Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus, and more particularly, to an illumination device around a display of a panel thereof. 2. Description of the Related Art An example of a panel of an electronic device having a conventional display will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 and 4
A front glass 2 is fixed to a panel 1 shown in FIG. 1, and an FL (fluorescent) display tube 3 held by a display tube holder 10 is arranged behind the front glass 2. The display tube holder 10 and the LEDs 12, 12,... Are fixed to a printed circuit board 11 fixed to the main body, and the daylighting plates 13, 12 are arranged in front of the LEDs 12, 12,. 13 are arranged. The light emitted from the LEDs 12, 12,...
The surface of the panel 1 is illuminated by being guided to 3, 13,. [0004] In the panel of the above-mentioned conventional electronic equipment, the LEDs 12, 12...
Are arranged around the display tube holder 10, a special space for illumination is required, and it is difficult to illuminate a portion close to the display. .., Which are dedicated parts for light guide, are also required, and there is a problem that the number of parts and the manufacturing cost are increased. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to reduce the number of parts and to illuminate a portion near a display device capable of illuminating a portion close to the display device. It is to provide a device. According to the present invention, at least a part of a display holder for holding a display is formed of a translucent member, and a panel is provided on the display holder. A light guide part of the translucent member reaching the surface is provided, a light source is arranged behind the light guide part, and light emitted from the light source is guided to the panel surface through the light guide part. is there. An illumination device around a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an illumination device around a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. A front glass 2 is fixed to a panel 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and an FL (fluorescent) display tube 3 held by a display tube holder 4 made of a light-guiding member behind the front glass 2. Are located. The display tube holder 4 is fixed to a printed circuit board 5 fixed to the main body. .. Are provided on the surface of the display tube holder 4 facing the printed circuit board 5, and the portions facing the panel 1 from the recesses 4b, 4b are light guide portions 4a, 4a. It is exposed from. LEDs 6 fixed to the printed circuit board 5 are arranged in the recesses 4b. LED
The light emitted from 6, 6,...
a, 4a... illuminate the surface of the panel 1. A tact switch 7 (only one is shown in FIG. 1 but a plurality thereof) fixed to the printed circuit board 5 is arranged at a position distant from the display tube holder 4, and a key 8 is provided at a position facing the tact switch 7. , 8... Are urged by a spring (not shown) and are slidably held by the panel 1. In addition,
A stopper for restricting the moving range of the key 8 is not shown. By pressing the keys 8, 8 ..., the tact switch 7,
7 can be operated to operate the electronic device. Although the embodiment is constructed as described above, the invention is not limited to this. For example, the light guide 4a may be formed by two-color molding so that only the light guide 4a has a light guide property. The material of the light guide portion 4a may be white or smoke material. According to the illumination device of the present invention, it is possible to design the illumination spot close to the display device, and to make the display device feel large. Further, space can be saved, and the degree of freedom in design increases. Further, a lighting plate as a separate component is not required, and the number of components and manufacturing cost can be reduced.
