Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display device suitable for displaying the predicted weather for the next day in a predetermined graphic.

There are various types of devices that graphically display the predicted weather for the next day, but in general, devices that use high-intensity lamps are often used.

However, these have problems such as short lamp life and high power consumption.

Also, if maintenance is not done adequately, the dots that make up the numbers may become missing. The present invention is intended to improve the problems of the conventional display device, and will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the basic concept of this invention, (1)
is a front panel made of opaque plate glass or plastic except for the dots (2) forming the figure;
(3) is a round rod-shaped light guide that forms one dot and one end of which is located at each dot, and is designed so that the light passing through this light guide causes the corresponding dot to shine.

One end of the light guide is fixed to the dot part of the front plate (1), and the other end is located at the light generating device (4).

That is, the light generating device (4) is composed of a light source (for example, a halogen lamp) (5) and a reflector (RBF'LEC'11OR) (61) that reflects the light emitted from the light source (5). , the other end of the optical fiber (3) is located at the focal point of the reflector (6).

Therefore, the power from the power source (7) causes the light source (5) to
When lit, the light enters from the other end of the light guide (3) and reaches one end.

Fig. 2 shows an example of displaying forecasted weather based on the concept as shown in Fig. 1, and here shows an example of displaying forecasts for teams.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of this invention, and in FIG.
1) is a front plate, (3-1) to (3-n) are optical fibers, (4) is a light generator, (5) is a light source, (6) is a reflector, (7) is a power source, (8 -1) to (8-n) are optical switches provided in the middle of each light guide.

A control circuit (9) that selects individual dots selects and controls the next day's predicted weather to be displayed in a predetermined graphic.

By the way, a single display device that combines a light guide, a light source, and two reflectors as in the present invention consumes less power than a conventional display device in which lamps are arranged in a dot shape. Since it is a single unit, maintenance is easy and the cost required for maintenance is low.
