Description

本発明は、光源を有する装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a device having a light source.

従来、光源を有する装置の一例として、椅子と発光装置とを組み合わせた構成が提案されている。例えば、特許文献１（特開平９−２５２８７５号公報）には、椅子の背もたれの背面に発光表示される電飾看板を備えた電飾看板付椅子が記載されている（請求項１、図１〜４等参照）。特許文献１にはまた、椅子の背もたれおよび肘掛けの上面にフラッシュライトなどの発光体を組み込んだ構成（請求項５、図５等参照）が記載されている。 Conventionally, as an example of a device having a light source, a configuration in which a chair and a light emitting device are combined has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-252875) describes a chair with an illuminated signboard having an illuminated signboard luminescently displayed on the back surface of the backrest of the chair (Claim 1, FIG. 1). See ~ 4 etc.). Patent Document 1 also describes a configuration in which a light emitting body such as a flashlight is incorporated in the backrest of a chair and the upper surface of an armrest (see claims 5, FIG. 5, etc.).

特開平９−２５２８７５号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-252875

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載されているように椅子の背もたれの背面や、背もたれと肘掛けの上面にのみ発光装置を配置する態様では、椅子の全体に占める発光部分の位置や範囲は限定的なものであり、特に座面の発光については何ら考慮されておらず、また、発光装置からの発光の態様は従来通りのものであり、なお発展や改良の余地があった。 However, in the embodiment in which the light emitting device is arranged only on the back surface of the backrest of the chair or the upper surface of the backrest and the armrest as described in Patent Document 1, the position and range of the light emitting portion in the entire chair are limited. In particular, no consideration was given to the light emission of the seat surface, and the mode of light emission from the light emitting device was the same as before, and there was still room for development and improvement.

本発明は上記課題に鑑み、光源を有する装置における光源の新規な利用の態様を提供することをその目的の一つとする。また、光源を有する装置の新規な発光の態様を提供することを本発明の目的の別の一つとする。 In view of the above problems, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a new mode of use of a light source in a device having a light source. Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel mode of light emission of a device having a light source.

本発明の発明者らは上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討を重ねた結果、以下のように本発明の各局面に想到した。
すなわち、本発明の第１の局面に係る装置は、導光性材料からなる棒状部材と、第１の光源と、第２の光源と、を有する装置であって、第１の光源からの光は棒状部材の側面の第１の領域に照射され、第２の光源からの光は棒状部材の側面の第２の領域に入射し、第１の領域と第２の領域は棒状部材の長手方向において互いに異なり、第２の光源からの光は棒状部材の端面から出射する。
このような構成によれば、第１の光源から発せられて棒状部材の側面の第１の領域において反射された光は棒状部材の側面の発光として視認され、第２の光源からの光のうち棒状部材の側面の第２の領域に入射し棒状部材の端面から出射した光は棒状部材の端面の発光として視認される。こうして、棒状部材の側面を発光させるための光源と、棒状部材の端面を発光させるための光源とが別の光源となっていることで、例えば、棒状部材の側面と端面とをそれぞれを異なる輝度、色、パターン等の態様で発光させることが可能となる。このように、本発明の第１の局面による装置は新規な態様の発光を実現できる。 As a result of diligent studies to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention have arrived at each aspect of the present invention as follows.
That is, the device according to the first aspect of the present invention is a device having a rod-shaped member made of a light-guiding material, a first light source, and a second light source, and the light from the first light source. Is irradiated to the first region of the side surface of the rod-shaped member, the light from the second light source is incident on the second region of the side surface of the rod-shaped member, and the first region and the second region are in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped member. The light from the second light source is emitted from the end face of the rod-shaped member.
According to such a configuration, the light emitted from the first light source and reflected in the first region on the side surface of the rod-shaped member is visually recognized as the light emitted from the side surface of the rod-shaped member, and among the light from the second light source. The light incident on the second region on the side surface of the rod-shaped member and emitted from the end surface of the rod-shaped member is visually recognized as light emission from the end surface of the rod-shaped member. In this way, the light source for emitting light on the side surface of the rod-shaped member and the light source for emitting light on the end face of the rod-shaped member are different light sources, so that, for example, the side surface and the end surface of the rod-shaped member have different brightness. , Color, pattern, etc. can be emitted. As described above, the apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention can realize a novel aspect of light emission.

