[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, conventional segment display devices have a limited display capacity and cannot meet a wide range of needs. Furthermore, since the symbols are displayed in fragments, there is a problem in that they are very difficult to read. Furthermore, since each segment making up the display section only emits light in a sheep-colored color, there is a problem in that the display color is gorgeous and lacks aesthetic effect.

An object of the present invention is to provide a segment display device that solves these problems.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The display device of the first invention of this application forms a display part by a large number of segments 1-, and the shape of each segment is changed to a series of various symbols such as 1 character, 2 symbols, etc. by the combination of light emission. It is set so that it is displayed in a line configuration.

Further, it is preferable that the display section is formed of a fluorescent display tube, and the segments thereof emit light in multiple colors.

In a second invention of this application, a display section is formed by a fluorescent display tube, and the segments of the display section are made to emit light in multiple colors.

[Effect]

The display section displays symbols such as letters, numbers, and patterns in a continuous line configuration rather than in fragments, so the display state is natural and easy to see, and the appearance is very beautiful. Furthermore, since each segment of the display section made of a fluorescent display tube emits light in multiple colors, a novel segment display device with an excellent luminous effect can be obtained.
