The present invention relates to a display device of pachinkogi.

In conventional pachinko corgi, when a certain prize is won, the pattern (number, letter, shape, etc.) of the display device changes, and when a certain pattern is organized at the time of stopping, a large amount of winning or a small amount of winning can be displayed. There is a type called a fever type which is a trademark of Sanko Corp. in Japan.

In the display device used for this type, a display panel is provided inside the display device so as to variably display the pattern on the screen.

In such a display panel, it is desirable that the power consumption is low and structurally compact. In this regard, the liquid crystal display panel is excellent and widely used as a general display panel.

However, since the liquid crystal display panel itself is non-luminous, the screen is dark and there is a problem in that the pattern on the screen is difficult to see due to lack of contrast.

Therefore, even if it is applied to the pachinkogi as it is, the vividness of the displayed pattern is lacking, and the expressive power of the pattern is reduced. Therefore, since the display device is an important element for increasing the interest of the game, some countermeasure is required. Therefore, as a countermeasure, it is desirable to set a backlight light source such as a fluorescent lamp on the back of the liquid crystal display panel.

As a specific example, there is a configuration in which a fluorescent lamp is set as a backlight light source and arranged behind the liquid crystal panel.

However, in such a configuration, since the fluorescent lamp itself is a component that requires space to be installed deep inside, the entire display device becomes a considerable thickness.

For this reason, handling as a display apparatus alone becomes inconvenient, and when it is installed in a pachinkogi, the amount of protrusion to the rear becomes large and there is a possibility that it will hit during transportation.

In addition, since the fluorescent lamp is a linear light source, it is difficult to arrange the fluorescent lamp so that the entire surface of the liquid crystal panel is uniformly irradiated, resulting in uneven luminance.

In the light emission color of the fluorescent lamp, since the display is not a vivid color display, it is never sufficient to make the displayed pattern colorful in color, and it is difficult to be satisfied in that it increases the interest of the game.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a display device having a compact structure and rich in expression power.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a display device mounted on an organic panel of a pachinko group, a transmissive liquid crystal display panel that variably displays a predetermined pattern and a backlight for irradiating the liquid crystal display panel from the back side thereof. The electric luminescence panel (henceforth EL panel) was installed.

According to the above arrangement, since the EL panel becomes a surface light emitting source for the liquid crystal display panel, the contrast between the pattern displayed on the liquid crystal display panel and its background becomes high.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the Example which actualized this invention is described in detail according to drawing.

First, a pachinkogi equipped with a display device will be described with reference to FIG. Various granular spheres are arranged on the organic panel 1, of which (2) to (5) are ordinary granular spheres, while (6) to (8) are patterned with respect to the display device 9 described below. It is a starter that starts the fluctuation. Then, the pattern (three-digit number displayed on the liquid crystal display panel LCP), which is variablely displayed on the display device 9, stops after a certain period of time as a result of winning of one of the start ports (6) to (8). When a certain pattern can be obtained (when the number 7 appears in three rows), the winning state is set to be opened for a predetermined time. It is.

In addition, (11-11) is a pinwheel.

The display device 9 in which the organic panel 1 is disposed almost in the center has a case body 12 as shown in FIG. 1, and the display device 9 has a housing 14 of the case body 12. Is inserted into the mounting hole 13 opened in the organic panel 1, and the whole installation is performed. The housing 14 is formed in the shape of a cylinder that forms an angle opening in both front and rear directions, and a transparent cover plate 15 is fitted from the inside in the front open portion.

In the housing 14, a liquid crystal display panel LCP, which will be described later, and a back light EL panel ELP with respect to the panel LCP are arranged in substantially the same axis. Both panels are mounted on the mounting substrate 16 together, and constitute a display unit as a whole. The mounting substrate 16 is sandwiched between the cover member 17 covering the rear of the housing 14 and the housing 14, and is firmly tightened and fixed by screws or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the liquid crystal panel LCP of the present embodiment forms a liquid crystal cell by sandwiching the liquid crystal 18 into the transparent substrates 19 and 20 at both front and rear sides, and again, on both sides thereof, a polarizing plate ( 21) and the thing of the structure of the TN-node which added (22) are used.

Although not shown in detail, transparent electrodes are arranged on the inner surfaces of the transparent substrates 19 and 20, respectively, in a matrix shape, and the substrate is connected to the conductive connector 23 as shown in FIG. Is connected to the printed wirings on the mounting substrate 16 with the gap between them. The mounting substrate 16 is connected to a control device (not shown) constituted by a microcomputer, whereby the liquid crystal panel LCP is connected to a dot matrix by a command from a control device (not shown). According to the method, predetermined numbers (numbers from 0 to 9) can be displayed.

