Accordingly, it is possible to provide a more innovative and interesting instrument device.
- the light source 7 guides the light beam to the light guide portion 61 side of the light guide member 6 and the irradiation light beam to the scale portion (convex scale portion 62, scale portion 55a) 62 side.
- the light source 7 may be separately arranged so that the time difference lights up.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
- the light guide member 6 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material.
- the light guide member 6 may be colored and molded by containing a blue pigment, for example.
- the display portions 51 and 51a and the scale portion 55a provided on the display plate 5 can be read through colored shades.
- the light guide member 6 is used as the scale portion.
- the scale part which consists of a dent may be formed in the surface or back surface of the light guide member 6, and with the light guide member 6 depending on the case,
- the display board 5 may be graduated, and depending on the combination, it is possible to emphasize a further sense of depth.
- the light source 7 is provided with a predetermined interval around the outer peripheral edge of the light guide member 6, and reflects the light from the light source 7 in the central direction of the light guide member 6 (in the direction of the rotation center of the pointer 4) with directivity.
- the position where the plurality of light guide portions 61 and 61a to be disposed and the shape and number of the light guide portions 61 and 61a may be set as appropriate.
- the light-reflecting processing parts 63 and 63a have a concavo-convex shape in which light beams emitted from the light source 7 formed on the back surface side of the light guide member 6 are reflected and guided in the viewing direction through the light guide parts 61 and 61a. Is not limited to the shape described in each embodiment, but can be appropriately set such as embossing or striped pattern, and the position to be disposed is applied according to the shape of the display plate 5 and the light guide member 6 respectively. It is good.
- the display panel 5 is formed in a substantially circular shape, but modifications such as a rectangular display panel shape and an elliptical shape are possible.
- the light guide member 6 is arranged on the surface side of the display plate 5 having a different shape so as to overlap with the shape of the display plate 5, and the outer peripheral edge of the light guide member 6 is spaced at predetermined positions.
- a light reflection processing unit 63 that reflects and guides the light emitted from the light source 7 toward the viewing side through the light guide unit 61 on the back surface of the light guide member 6.
- the light guide member 6 is reflected and guided in a linear or belt shape with directivity toward the center direction of the light guide member 6 (the rotation center direction of the pointer 4), or the pointer 4 is rotated. Reflecting and guiding light in a linear or strip shape with directivity in a direction different from the central direction, and the like, it is applied to the back surface of the light guide member 6 in a spot-like direction through the light reflection processing unit 63. It can be reflected and reflected, and in some cases it can be set so that the direction of shining in a linear or strip shape intersects each other, and a novel lighting effect also in terms of appearance It is possible to obtain
- an instrument device such as a vehicle instrument or a motorcycle has been described as an example.
- the instrument device for a ship, an agricultural machine, or a construction machine is not limited to a vehicle instrument device.
- the present invention can also be applied to instrument devices for special vehicles such as the above.