また、本発明の第２の局面によれば、上記の装置において、棒状部材の側面の第２の領域は粗面である。これによれば、棒状部材の側面の第２の領域での反射光および透過光を減らし、棒状部材の上端面から出射する光量を増大させることが可能となる。
また、本発明の第３の局面によれば、上記の装置は、棒状部材の側面の第１の領域と第２の領域の境界に設置される仕切り板を更に有する。これによれば、第１の光源からの光と第２の光源からの光が混ざり合うことを回避でき、特に、棒状部材の側面と端面とをそれぞれを異なる輝度、色、パターン等の態様で発光させる場合の演出効果を高めることができる。 Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, in the above device, the second region of the side surface of the rod-shaped member is a rough surface. According to this, it is possible to reduce the reflected light and the transmitted light in the second region of the side surface of the rod-shaped member and increase the amount of light emitted from the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member.
Further, according to the third aspect of the present invention, the above-mentioned device further has a partition plate installed at the boundary between the first region and the second region on the side surface of the rod-shaped member. According to this, it is possible to avoid mixing the light from the first light source and the light from the second light source, and in particular, the side surface and the end surface of the rod-shaped member have different brightness, color, pattern and the like. It is possible to enhance the effect of emitting light.

また、本発明の第４の局面によれば、上記の装置は、束状に配置される複数の棒状部材を備える。これによれば、第１の光源からの光が複数の棒状部材の側面で繰り返し反射されるとともに、第２の光源からの光が複数の棒状部材の端面から放出され、全体として新規な発光態様が提供される。また、この場合、本発明の第５の局面によれば、第１の光源と第２の光源はそれぞれ複数の棒状部材を囲むように配置される。これによれば、複数の棒状部材の束の外周が最も明るく、内側へ行くに従って徐々に暗くなるグラデーション状の発光態様を実現できる。 Further, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the above-mentioned device includes a plurality of rod-shaped members arranged in a bundle. According to this, the light from the first light source is repeatedly reflected on the side surfaces of the plurality of rod-shaped members, and the light from the second light source is emitted from the end faces of the plurality of rod-shaped members, which is a new light emitting mode as a whole. Is provided. Further, in this case, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the first light source and the second light source are arranged so as to surround the plurality of rod-shaped members. According to this, it is possible to realize a gradation-like light emitting mode in which the outer circumference of the bundle of the plurality of rod-shaped members is the brightest and gradually becomes darker toward the inside.

以下、本発明に係る光源を有する装置につき、それを保持装置として具現化した場合の複数の実施形態を例に取り、添付の図面を参照して説明する。
（第１実施形態）
図１は本発明の第１実施形態に係る保持装置１の斜視図であり、図２は保持装置１の平面図であり、図３（Ａ）は図２の保持装置１のＩＩＩＡ−ＩＩＩＡ断面を矢印の方向に見た縦断面図である。これらの図に示すように、保持装置１は略円柱状の基台１０と、基台１０から上方へ突出する複数の棒状部材２０を有する。棒状部材２０はアクリル樹脂（ＰＭＭＡ樹脂）やポリカーボネート樹脂（ＰＣ樹脂）等の透明な樹脂やガラス等の透光性を有する無色または有色の導光性材料からなる。図例において、各棒状部材２０は円柱状のものとして形成される。 Hereinafter, a device having a light source according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking as an example a plurality of embodiments when the device is embodied as a holding device.
(First Embodiment)
1 is a perspective view of the holding device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the holding device 1, and FIG. 3 (A) is a cross section of IIIA-IIIA of the holding device 1 of FIG. It is a vertical cross-sectional view seen in the direction of the arrow. As shown in these figures, the holding device 1 has a substantially columnar base 10 and a plurality of rod-shaped members 20 projecting upward from the base 10. The rod-shaped member 20 is made of a transparent resin such as acrylic resin (PMMA resin) or polycarbonate resin (PC resin), or a light-transmitting colorless or colored light guide material such as glass. In the illustrated example, each rod-shaped member 20 is formed as a columnar one.