On the other hand, for the specific structure of the EL panel ELP, as shown in FIG. 5, the three EL panel parts EL1-EL3 so as to correspond to the respective numerical display regions LCP1-LCP3 displayed on the liquid crystal display panel LCP. ) Is installed in a horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 3, each of the EL panel parts EL1 to EL3 is formed by laminating the insulating film 25 on the back surface of the phosphor 24 to the transparent electrodes 26 and 27 on both sides thereof. have. These positive electrodes 26 and 27 are connected to a driving power source (not shown), and emit EL light upon application of voltage. In the present embodiment, for each EL panel component EL1-EL3, ones having different emission colors are used, and in the case of FIG. 5, they are arranged in the order of red and blue yellow from left to right.

In addition, the EL panel ELP is set to a size such that the entire surface of the liquid crystal panel LCP can be illuminated as a whole.

The display device of this embodiment is configured as described above. Therefore, since the backlight which uses the EL panel ELP as an illumination source for the liquid crystal panel LCP is realized, an appropriate display contrast can be obtained on the screen of the display device 9.

As a result, the shape of the pattern is clearly displayed, the display dynamics, and the interest can be increased.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since each number displayed on the liquid crystal display panel LCP is subjected to a background check by a different color, the display may be of interest.

In addition, since the structure does not use a point light source such as a light bulb or a line light source such as a fluorescent lamp as a backlight, but directly uses a surface light source such as an EL panel, conversion to a surface light source is unnecessary. . In addition, by using the surface light source, the display device can be thinned, and uneven brightness can be further loaded. In the case of the present embodiment, since the EL panel ELP is almost the same size as the liquid crystal panel LCP, the luminance is easily uniformized.

Furthermore, since both panels are united by being mounted on the mounting substrate 16, they are convenient for handling or pasting. In addition, the EL panel ELP does not explode as easily as in the case of fluorescent lamps, and has an advantage of not requiring much attention during the knitting operation.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the color classification display of three colors is used, but the monochrome display may be performed using a single EL panel. Further, by interposing a light diffusion plate between the EL panel ELP and the liquid crystal panel LCP, the EL panel ELP can be miniaturized. In addition, the display on the liquid crystal display panel (LCP) may not only be limited to numbers but also letters and the like. For example, in the "winning state", a message such as "winning and congratulations" may be displayed. The display method of the liquid crystal panel LCP is not limited to the dot matrix method but may be a segment method.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the display area of the EL panel ELP is divided into three horizontally, and the number display area LCP1-LCP3 of the liquid crystal display panel LCP is located at the center. Numerical irradiation part EL4 corresponding to) is arrange | positioned, and blinking parts EL5 and 6 are arrange | positioned above and below. In this embodiment, the numerical irradiation section EL4 is always lit, and both flashing sections EL5 and 6 are always off, but when the " winning state " is turned on alternately. In this case, the light emission color of the flashing parts EL5 and 6 may be set to the same color, or different colors may be set. It may also be blinked at the same time.

FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the EL panel ELP is divided into a plurality of horizontal areas T1-TN, and the entire area is always turned on. At the same time, when the "winning state" is reached, the lighting cycle is set in which the lighting state is shifted from the top to the bottom, for example.

However, the present invention is not limited to the division into the horizontal area as in this example, but may be divided into the vertical areas.

In any of the second and third embodiments, the interest of the game can be increased according to the fun of the background change in the "winning state."

)』 문자를 이른바 네거티브(negative)표시로 나타나게 하는 설정으로 되어 있다.8 shows the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the winning state display unit EL7 is provided in the EL panel ELP by the segment method. In this example, the entire surface of the EL panel ELP is always lit, but when it is in the "winning state", the background is turned off, and only the winning state display unit EL7 is turned on, and accordingly, the " Winning

) Is set to make the characters appear in so-called negative display.

In this case, the liquid crystal display panel LCP is in a non-display state, and the characters are transmitted through the panel LCP.

Further, in contrast to this example, the background may be turned on so as to make the winning display unit EL7 turn off only so-called positive display.

The effects of the present invention are as follows.

1) The pattern displayed on the display screen becomes easier to be seen by the organic person by the backlight illumination by the EL panel, and the clearly displayed pattern increases the interest of the game.

2) In addition, since a clear light emission color can be obtained by use of the EL panel, the displayed pattern can be colored in color.

3) Furthermore, since the EL panel is a surface light emitting source, it can contribute to the realization of uniform brightness, and the structure is relatively simple and at the same time thin.
