Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a display device that is attached mainly to the body of an automobile for the purpose of decoration.

[Prior Art] In conventional display devices, the display portion is printed or painted with negative display or positive display, or a display portion formed in the shape of a case is provided on the vehicle body, and a negative display is provided within the display portion. Displays were made by placing a replaceable display panel on the light source surface with a seal coated or printed with a display or positive display.

[Problems that the invention aims to solve] Conventional displays can only display the display pattern specified by the manufacturer at the manufacturing stage, and even if a large number of replaceable display plates are prepared, the display pattern cannot be changed. The problem is that the user's needs cannot be satisfied by the type of display, and the display cannot be displayed according to the user's preference.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides specific means for solving the above-mentioned problems in display devices for automobiles, etc.
The above problems are solved by providing a display device characterized by having a light-shielding sticker with cut lines cut in a grid pattern affixed to a transparent or semi-transparent display surface using an EL light emitter as a surface light source. It is something.

[Example] Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 shows a display device according to the present invention, which uses an EL (electroluminescence) light emitter 2 that emits light in response to the output from an inverter 1 that is connected to a power source and converts the frequency as a surface light source, and is a transparent or translucent member. Fit it into the case 3 formed into an appropriate shape,
By fitting the lid part 4 of the case, which is separate from the case 3 and made of a suitable material, the EL
This is for fixing the light emitter 2. A light-shielding sticker 5 with cutting lines cut in a grid pattern is pasted on the entire surface of the display surface 3a of the case, and the light-shielding sticker 5 can be peeled off individually for each square, and the display surface 3a of the case can be peeled off individually. Light from the EL light emitter 2 leaks from the portion where the light shielding seal 5 of 3a is peeled off. The portions of the case other than the display surface 3a are opaquely painted or printed to prevent light from leaking.

FIG. 2 shows a display device in which the grid of the light-shielding seal 5 is peeled off to display an arbitrary display.

On the display surface 3a of the case, a negative display is made by peeling off each square of the light-shielding seal 5 in a portion corresponding to an arbitrary display; By leaving only the squares and removing the other squares for positive display, it is possible to use negative display and positive display properly, thereby obtaining various display patterns.
In addition, a more beautiful display can be achieved by making the cut lines of the light-shielding seal 5 finer, or by inserting diagonal cut lines in each of the squares.

[Effects of the invention] By attaching a light-shielding sticker with cut lines in a grid pattern to the entire display surface, the user can create a highly original display by peeling off the grid of the light-shielding sticker that corresponds to the desired display. Moreover, despite the increased freedom of expression, the structure is simple and the cost is low, which is an excellent effect.

Furthermore, by using an EL light source as a light source,
This also provides the advantage that the display device can be made thin and display can be performed with low power consumption.
