Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the charge management by devising the display device such that a bar pattern is displayed in response to the communication charge and at least part of the bar pattern is lighted or blinked in red or green or the like. CONSTITUTION:A bar pattern 8 of a liquid crystal display panel 6 is displayed attended with the increase in the communication charge and a bar pattern 8a is displayed when the communication charge exceeds a limit. Then a light emitting diode 18 is lighted by a circuit provided onto a printed circuit board 9 simultaneously and its light is led from the window hole of a light diffusion preventing plate 10 used in common for a spacer and the part of the bar pattern 8a is lighted in red or green. Thus, the display of the charge is made clear and the user can recognize the display of the bar pattern visually easily and surely.
