場合に設けなければならないことが多い。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such conventional portable information communication devices, even when the display block is closed, external devices cannot be turned on/off.
In order to be able to confirm the FF, it is often necessary to provide a separate LED.

タ１０，１１、中継ケール１２を必要としていた。Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, LED7, I, ED7
It required a printed circuit board 8 to which the main body was attached, connectors 10 and 11 to connect the printed circuit board 8 and the printed circuit board 9 attached to the main body, and a relay cable 12.
従って、これらの部品コストや、これらの部。Therefore, these parts costs and these parts.
の組立てコストが多く必要になシ、また、部品（信頼性
等の管理を行う必要があった。It required a lot of assembly cost, and it was also necessary to manage parts (reliability, etc.).
本発明は、このような従来の問題点を解決す。The present invention solves these conventional problems.

品点数の削減を可能にし、従って；ス）Ｆ減、信頼性の
管理等が容易にできることを目的。The purpose is to make it possible to reduce the number of parts required to confirm the 0N10FF of the equipment's power supply, and thus to easily manage reliability, reduce the number of F, and manage reliability.
する。do.
課題を解決するための手段
本発明は上記目的を達成するために、液晶表ブ部と、液
晶表示部を照明する光源と、光源から６光を装置の外部
へ導光する導光部とを備えてなｉものである。Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a liquid crystal display section, a light source for illuminating the liquid crystal display section, and a light guide section for guiding six lights from the light source to the outside of the device. This is something you should be prepared for.
作 用
本発明は上記した構成により、機器の電源がＯＮの時に
は、光源からの光が液晶−表４示部の月明だけでなく、
導光部によって液晶ブロックを肖じたときにも装置の外
部から確認できるようにしたものである。Function The present invention has the above-described configuration, so that when the power of the device is turned on, the light from the light source is not only the moonlight of the liquid crystal display section, but also the light from the light source.
The light guiding section makes it possible to see the liquid crystal block from outside the device even when looking at it.
実施例
以下、本発明の一実施例について第１図から第３図を用
いて説明する。EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
図に示すように、光源６をはさみ、液晶表示部３の反対
側には透明または半透明の導光部１３が設けられている
。液晶表示部、導光板等の構成は従来例と同じである。As shown in the figure, a transparent or translucent light guide section 13 is provided on the opposite side of the liquid crystal display section 3 with the light source 6 in between. The configurations of the liquid crystal display section, light guide plate, etc. are the same as in the conventional example.
上記構成によって、光源６からの光は導光板６に入光し
、液晶表示部３を照明するとともに、導光部１３によっ
て装置の外部へも導かれる。With the above configuration, light from the light source 6 enters the light guide plate 6 and illuminates the liquid crystal display section 3, and is also guided to the outside of the device by the light guide section 13.
このように本発明の実施例の液晶表示装置によれば、光
源からの光が液晶表示部の反対側からも確認できるため
、表示ブロックを閉じたときでも電源がＯＮであるか、
ＯＦＦであるかを外部から確認することができる。As described above, according to the liquid crystal display device of the embodiment of the present invention, the light from the light source can be confirmed from the opposite side of the liquid crystal display section, so even when the display block is closed, it is possible to check whether the power is on or not.
It is possible to confirm from the outside whether it is OFF.
また、実施例では、液晶表示部の照明方法として、導光
板を使った端面入光式としたが、光源を液晶表示部の背
面に設けた直下型照明式であってもよいことは言うまで
もない。In addition, in the embodiment, the illumination method for the liquid crystal display section was an end-face illumination method using a light guide plate, but it goes without saying that a direct illumination method in which the light source is provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display section may also be used. .

管理等も容易になる。Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the light source for illuminating the liquid crystal display can also be used to confirm the 0N10FF of the power supply, eliminating the need to use a dedicated LED or the like. Since there are no parts, it is possible to reduce the number of parts, thereby reducing parts costs and assembly costs, and making it easier to manage reliability.
