A display groove portion (3) formed of a narrow groove having a U-shaped cross section corresponding to the line is formed, and an end of the display groove portion (3) and a necessary portion are penetrated through a hole (4) in a thickness direction to form the hole (4). 4) is formed to reach the back side. An EL fiber (5) is embedded in the display groove (3), the EL fiber (5) is inserted into the hole (4), and the end of the EL fiber (5) is pulled out from the hole (4). The lead wire (6) connected to the electrode (5) is connected to connection conductors (7) provided on both upper and lower end surfaces of the box-shaped block (1). The connection conductor (7) is slightly protruded from the upper and lower end surfaces of the box-shaped block (1), and its ends (7a) and (7a) are inserted into through holes of the box-shaped block (1). It protrudes and is held inside the block (1). Further, the display surface (2) of the box-shaped block (1) is covered with a translucent or transparent sheet (8), adhered, and protected by covering the EL fiber (5). Instead of the translucent or transparent sheet (8), a plastic sheet such as acrylic or a glass plate may be used.

A plurality of the box-shaped blocks (1) are combined and held on the block base (10), and the block base (10) has two poles corresponding to the connection conductors (7) of the box-shaped block (1). Plates (11) and (11), and the bipolar plates (11) and (11) are provided with locking portions (12) for fitting box-shaped blocks (1) formed at upper and lower ends of a block base (10). It is formed inside. In the bipolar plates (11) and (11), terminals (11a) and (11a), which are connection portions, are formed outside the back portion (13) of the block base (10), and the electric wires (11b) and (11b) are connected to inverters or the like. Connected to the driving means (15) provided with the above driving circuit. The driving means (15) uses DC or AC power from a dry cell or the like as a power source, and converts the frequency to a target frequency for use. The higher the voltage or frequency of the driving means (15), the higher the brightness of the EL fiber (5).

A long block base (10) for displaying a combination of a large number of box-shaped blocks (1) is formed integrally with an insulator such as plastic and has a U-shaped cross section to engage the box-shaped block (1). A stop (12) is formed at the upper and lower ends of the front part having the U-shaped cross section so that the upper locking part (12a) protrudes downward and the lower locking part (12b) protrudes upward. Then, the box-shaped block (1) is fitted between the back part (13) of the block base (10) and the locking part (12) and locked by the locking part (12). On the upper and lower inner sides of the block base (10), bipolar plates (11) and (11) are provided.

The box-shaped block (1) is slid from both side ends (14) (14) of the block base (10) and locked so that the box-shaped blocks (1) are combined according to a user's idea. However, notches (1a) (1a) are provided at the upper and lower ends of the box-shaped block (1) in the sliding direction, and the display surface (2) of the block-shaped block (1) is engaged with the block base (10). The surface is the same height as the surface of the stop (12). Notches (1a) and (1a) do not necessarily need to be provided, and a structure in which the box-shaped block (1) is slid and engaged may be employed.

In the case where the number of EL fibers (5) constituting one object such as one character is one, as shown in FIG. 2B, two lead wires (6) and two upper and lower connection conductors (7) are used. ) And (7), but when it is composed of two EL fibers (5), as shown in FIG. 3 (b), there are four lead wires (6), and upper and lower connection conductors (7), respectively. ) Connect to (7). For this reason, when the number of characters, symbols, patterns, etc. becomes three or more, they are connected to the upper and lower connection conductors (7), (7) by the number × 2 of lead wires (6). As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of characters or the like may be provided on the display surface (2) of the box-shaped block (1).

As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the EL fiber (5) has a core connected by a driving means (15) via a box-shaped block (1) and a connection conductor (7). An AC voltage is applied between the electrode (51) and the transparent electrode (53) to cause the light emitting layer (52) in the form of a pipe between the electrodes to emit light. It is coated with a transparent coating (55). The EL fiber (5) may be an electroluminescent fiber, and may have not only the structure of FIG. 5 but also a single-layer coating. Electroluminescent fibers are available in seven colors, such as blue and green. Depending on the emission colors, box-shaped blocks (1) of different colors can be simultaneously engaged with the block base (10) and combined. You may.

For example, a light-emitting display body as shown in FIG. 6 showing an example of a display of a sales floor is formed, and a block base (10) is fixed to a display plate with a double-sided tape to form a glowing guide plate.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, a relatively large box box (20) such as a large, medium, or small box may be used, and a driving means (15) having a driving circuit such as an inverter is built in and a display panel (21) is provided. Are provided with a plurality of display grooves (22) constituting characters and patterns, an EL fiber (5) is buried, an end of the EL fiber (5) is pulled out of the hole into a box-shaped box (20), and a lead wire ( A pair of terminals (24) and (24) may be connected at 23), and the terminals (24) and (24) may be connected to the output end of the driving means (15) so that a battery or the like can be built in. . This display panel box-shaped box (20) has a transparent lid (25) made of a plastic plate or the like shown in the front of the display panel (21) and is used for a signboard or the like. Attach to the attachment site with.

The box-shaped box (20) shown in FIG. 7 can be used as a signboard or the like by placing objects of about three kinds in size in an auto center or the like and processing patterns, letters, and the like for order. .