基台１０の上面は板状の仕切り板１２と、仕切り板１２の縁部分の一段高い位置に配置される環状の平板部材である枠部１１からなる。基台１０はその周面を形成する壁部を更に有する。仕切り板１２は金属、樹脂、木材等の材質からなり、材質そのものが遮光性を有するか、もしくは、塗装、印刷、メッキ、スパッタリング等による遮光性の表面処理が施されることによって遮光性を有するものとなっている。仕切り板１２には複数の棒状部材２０の数および断面形状に対応する複数の穴１３が形成され、各棒状部材２０は穴１３に挿通されている。これにより、各棒状部材２０は、仕切り板１２よりも上に突出する部分（以下、「突出部分」とも称する）と、仕切り板１２よりも下の基台１０の内部の空間に収容される部分（以下、「被収容部分」とも称する）とを有する。各棒状部材２０は対応する穴１３に対して遊嵌されていてもよく、圧入されていてもよく、穴１３の内周面に対して接着剤等により固定されていてもよい。複数の棒状部材２０と仕切り板１２とが一体的に形成されていてもよい。 The upper surface of the base 10 is composed of a plate-shaped partition plate 12 and a frame portion 11 which is an annular flat plate member arranged at a higher position at the edge portion of the partition plate 12. The base 10 further has a wall portion forming its peripheral surface. The partition plate 12 is made of a material such as metal, resin, or wood, and the material itself has a light-shielding property, or the partition plate 12 has a light-shielding property by being subjected to a light-shielding surface treatment such as painting, printing, plating, or sputtering. It has become a thing. A plurality of holes 13 corresponding to the number and cross-sectional shapes of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 are formed in the partition plate 12, and each rod-shaped member 20 is inserted into the holes 13. As a result, each rod-shaped member 20 has a portion that protrudes above the partition plate 12 (hereinafter, also referred to as a “protruding portion”) and a portion that is accommodated in the space inside the base 10 below the partition plate 12. (Hereinafter, also referred to as "accommodated portion"). Each rod-shaped member 20 may be loosely fitted to the corresponding hole 13, press-fitted, or fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the hole 13 with an adhesive or the like. The plurality of rod-shaped members 20 and the partition plate 12 may be integrally formed.

図３（Ａ）に示す例においては、複数の棒状部材２０の上端部の位置は一つの仮想的な平面に沿う。これにより、保持装置１は、複数の棒状部材２０の上端部の上に人が座ったり寝たりするための椅子、ベッド、ソファ等としての機能や、物を置くためのテーブルや棚等としての機能を奏し得る。本発明は、複数の棒状部材２０の上端部の位置が一つの仮想的な平面に沿う構成に限定されず、複数の棒状部材２０の上端部の位置が複数の仮想的な平面に沿う構成や、一つまたは複数の仮想的な曲面に沿う構成とすることもできる。特に、保持装置１を椅子として用いる場合、複数の棒状部材２０の上端面は群として座面としての機能を奏し、複数の棒状部材２０の上端部は人の臀部や大腿部に沿う曲面形状に沿うように配置されることが好ましい。 In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the positions of the upper ends of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 are along one virtual plane. As a result, the holding device 1 functions as a chair, bed, sofa, etc. for a person to sit or sleep on the upper end portions of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20, or as a table, a shelf, or the like for placing an object. Can function. The present invention is not limited to a configuration in which the positions of the upper ends of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 are along one virtual plane, and the positions of the upper ends of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 are aligned along the plurality of virtual planes. , It can also be configured along one or more virtual curved surfaces. In particular, when the holding device 1 is used as a chair, the upper end surfaces of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 function as a seating surface as a group, and the upper ends of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 have a curved surface shape along the buttocks and thighs of a person. It is preferable that the arrangement is made along the above.

