Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is mainly used for instruments such as vehicles, and is a display device that allows multiple displays of different types to be displayed simultaneously on the same display surface. It is related to.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when two displays are mounted on a vehicle as shown in FIG.
For example, digital clocks and the like were arranged in parallel in one housing N, which required a lot of installation space.
It has drawbacks such as being unsuitable for places with limited space.

(Technical Issues) The present invention was developed in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, including the complexity of the arrangement caused by displaying displays on multiple display devices in parallel on different display surfaces. Eliminate the hassle of visibility,
In addition, it is a technical problem to provide a compact display device that eliminates wasted installation space.

(Technical means) In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, this invention uses only the area required for one display.
For example, an analog type display device and a digital type display device can be displayed simultaneously or selectively, and specifically, as shown in the embodiment shown in the drawings (Figs. 2 and 3), the following methods are used. The composition is as follows.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a digital display device employing a fluorescent display tube or the like, and is positioned above a dial, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 2 is an analog display device for indicating a speed display or a hand-type clock.

3 is a dial plate made of a light-transmitting member fitted onto the analog display device 2; a surface S of the dial plate 3;
has a mirror finish, the front surface is light reflective, and the rear surface is light transparent, and the back surface R of the dial 3 has a printed portion 4 that is not transparent and a cutout. A light transmitting portion 5 is appropriately formed by printing, and the light transmitting portion 5 represents characters, numbers, etc.

This dial plate 3 is appropriately installed diagonally below the digital display device 1.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a display lamp located on the back side of the dial 3 of the analog display device 2, and the display lamp 6 is configured to irradiate the back surface R of the dial 3 with light.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a pointer fitted onto a pointer shaft 7A projecting from the analog display device 2.

8 is the eye point.

Therefore, when the illumination of the display lamp 6 is turned on, the digital display device 1 operates, and the display of the digital display section 9 is projected onto the space Q of the dial 3.

(effect) The above technical means works as follows.

First, the light emitted from the digital display device 1 is reflected by the mirror-finished surface S of the dial 3, travels from the direction of arrow A to the direction of arrow B, and enters the eye point 8. Become.

At that time, the viewer should read the analog display and the dial 3 at the same time.
The display on the digital display section 7 projected onto the space Q can be visually recognized.

In addition, in the analog display, the irradiated light from the display lamp 6 installed on the back side of the dial plate 3 passes through the light transmitting part 5, which is a cut-out printed part provided on the back side R of the dial plate 3, and further forms a mirror surface. It passes through the finished surface S and enters the eye point 8, allowing the analog display to be visually recognized.

(Effects) The present invention has the following unique effects.

In particular, it is configured so that two displays can be displayed simultaneously within the area required by one display unit, so it has the advantage of being extremely convenient to use in narrow spaces and can be installed smartly. .

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a display device showing the prior art. 2 and 3 show the present invention, in which FIG. 2 is an overall front view of the display device, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional side view of the display device. 1... Digital display device, 2... Analog display device, 3... Dial board.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The front surface of the dial made of a light-transmitting member of at least one display device among the plurality of display devices is formed into a mirror surface to project another display onto the dial surface of the one display device 2, and the display device A display device characterized in that double display is performed within the same display surface by appropriately displaying 2 itself.
