DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, for example,
Various types of display screens used in pachislot machines, throttle machines, portable mini game machines, etc., for example, a pachinko machine that can be provided at a low cost by enlarging a liquid crystal display screen to make it easier to see, and being able to downsize the display screen. The present invention relates to an enlargement device for a screen, a board surface, and other display devices in machines, pachislot machines, various game machines, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, ball game machines such as pachinko machines, pachislot machines, and throttle machines are becoming so-called high-tech, and when a winning ball is found, a liquid crystal display device arranged in a board shape is used. , And various displays corresponding to winning contents and the like are expressed in various modes such as a flash type, a still image type, and a moving image type. In addition, in the case of the liquid crystal display device, the display mode can be easily dealt with and changed by changing the display program or the like so as to be able to cope with variously changing trends, abundant topics, and the like. It is preferred.

[0003]

However, in the case of this liquid crystal display device, since it is expensive, it is difficult to increase the size even if it is arranged in a game machine due to economic restrictions and the like. At present, there is no choice but to display on a small screen. Then, even if the player checks the screen contents, it is difficult for the player to see the screen contents, and the player is easily tired.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.
The gaming machine disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2675 is provided with a lenticular sheet on which a pattern is formed on one of a board surface serving as the surface of the gaming machine and various components, and forms a three-dimensional decoration by a light source disposed on the back surface of the lenticular sheet. It does not enlarge the screen display. A game board for a ball game machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-354951 is designed to obtain electric decoration by transmitting light from a lamp provided behind a base through a decorative board. However, this does not mean that the display of the liquid crystal display device is enlarged for easy viewing. Further, the illumination device for a game machine according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-103542 has a lens portion provided on the surface of the front panel so as to correspond to a light emitting display portion having a light emitting layer formed on the back surface of the light transmitting front panel. The light from the light-emitting layer is condensed, diffused, guided, and the like, and also merely considers the decorativeness similarly to the display member of the above-mentioned game machine, and the display by the liquid crystal display device. It does not magnify the screen.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned various circumstances, and has been developed in recent years, for example, a liquid crystal display device for displaying a prize, which is employed in various game machines, and various displays. The display screen is enlarged to make it easy to see the design, pattern, characters, etc. of the display contents, so that it is hard to get tired even for a long game, and even if the screen size is made small, it can be enough to cope with it Not only that, cost reductions can be achieved, and liquid crystal, light emitting elements, plasma, CR
Apparatus for expanding screens, plates, and other display devices in pachinko machines, pachislot machines, various game machines, and the like, which can be applied to various devices having various types of display devices formed by T, lamps, solid displays, and the like. The purpose is to provide.