図３（Ｂ）は図３（Ａ）において一点鎖線ＩＩＩＢで囲む範囲を拡大して示す拡大部分断面図である。図４は図３（Ａ）の保持装置１のＩＶ−ＩＶ切断面を矢印の方向に見た部分断面図である。図示するように、保持装置１は仕切り板１２の周縁部付近の上面の上に設置される円環形状の第１の光源３０を更に備える。第１の光源３０は複数の棒状部材２０の束の外周を囲むように配置されている。第１の光源３０はその周方向に互いに間隔を空けて配置される複数の発光部３１を有し、複数の発光部３１は、複数の棒状部材２０の束へ向けて光を照射するように構成および配置されている。 FIG. 3B is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view showing an enlarged range surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line IIIB in FIG. 3A. FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the IV-IV cut surface of the holding device 1 of FIG. 3 (A) as viewed in the direction of the arrow. As shown in the figure, the holding device 1 further includes a ring-shaped first light source 30 installed on the upper surface near the peripheral edge of the partition plate 12. The first light source 30 is arranged so as to surround the outer circumference of a bundle of a plurality of rod-shaped members 20. The first light source 30 has a plurality of light emitting units 31 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction thereof, and the plurality of light emitting units 31 irradiate light toward a bundle of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20. Configured and arranged.

第１の光源３０の各発光部３１は、通電により、複数の棒状部材２０の突出部分の周面に対して光を照射することとなる。照射された光は複数の棒状部材２０の突出部分を透過したり、突出部分の周面において反射されたりし、このように透過するかまたは反射された光は別の棒状部材２０の突出部分を透過するかまたはその周面で反射され、このような光の透過と反射とが複数の棒状部材２０において繰り返し生じる。こうして、第１の光源３０の各発光部３１からの発光により、各棒状部材２０の周面を輝かせる演出を行うことができる。また、このように各棒状部材２０の周面が発光しているように視認されるため、第１の光源３０の発光部３１よりも多くの棒状部材２０を備えることで、発光部３１の実際の数よりも多くの光源から発光しているように見える光の演出を行うことができる。 Each light emitting unit 31 of the first light source 30 is energized to irradiate the peripheral surfaces of the protruding portions of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 with light. The irradiated light passes through the protruding portion of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 or is reflected on the peripheral surface of the protruding portion, and the light transmitted or reflected in this way passes through the protruding portion of another rod-shaped member 20. It is transmitted or reflected on its peripheral surface, and such light transmission and reflection occur repeatedly in the plurality of rod-shaped members 20. In this way, it is possible to make the peripheral surface of each rod-shaped member 20 shine by emitting light from each light emitting unit 31 of the first light source 30. Further, since the peripheral surface of each rod-shaped member 20 is visually recognized as emitting light in this way, by providing more rod-shaped members 20 than the light emitting unit 31 of the first light source 30, the light emitting unit 31 is actually emitted. It is possible to produce light that appears to be emitted from more light sources than the number of light sources.

このような第１の光源３０の発光部３１からの光による複数の棒状部材２０の周面の発光を複数の棒状部材２０においてより均一に行うためには、棒状部材２０同士の隙間を比較的狭くすることが好ましい。そのための一つの指標として、例えば、複数の棒状部材２０の直径ａ（図３（Ｂ）参照）の平均的な値Ａと、複数の棒状部材２０の間の隙間の長さｂ（図３（Ｂ）参照）の平均的な値Ｂが、Ｂ／Ａ≦２の関係を満たす様にすることが好ましい。 In order for the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 to emit light on the peripheral surfaces of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 more uniformly by the light from the light emitting unit 31 of the first light source 30, the gaps between the rod-shaped members 20 are relatively large. It is preferable to make it narrow. As one index for that purpose, for example, the average value A of the diameters a (see FIG. 3B) of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 and the length b of the gap between the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 (FIG. 3 (FIG. 3)). It is preferable that the average value B of (see B)) satisfies the relationship of B / A ≦ 2.

