Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described the side lighting structure and effect of the channel sign according to the present invention.

The channel sign according to the present invention is commonly used as a zannel, which is a sign in the form of a letter, and refers to a display material manufactured by giving a three-dimensional surface to a base side with a galva steel plate or a stainless steel plate or a mailing plate, and including a light source in the channel sign. And the like can be applied.

[First of the present invention Example  Side lighting structure of channel sign according to

1 is a cross-sectional view (A) and a side view (B) of a channel sign having a side lighting structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the structure of the channel sign according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the front plate 112 made of a synthetic resin or the like having a light source module 111 (hereinafter described with an LED) inserted therein and formed therein. ), A back plate 113 made of a material such as metal, and both side plates 114.

The LED module may include a printed circuit board, at least one LED firmly attached to the printed circuit board, and wires connected to both sides of the printed circuit board to apply power.

The front plate 112 may mainly use a light transmissive synthetic resin, and the light transmissive synthetic resin may be PC, acrylic, PET, or the like.

The side plate 114 is formed to have a predetermined width, and forms the side of the main body of the channel sign according to the outer shape such as letters or symbols according to the characteristics of the channel sign.

The side plate 114 is formed by an extrusion process of the upper metal plate 115 and the lower metal plate 116 together with a synthetic resin (light diffusing resin layer 117) containing a light diffusing material.

The light diffusing material is added to synthetic resins such as acrylic resin and polycarbonate resin, and used to scatter transmitted light or amplify reflected light.

With the convenience of being able to be equipped with durability.

At this time, the light diffusing resin is preferably extruded to be translucent for metering. The reason is that when the coating is made in an appropriate thickness after being extruded, the translucent state is almost translucent so that the steel surface is almost invisible from the outside, and only illumination is transmitted to make it more refined. It becomes possible to produce aesthetic lighting.

The color sheet 120 for illumination may be attached to the inner and outer surfaces of the side plate 114 so that the color of the light irradiated from the light source 111 increases the external recognition and enables the production of more various side colors.

The light irradiated from the light source 111 can be recognized from the outside through the front plate 112, and at the same time the light is diffused through the photometric transparent portion 121 of the side plate 114 by the illumination color sheet 120 Regardless of the color of the light source inside, it is possible to produce a desired color effect.

In addition, the side portion of the back plate 413 based on the light is emitted only to the rear side, the front end portion of the non-photometric rear end is capable of a variety of color metering is possible to produce a variety of backlighting.

[Fifth of the Invention] Example  Side lighting structure of channel sign according to

5 is a cross-sectional view (A) and a side view (B) of a channel sign having a side lighting structure according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the structure of the channel sign according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention includes a light source 511 module inserted therein, a front plate 512 made of synthetic resin, and a material such as metal. It comprises a back plate 513 and both side plates 514.
