Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a structure for introducing light from an illumination light source of an edge light display when a display such as a game machine is relatively multiple-displayed and a multi-type display is used in combination.

[Prior art]

FIG. 3 shows an example of a structure for introducing light into the edge light display 92 provided on the front surface of the background 91 of this type in the related art, and the background 91 is formed by printing on a transparent film, for example. The substantially entire surface is semi-transparent, and is displayed by illumination from the back surface by the transmissive light source 93, and the edge light display 92 is on the back surface side of the transparent substrate 92a in the viewing direction, for example, printing, Displayed content 92b with line markings and dot markings
The display content is formed by introducing light from the irradiation light source 94 from the end surface 92c of the transparent substrate 92a.
Only 92b is illuminated and displayed by the internal reflection, whereby the display content 92b is superimposed and displayed on the front surface of the background 91. At this time, if a sufficient distance cannot be obtained between the background 91 and the edge light indicator 92, for example, the illumination light source is used.
By using the housing 94a of 94 or the like, the reflecting surface 95 is connected to the end surface 9
The structure is provided in the vicinity of 2c to introduce the light from the irradiation light source 94 through the reflecting surface 95.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, the housing 94a and the like described above are normally formed in black for the purpose of preventing unnecessary internal reflection, and the housing 94a has a reflective surface 95a.
In order to provide the step, it is necessary to perform a two-step molding in which the corresponding part is white, a white coating, a metal plating, or an aluminum tape is adhered, whichever is time-consuming step. However, this causes a problem that the production efficiency is lowered and the cost is increased, and it has been a problem to solve this problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

As a concrete means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides an edge light indicator on the front surface of a printing film which constitutes a background, and illuminates the edge of the edge light indicator via a reflecting surface. In the illumination structure of the edge light display in which the light from the light source is introduced, the reflective surface is formed by extending a portion other than the background of the print film, and the reflective surface is the same as the printing of the background. By providing an illumination structure of an edge light display, characterized in that white or silver-colored print is applied on the surface,
The conventional problem is solved.

【Example】

Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 denotes an edge light display device (hereinafter abbreviated as display device 1). This display device 1 is a transparent substrate on which a display content 1b is formed on the back side of 1a by, for example, printing. The display content 1b is displayed by introducing light from the end face 1c of the transparent substrate 1a, and the display 1 approaches the background 2 formed of, for example, a printing film. The arrangement is the same as the conventional example in that the light cannot be directly introduced from the illuminating light source 3, but the reflecting surface 4 for introducing the illuminating light to the end face 1c is formed by the present invention. It is formed using the background 2. Hereinafter, the reflective surface 4 will be described in more detail. The reflective surface 4 is the end surface 1c of the display 1 on the background 2.
Is formed by extending the portion corresponding to (1), and the extension amount is such that the light from the illumination light source 3 is reflected and is extended enough to reach the end face 1c. At the same time, in order to improve the reflection efficiency, the portion which is extended as described above to form the reflecting surface 4 is colored white or silver as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Is performed by printing on the same surface at the same time in the printing process of the background 2. That is, according to the present invention, since the reflecting surface 4 is integrated with the background 2, a member for forming the reflecting surface 4 which is conventionally required such as an aluminum tape for reflection is not necessary. To do. In addition, since the background 2 is formed by printing on the same surface as the printing of the background 2, the printing process is not particularly complicated when the background 2 is integrated. Further, in the assembling process, the attaching of the reflecting surface 4 is completed at the same time in the attaching process of the background 2. Therefore, as is the case with the conventional example, complicated work such as attaching an aluminum tape for reflection to the extremely narrow portion of the housing or painting is unnecessary, and a simple assembling work is performed. Only by doing so, the reflecting surface 4 is naturally formed.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the corresponding portion of the background is extended, and the extended portion is subjected to the printing process of the background to simultaneously perform the printing for improving the reflectance on the same surface to form the reflecting surface. By adopting the illumination structure of the light display, the reflecting surface is integrated with the background, and members for forming this reflecting surface are not required, and printing is performed on the same surface as the background. By doing so, the integration can be performed without causing the process to be complicated, and even in the assembly process, the installation can be completed at the same time as the installation of the background, and the complicated steps for forming the reflective surface can be omitted at all. It has an excellent effect on productivity improvement and cost reduction.