図５は図３（Ａ）の保持装置１のＶ−Ｖ切断面を矢印の方向に見た部分断面図である。図示するように、保持装置１は、仕切り板１２よりも下の基台１０の内周面に設置される円環形状の第２の光源４０を更に有する。第２の光源４０は複数の棒状部材２０の束の外周を囲むように配置される。第２の光源４０はその周方向に互いに間隔を空けて配置される複数の発光部４１を有し、複数の発光部４１は、複数の棒状部材２０の束へ向けて光を照射するように構成および配置されている。 FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the VV cut surface of the holding device 1 of FIG. 3A as viewed in the direction of the arrow. As shown in the figure, the holding device 1 further includes a second ring-shaped light source 40 installed on the inner peripheral surface of the base 10 below the partition plate 12. The second light source 40 is arranged so as to surround the outer circumference of the bundle of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20. The second light source 40 has a plurality of light emitting units 41 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction thereof, and the plurality of light emitting units 41 irradiate light toward a bundle of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20. Configured and arranged.

第２の光源４０の発光部４１は、通電により、棒状部材２０の被収容部分の周面に対して光を照射することとなる。第２の光源４０の発光部４１から各棒状部材２０の被収容部分の周面へ照射された光の一部は棒状部材２０の周面から各棒状部材２０の内部へと進入し、進入した光の一部は当該棒状部材２０の内面で反射され、当該棒状部材２０の上端面から外側へ放出される。こうして、第２の光源４０の発光部４１から照射される光により、複数の棒状部材２０の上端面がそれぞれ発光し、複数の棒状部材２０の上端面が全体として点状に発光する演出を行うことができる。各棒状部材２０の上端面が発光しているように視認されることから、第２の光源４０の発光部４１よりも多くの棒状部材２０を備えることにより、発光部４１の実際の数よりも多くの光源から発光しているように見える光の演出を行うことができる。棒状部材２０の下端面を白色とする加工を行うことで、棒状部材２０の上端面からの発光の視認性を高めることができる。棒状部材２０の下端面を白色とする加工に代えて、または、それに加えて、棒状部材２０の下端面が接するか面する他部材の部分または面を白色としても同様の効果が得られる。
なお、各棒状部材２０は、被収容部分の周面（図３（Ｂ）において両矢印「ア」によって示す範囲内の周面）に対してブラスト処理、つや消しクリア塗装、メンディングテープの貼付等の粗面化処理が施されている。そのため、光入射面としての棒状部材２０の被収容部分の周面での反射光および透過光を減らし、棒状部材２０の上端面から出射する光量を増大させることが可能となる。 The light emitting portion 41 of the second light source 40 irradiates the peripheral surface of the housed portion of the rod-shaped member 20 with light by energization. A part of the light emitted from the light emitting portion 41 of the second light source 40 to the peripheral surface of the housed portion of each rod-shaped member 20 entered the inside of each rod-shaped member 20 from the peripheral surface of the rod-shaped member 20 and entered. A part of the light is reflected on the inner surface of the rod-shaped member 20 and emitted to the outside from the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20. In this way, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 41 of the second light source 40 causes the upper end surfaces of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 to emit light, and the upper end surfaces of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 emit light as a whole. be able to. Since the upper end surface of each rod-shaped member 20 is visually recognized as emitting light, the number of rod-shaped members 20 provided to be larger than that of the light emitting unit 41 of the second light source 40 is larger than the actual number of light emitting units 41. It is possible to produce light that appears to be emitted from many light sources. By processing the lower end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 to be white, the visibility of light emission from the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 can be improved. The same effect can be obtained by replacing or in addition to processing the lower end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 to be white, or by making the portion or surface of the other member in contact with or facing the lower end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 white.
In addition, each rod-shaped member 20 has a blast treatment, a matte clear coating, a mending tape, etc. on the peripheral surface of the housed portion (the peripheral surface within the range indicated by the double-headed arrow "A" in FIG. 3 (B)). Has been roughened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the reflected light and transmitted light on the peripheral surface of the housed portion of the rod-shaped member 20 as the light incident surface, and increase the amount of light emitted from the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20.

