【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明は、光線を使用する表示装置に関するものである
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display device that uses light beams.
表示装置には、表示板に文字１図形等を単に描いただけ
のもの、フィラメント、ダイオード等の発光体を表示素
子としこれを配列したもの及び反転線を表示素子として
用いるもの等数多くの種類があるが夜間でも明瞭に観取
できるためにはある程度強力な光源を必要としいわゆる
ネオンサイン等構造複雑で高価なものが多い。There are many types of display devices, including those that simply draw a character or figure on a display board, those that use light emitters such as filaments and diodes as display elements, and those that are arranged in an array, and those that use inverted lines as display elements. In order to be clearly visible even at night, a fairly powerful light source is required, and many of the structures, such as so-called neon signs, are complex and expensive.
本発明の目的は、昼間のみならず夜間でも明瞭に観取で
き、しかも構造簡単で容易に操作でき製造費、維持費が
共に安価ですむ表示装置を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a display device that can be clearly viewed not only during the day but also at night, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has low manufacturing and maintenance costs.
しかしてこの目的は本発明によれば、光線導出部の背後
に光源を設けた表示素子を複数個配設することにより達
成される。However, according to the invention, this objective is achieved by arranging a plurality of display elements each having a light source behind the light beam guide.
以下、図面について本発明の表示装置の実施例を詳細に
説明する。Embodiments of the display device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
第１図は本発明の表示装置の実施例を示す正面図、第２
図は同上縦断側面図で、この表示装置は表示素３−１０
をケース１にｕ字状に７個配設したもので・ケース１の
前面に開口２を形成し、該開口２の背後に光源３を配設
し、光源３から開口２に至るまでの間を反射板４でＩｄ
い、光線導出価とし、また前記開口２前面に例えば赤色
のフィルター５を取付ける。FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the display device of the present invention, and FIG.
The figure is a vertical side view of the same as above, and this display device has display elements 3-10.
Seven of these are arranged in a U-shape in a case 1. An opening 2 is formed in the front of the case 1, a light source 3 is arranged behind the opening 2, and the distance from the light source 3 to the opening 2 is Id with reflector 4
For example, a red filter 5 is attached to the front surface of the aperture 2.
図中６は、前記開口２を覆う蓋であり、この蓋６は一側
に磁性体よりなる突片６ａを形成し、他側を例えば蝶番
７で回動自在にケース１に取付けた。この蓋６の閉位置
で突片６ａが当接するケース１に磁石８ａを設け、また
開位置で突片６ａが当接するケース１に磁石８ｂ及び光
源３のスイッチ９ａを設ける。In the figure, 6 is a lid that covers the opening 2, and this lid 6 has a protruding piece 6a made of a magnetic material formed on one side, and is rotatably attached to the case 1 on the other side with a hinge 7, for example. A magnet 8a is provided on the case 1 that the protrusion 6a abuts when the lid 6 is in the closed position, and a magnet 8b and a switch 9a for the light source 3 are provided on the case 1 that the protrusion 6a abuts on the lid 6 in the open position.
このようにして光源３、開口２、反射板４、赤色フィル
ター５及び蓋６とで表示素子１０を構成し、この表示素
子１０をケース１の前面に口字状に７１１１ｉ１配設し
て例えば０から９までの数字や文字、図形の表示を行う
ようにした。In this way, the light source 3, the aperture 2, the reflector 4, the red filter 5, and the lid 6 constitute the display element 10, and the display element 10 is disposed in the shape of an opening 7111i1 on the front surface of the case 1. It now displays numbers, letters, and figures from 9 to 9.
さらに、第２図に示すようにケース１の裏面にも開口２
を形成し、光源３を共用するようにして表示素子１０を
前面と同様に配設して両面使用可能のものとする。また
、Ｍ６の開位置で当接する光源３のスイッチ９ｂを設け
、第３図に示すように前面のスイッチ９ａと裏面のスイ
ッチ９ｂとの並列接続回路を光源３に直列に接続したも
のをそれぞれの表示素子に設ける。このＭ６ば前記のよ
うに開閉式のものに限らず、スライドさせるようにした
ものでもよい。Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
The display element 10 is arranged in the same manner as the front surface so that the light source 3 is shared, so that it can be used on both sides. In addition, a switch 9b of the light source 3 is provided which contacts the M6 in the open position, and as shown in FIG. Provided on the display element. This M6 is not limited to the opening/closing type as described above, but may be a sliding type.
このようにして本発明の表示装置Ａを構成するが、例え
ば第４図に示すように、脚１３を取イ【ｊけたパネル１
１にこの表示装置へを３個並べて組込んで給油所でのガ
ソリン単価表示用の価格表示装置１２とすることもでき
る。In this way, the display device A of the present invention is constructed. For example, as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to form a price display device 12 for displaying the unit price of gasoline at a filling station by incorporating three of these display devices in a row.
