Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a display device. For example, when incorporating many operating functions into a device that has a limited size and many operation buttons, such as a transmitter for a remote control device, the electronic circuit can be made relatively small, but the operation section Alternatively, since the function display section naturally has a limit due to the requirement of convenience in use, it is advantageous to have the same operation button handle two or more functions.

In such a case, the present invention attempts to switch the display of the operation button at the same time as switching the circuit, that is, switching the function.

An example of this will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a display film, which includes a common base 1a extending vertically, and a plurality of display parts 1b protruding vertically from the common base 1a.
The display portions 16 are provided at a constant interval from each other, and two types of display characters 2 are formed on the surface by printing or the like. That is, in this case, it has two functions. Further, a plurality of oblique long holes 3 are provided in the common base portion 1a of the display film 1.
4 is a base installed above the display film 1;
A display window 5 is provided corresponding to one of the display characters 2.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a function changeover switch, which is operated in the direction of the arrow and in the opposite direction. Reference numeral 7 denotes a connecting piece that moves up and down in conjunction with the switching of the changeover switch 6, and has a plurality of protrusions 8 that fit into the long holes 3 of the display film 1. Reference numeral 9 denotes a holder for positioning the display film 1 in the vertical direction, and is mounted on the printed circuit board 10 and configured to allow movement of the display film 1 in the left and right directions.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a holder for positioning the connecting piece 7 in the left-right direction, and is mounted on the printed circuit board 10 and configured to allow vertical movement of the connecting piece 7. Further, 12 is an operation button, and 13 is a bottom cover of the housing.

In the above configuration, the illustrated state shows the first position, and one of the display characters "1", "2", etc. corresponding to the first position can be seen from the display window 5. Next, when the changeover switch 6 is operated in the direction of the arrow to switch to the second position, the connecting piece 7 rises in conjunction with this, and since the elongated hole 3 is slanted, the display film 1 moves to the left in the drawing. As a result, the displayed characters "A", "B", . . . corresponding to the second position are confirmed from the display window 5. On the other hand, the displayed characters "1", "2", "3", . . . are hidden by the lid body 4. In this way, according to the present configuration, in conjunction with the switching operation of the function changeover switch 6, the displayed characters 2 can also be switched to the corresponding characters.

In the above embodiment, the case where the number of switching stages is two has been described, but the number of switching stages is not limited to this, and switching of three or more stages is also possible.

As explained above, according to the present invention, when a single operation button is assigned multiple functions, the corresponding display characters can also be displayed in an easy-to-identify manner, and its practical value is extremely great. Furthermore, since a display film is used and the display film and the connecting pieces are configured to move in parallel, the device can be made thin without using a rotating mechanism.