このように、棒状部材２０の突出部分の周面を発光させるための第１の光源３０と、棒状部材２０の上端面を発光させるための第２の光源４０とが別の光源となっていることで、例えば、棒状部材２０の周面と上端面とをそれぞれを異なる輝度、色、パターン等の態様で発光させることが可能となる。そのために、第１の光源３０の発光部３１と第２の光源４０の発光部４１の発光の輝度、色、パターン等の態様を異ならせてもよい。時間の経過とともに第１の光源３０の発光部３１と第２の光源４０の発光部４１の少なくとも一方の発光の態様を変化させてもよい。第１および第２の光源３０、４０の複数の発光部３１、４１の間で発光の態様を異ならせてもよい。荷重センサを用いる等して、棒状部材２０に加えられる荷重に応じて第１および第２の光源３０、４０の複数の発光部３１、４１の発光の態様を変化せてもよい。 As described above, the first light source 30 for emitting light on the peripheral surface of the protruding portion of the rod-shaped member 20 and the second light source 40 for emitting light on the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 are different light sources. This makes it possible, for example, to make the peripheral surface and the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 emit light in different forms such as brightness, color, and pattern. Therefore, the light emitting unit 31 of the first light source 30 and the light emitting unit 41 of the second light source 40 may have different modes of emission such as brightness, color, and pattern.

FIG. 11 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the holding device 100 according to the comparative example of the present invention, and is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 3 of the first embodiment. Instead of the first light source 30 and the second light source 40 of the first embodiment, the holding device 100 shown in FIG. 11 has a plurality of light sources 200 arranged below the lower ends of each rod-shaped member 20. In the holding device 100 of the comparative example having such a configuration, the light from the light source 200 is taken in from the lower end surface of the rod-shaped member 20, and the taken in light is radiated from the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20.
In the holding device 100 of the comparative example, when a downward load is applied to the upper ends of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20, the influence of the load may be transmitted from the lower end of the rod-shaped members 20 to the light source 200, and the light source 200 It may lead to damage. In contrast, in the holding devices 1, 1A to 1D according to the respective embodiments of the present invention, such problems occur because the light sources 30 and 40 for the rod-shaped member 20 are not arranged below the lower end of the rod-shaped member 20. Absent.

また、比較例において光源２００から棒状部材２０の下端面に入射した光を、棒状部材２０の上端面のみならず突出部分の周面からも出射させようとすると、突出部分の周面を粗面化する等の加工が必要となる。対照的に、本発明の各実施形態に係る保持装置１、１Ａ〜１Ｄにおいては、棒状部材２０の突出部分の周面に対して光を照射する第１の光源３０が備えられるため、突出部分の周面を粗面化する等の加工は必要ない。
更には、図１１に示す比較例のように複数の棒状部材２０のそれぞれに直接光を入射するための光源２００を準備する構成では、棒状部材２０の数に応じて準備すべき光源２００の数が多くなり、製造や費用の観点から不利となる。 Further, in the comparative example, when the light incident on the lower end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 from the light source 200 is to be emitted not only from the upper end surface of the rod-shaped member 20 but also from the peripheral surface of the protruding portion, the peripheral surface of the protruding portion is roughened. Processing such as conversion is required. In contrast, in the holding devices 1, 1A to 1D according to each embodiment of the present invention, since the first light source 30 that irradiates the peripheral surface of the protruding portion of the rod-shaped member 20 with light is provided, the protruding portion There is no need for processing such as roughening the peripheral surface of the surface.
Further, in the configuration in which the light sources 200 for directly injecting light into each of the plurality of rod-shaped members 20 as in the comparative example shown in FIG. 11 are prepared, the number of light sources 200 to be prepared according to the number of the rod-shaped members 20. Will increase, which will be disadvantageous in terms of manufacturing and cost.