次に動作及び使用法について説明すると、表示がなされ
ていない不使用時は蓋６は閉じて開口２を覆い、突片６
ａが磁石８ａに吸着されて閉状態が保持されている。こ
の状態ではスイッチ９ａ。Next, to explain the operation and usage, when the lid 6 is not in use and there is no indication, the lid 6 is closed to cover the opening 2, and the protrusion 6 is closed.
a is attracted to the magnet 8a and maintained in the closed state. In this state, switch 9a.
９ｂは開いているので光源３には通電されず消灯してい
る。Since 9b is open, the light source 3 is not energized and is turned off.
数字表示を行う場合は、表示しようとする数字の形状に
該当する個所の表示素子１０のＭ６を蝶番７を介して手
で開けば、突片６ａがスイッチ９ａ “（裏面の場合ば
９ｂ）を押してこれを閉じるので光源３に通電され、光
ｔＡ３は点灯する。光源３から発する光線ば反射板４で
反射され赤色のフィルター５を介して外に投光されるの
で、開口２は全体が均一的に赤く輝いて見え、また光源
３が外から直接見えるわけではないのでまぶしいことも
ない。When displaying numbers, when the M6 of the display element 10 corresponding to the shape of the number to be displayed is opened by hand via the hinge 7, the protruding piece 6a opens the switch 9a'' (or 9b in the case of the back side). When you press it to close it, the light source 3 is energized and the light tA3 lights up.The light rays emitted from the light source 3 are reflected by the reflector plate 4 and projected outside through the red filter 5, so the entire aperture 2 is uniform. It appears to be shining red, and since the light source 3 is not directly visible from the outside, there is no glare.
なお、この状態では突片６ａば磁石８ｂに吸着されてＭ
６の開状態が保持され、また光源３は表裏面の表示装置
１０に共用できるので節電に役立つ。In this state, the protrusion 6a is attracted to the magnet 8b and the M
6 is maintained in the open state, and the light source 3 can be shared by the front and back display devices 10, which helps save power.
このようにして表示装置Ａごとに所望の数字形状に合致
する位置の表示素子１０を点灯させて、第４図に示すよ
うな装置では例えばガソリン単価として１６０円の価格
表示を行うものである。In this way, the display elements 10 at positions corresponding to the desired numeric shape are lit for each display device A, and the device shown in FIG. 4 displays, for example, a unit price of 160 yen for gasoline.
また、表示素子の他の実施例として第５図に示すように
、フィルター５の代わりに例えば半透明赤色のプラスチ
ックからなる両端を山形にすぼめた半円筒状の表示体１
４を用い、蓋６の代わりに不透明プラスチックからなる
閉塞板１５を用いることもできる。As another embodiment of the display element, as shown in FIG. 5, instead of the filter 5, a semi-cylindrical display body 1 made of translucent red plastic, for example, with both ends narrowed into a chevron shape is used.
4, and a closing plate 15 made of opaque plastic can be used instead of the lid 6.
この表示体１４は第６図の裏面図に示すように、別体と
し゛ζ独立し４隅近くに係止用突片１４ａが形成されて
おり、該突片１４ａはケース１′の開口２′周縁に形成
した凹部２ａとそれぞれ着りｌ自在に嵌合し、取（＝Ｊ
の際は表示体１４をわずか押しつぶし変形させた状態で
開口２′内に挿入する。As shown in the rear view of FIG. 6, this display body 14 is a separate body and has locking protrusions 14a formed near the four corners. They are freely fitted into the recesses 2a formed on the periphery, and removed (=J
In this case, the display body 14 is inserted into the opening 2' in a slightly compressed and deformed state.
閉塞板１５も、表示体１４と同様に別体とし゛ζ独立し
４隅近くに係止用突片１５ａが形成されたもので、゛開
口２′内への取（＝Ｊ方法も表示体重４の場合と同様で
あるので説明を省略する。The closing plate 15 is also a separate body similar to the display body 14 and has locking protrusions 15a formed near the four corners. Since this is the same as in the case of , the explanation will be omitted.
このような表示体１４．閉塞板１５よりなる表示素子１
０′を使用すれば、表示部分が突出するので立体的なも
のとなり、正面のみならず斜方向から見た場合でも、表
示状態の表示素子と非表示状態の表示素子とをはっきり
と区別できる。Such a display body 14. Display element 1 consisting of occlusion plate 15
If 0' is used, the display portion protrudes and becomes three-dimensional, and the display element in the display state and the display element in the non-display state can be clearly distinguished not only when viewed from the front but also from an oblique direction.
以上述べたように本発明の表示装置は、背後の光源から
の光線を光線導出部に導いて表示を行うものであるので
、構造が簡単で、表示動作を確実に行うことができ、し
かも夜間でも明瞭に表示できるものである。As described above, the display device of the present invention performs display by guiding the light rays from the light source behind the light source to the light beam guiding section, so the structure is simple, the display operation can be performed reliably, and the display device can be used even at night. However, it can be displayed clearly.
