According to the present invention, in such a torque converter indicator, a translucent reflection sheet 16 having a reflection pattern composed of a large number of black spots is provided on the back surface of the position plate 7.
The part corresponding to the position character depends on the distance from the light source
The reflection pattern of the part corresponding to the light shielding rib
Is larger depending on the distance from the light source.
Then, it is fixed to the back surface of the outer case by heat caulking, and the density of the reflection pattern is adjusted to the portion 16a corresponding to the position character 5.
Is inversely proportional to the distance from the light source, and the portion 16b corresponding to the light shielding rib 15 is proportional to the distance from the light source.

Next, the operation will be described. The light from the light source 2 directly hits the reflection pattern 16a in the portion corresponding to the position character 5 on the translucent reflection sheet 16. Position character 5
The density of the reflection pattern 16a of the portion corresponding becomes smaller with increasing distance from the light source to position characters 5
Irradiated uniformly by transmitted light. The light reflected from the reflection pattern 16b above the light-shielding rib 15 irradiates the pointer 11 and irradiates the indicator window 6 with the reflected light. The density of the reflection pattern 16b corresponding to the light-shielding rib 15 increases as the distance from the light source increases. Since it is large, the reflected light is irradiated uniformly.
