Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention divides a storage chamber into sections using partition walls formed in the case, and uses the irradiation light from a light source installed in the storage chamber to illuminate the upper part of the storage chamber. The present invention relates to a display device in which, for example, a display panel is illuminated through transmission.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as this type of display device, for example,
As shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 9, the case 1 is divided by a partition wall 2 corresponding to various display items such as a direction indication display, a warning display such as out of fuel, and a headlight pointing up or down, etc., and this division is formed. A lighting lamp 4 is provided at the bottom of each storage chamber 3. Further, a display body 6 having a display section 5 is disposed above each storage chamber 3, and illumination lights 4 are turned on according to the status of various devices.
The display section 5 of the display body 6 is configured to be illuminated through transmission.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

By the way, in the display device having the above configuration, since the illumination lamp 4 is disposed at the bottom of the storage chamber 3, the width W of the storage chamber 3 is determined from the outer diameter of the illumination lamp 4, and each storage chamber 3 is If they are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. There is also a problem that the size cannot be set smaller than the outer diameter of the illumination lamp 4. Considering this point, the illumination lamp 4 is placed on the outside of the case 1 as shown in FIG. Board 5 with lighting 4
It is also possible to form the outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the
Since a mounting space for the illumination light 4 is required on the side of the case 1, there is a problem that the case 1 cannot be made smaller.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device in which the case can be made smaller and the size of the display board can be set smaller than the outer diameter of the illumination lamp.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in the present invention, a plurality of light sources are arranged in parallel at the bottom of the case, a partition wall is provided between each of the light sources to form a storage chamber, a display is arranged on the upper part of this storage chamber, and the display is and the light source, and the light shielding wall forms irradiation chambers of the same number as the storage chambers located above the light source in a direction intersecting with the storage chambers; The light-shielding wall is provided with an opening that communicates the irradiation chamber and the storage chamber and guides the irradiation light beam from the light source to the display body.

[Effect]

When the illumination lamp disposed in the storage chamber is turned on, the irradiation light from the illumination lamp enters the irradiation chamber through the opening and transmits and illuminates the display body disposed above the irradiation chamber. Furthermore, the irradiation light beam from the illumination lamp that enters the irradiation chamber is blocked by the partition wall and the light-blocking wall.
