduced into the front light guide plate 120 is emitted from the plurality of LEDs 161L mounted on the lower substrate 161 disposed below the front light guide plate 120, so the light emitted from the LEDs 161L travels in the vertical direction . Here, in the front decorative portion 122, a portion extending in the vertical direction has a component formed along the traveling direction of the light emitted from the LED L, and therefore, there is a concern that it is difficult to reflect light. In this respect, the second front decoration is formed by forming the knurled portion 122R at the position of the back that forms a curve or a straight line having a component extending in the vertical direction of the decoration character of "&" of the second front decoration 122B. The light emitted from the LED 161L can be suitably reflected at the back position of the decoration character of “&” of the part 122B. Therefore, the said part can be made to light-emit suitably, and the decoration character of "&" of the 2nd front side decoration part 122B and also the whole front side decoration part 122 can be made to light-emit uniformly.
