Etc. can be easily designed.

Further, since the panel can be freely removed, it can be easily changed to a desired design.

Next, in the light-emitting decorative panel of the present invention, the light transmitted from the light source emits light in the void portion of the panel to cause the entire panel to emit light.

The thickness, the number, and the intensity of the light source of the light-guiding fiber to be mounted on the rear panel of the panel are appropriately selected according to the size and purpose of the large outdoor sign, the medium-sized sign, the small tabletop display, the indoor display, etc. select.
Since the light source intensity, blinking, and color can be changed freely, it can be used as an advertising neon sign for both day and night.

Further, the present invention has the following actions.

A braid-shaped light-guiding fiber is inserted into each of the voids of the panel suspended on the horizontal filaments of the mesh fence.

When it is desired to insert the fiber into the lower panel, the fiber is bent and inserted into each void of the panel suspended in the lower panel.

As described above, by inserting the fiber into the void portion of a predetermined panel, one light guide fiber can be connected and used.

Both ends of the fiber inserted into the space as described above are converged on the front surface constituting the color slide portion.

In the present invention, since each light guide fiber is bent at a small angle and leaks light from each bent portion, the light guide fiber having a braided shape, for example, a rope shape or a ribbon shape emits light and is suspended. The entire panel is illuminated.

Further, in the case of the present invention, exposed light guide fibers other than the light guide fibers concealed in the suspended panels, for example, exposed conductors between the panels or in the bent portions. A member that blocks light emission, for example, a tape-shaped member may be wound around or attached to the optical fiber and the exposed light guide fiber between the panel and the light source.

Further, even in the panel in which the light guide fiber is inserted, even if light emission is unnecessary due to the design, a light emission blocking member may be wound or attached to the inserted light guide fiber.
