A signboard is attached to the top of a pillar and placed near the entrance to the gas station.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Information display devices made up of such signboards are brightly illuminated by sunlight during the day, making it easy to read the information depicted there; however, at night, they are illuminated by surrounding lighting,
For example, the information content can only be read within the range illuminated by lights installed in the canopy of a gas station, street lights, or car headlights, and depending on the installation location, it may not be possible to read the information at all.

In addition, even if the lights are illuminated by the lights mentioned above, these lights are not specially designed for illuminating signboards, so it is not possible to obtain sufficient illuminance, and the signboards are illuminated brightly enough that the displayed contents can be clearly understood. That's difficult. Particularly in the case of headlights from a moving car, the illumination time is almost instantaneous, making it difficult to understand the displayed contents.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, to make the display surface bright and shiny, and to make the displayed contents easy to read, especially at night, so that the driver of a car traveling on the road can It is an object of the present invention to provide an information display device that can instantly call attention.

Means for Solving Problem C] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention includes disposing a light source lamp behind a translucent display body such as a display board or a display film provided on the front side of a display case; Alternatively, a light source lamp may be provided behind a translucent display material such as a display board or display film provided on the front side of the display case via a light-transmitting plate that refracts and diffuses, or a light source lamp may be provided on the front side of the display case. The gist of this invention is to provide a transparent body with an opaque portion in the form of a grid pattern on the front side of a transparent display body such as a display board or display film, and to arrange a light source lamp behind it.

[Effect]

According to the invention as set forth in claim 1, the light beam emitted from the light source lamp passes through the translucent display body such as a display board or display film in front of the light source lamp, so that the translucent display body appears bright;
The display is clearly visible even at night.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 2, the light beam emitted from the light source lamp passes through the light-transmitting plate that refracts and diffuses, so that the traveling direction of the light is diffused, and the light rays are transmitted through the light-transmitting display plate in front of the light-transmitting plate. . As a result, the display board appears to shine brightly, as if it were a display device made up of a large number of LEDs, making it even more noticeable.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the light rays emitted from the light source lamp pass through the translucent display body, and then further pass through the translucent body in which the mesh-like opaque portion is formed on the front surface of the display body.
The front side of the translucent display body is in a state of being covered with a mask, suppressing the glare of light rays, and making the edges of the letters and numbers drawn on the display clear and sharp, making them easier to read. At the same time, a mesh pattern appears on the displayed characters, giving it a novel feel and attracting attention.

Then, a light-transmitting plate 8 that refracts and diffuses is arranged behind the display film 18 and configured in the same manner as that in the display section A, and is arranged parallel to the display film 18.
A cylindrical body 10 having a light source lamp 9 disposed therein and colored films lla to lid attached to the circumferential surface was further provided behind the light-transmitting plate 8. In the figure, reference numeral 19 indicates a motor for rotating the cylindrical body 10, and the rotation shaft of the motor 19 and the end of the cylindrical body 10 are connected by a belt 20.

Next, the usage and effect will be explained.

First, to explain the display part A, the display board 6 has numbers "1,""2," and "5" each indicating the unit price of gasoline, for example, 125 yen, at the gas station where the display device is installed.
, 6.6 are fitted into the concave locking portions 5 and fitted into the window holes 4a on the front side of the transparent plate 8.

Then, power is applied to the light source lamp 9 to turn it on, and at the same time, power is applied to the motor 12 to rotate the cylindrical body IO via the belt 13.

This causes the cylindrical body 10 to rotate around the light source lamp 9,
The red, yellow, green, and blue colored films lla to lid attached to the surface of the cylindrical body lO are positioned behind the window hole 4a in order, so that the light emitted from the light source lamp 9 is transmitted to the cylindrical body. When passing through the light beam 10, the light beam changes color in the order of red, yellow, green, and blue, and reaches the transparent plate 8 in front of it, where it is refracted and diffused.

Next, when the colored light beams pass through the transparent plate 8, they hit, for example, beads embedded inside, and are refracted and diffused in various directions.

The scattered colored light rays illuminate the display panel 6 on the front side of the transparent plate 8 from behind, and a portion of the colored light beams is transmitted through the display panel 6. As a result, the display board 6 is bright and sparkling in each color, and appears to shine as if a large number of LEDs are lined up, instantly attracting the viewer's attention.

On the other hand, the display section B shows that the motor 16 is energized and the drum 17 is

In the figure, 28 indicates a motor for rotating the winding shaft 27, and a gear attached to the rotating shaft of the motor 28 is connected to the winding shaft 27.
Connected to 7.

Further behind the display film 18, as a light source lamp, a plurality of fluorescent tubes 29 having colored films 11 of different colors, for example, blue, red, and yellow affixed to the outer surface, are arranged at intervals in the upper and lower rows (as shown in the figure). In the example, a plurality of blinking lamps 30 (three in the illustrated example) are disposed between the upper and lower fluorescent tubes 29 at appropriate intervals in the lateral direction. Note that these blinking lamps 30 were configured to blink up and down.

Next, the usage and effect will be explained.

When you turn on the fluorescent tube 29.29.29 and turn it on,
For example, the upper part of the display film 18 appears blue, the middle part red, and the lower part yellow, and at the same time, the flashing lamps 30 alternately flash up and down, so that out of the different colored light emitted from the adjacent fluorescent tubes 29. The light beam from the flashing lamp 30 further emphasizes the color of the display film 18.

After passing through the display film 18, this light ray passes through a wire mesh 25 in front of the display film 18, at which part of the light rays is blocked from passing through. Therefore, for those who view the display film 18 from the front side, the fine rope patterns appear overlapping, creating a masked state, suppressing the glare of light and allowing the characters to be clearly seen with a calm feeling.

Note that the translucent body with an opaque part in the form of a grid pattern is not limited to the transparent glass plate with a wire mesh attached to the back as described above, but other examples include a transparent glass plate coated with opaque paint, etc. A wire mesh pattern may be drawn directly, or so-called wired glass, in which a wire mesh is incorporated inside a transparent glass plate, may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, since the information display device of the present invention is provided with a light source lamp, it can be easily seen even when installed in a dark place such as at night.
In addition, the display section can be made to shine brightly as if a large number of LEDs are lined up, and the grid pattern can be made to be clearly visible and at the same time give a novel feel.

Therefore, for example, the driver of a car traveling on the road can be alerted instantly, and since it is conspicuous even from a distance, advertising and display effects can be improved.

Further, the structure thereof is simple and can be produced at low cost, and can be applied to existing display devices.
