Description of the Related Art As this instrument device, there is known a type in which a panel body arranged corresponding to a pointer is made to emit light by a light source arranged behind it. As for the light emission form of the panel body, both the display unit and the background emit light, and the type that the display unit such as scales and characters emits light but the background does not emit light, and the type that the display unit does not emit light but the background emits light. It can be roughly divided into three types. However, many of the panel bodies are nothing more than plate materials on which the display portion and the background thereof are printed, and even if the panel material is illuminated from behind, the appearance itself is inevitably flat.

鮮さが乏しいという側面もある。However, the measuring device described in the above publication deals only with the adjustment printing of the transmitted light on the panel body, and the member itself through which the light is transmitted is still a normal plate material. Therefore, there is a limit in obtaining a sufficient depth and stereoscopic effect. In addition, because it gives a sense of depth and stereoscopic effect only by the intensity of light, it has the aspect of lacking novelty and freshness in appearance.

Since the light source 6 and the common lighting room 9 are used to illuminate the same, the illuminating means can be shared and the cost can be reduced. It should be noted that the illumination means for illuminating the uneven pattern portion 123 and the illumination means for illuminating the display portion 114 may be separately provided. By doing so, the illumination color of the uneven pattern portion 123 and the display portion 114 is restricted. The size can be reduced, the degree of freedom of the illumination color can be improved, and the uneven pattern portion 123
Then, it is possible to display the display section 114 in a staggered manner in a predetermined order.

置に配置するのが望ましい。Although not adopted in the present embodiment, for example, a transmission plate whose color or transmitted light intensity changes according to the plane direction is provided between the illumination chamber 9 and the light transmission body 12, and this transmission plate is used. Alternatively, a gradation pattern depending on the intensity of color or light may be displayed so as to overlap the three-dimensional pattern M. Further, the display part 114 or a part thereof may be provided on the transmission plate, but in this case, it is desirable that the display part 114 is arranged at a position outside the three-dimensional pattern M.

3D is arbitrary as long as a three-dimensional pattern can be formed. For example, as a second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, it is set in an uneven pattern portion 123 having a regular corrugated cross-sectional shape. Alternatively, as a third embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, an uneven pattern portion 123 having an irregular uneven cross section may be set.
