Description

  The present invention relates to a display, and more particularly to a display capable of displaying characters three-dimensionally.

  Conventionally, an optical display has been used as an advertising billboard for a company or the like. In this optical display, light is generally applied from the back side of the display to the entire display body on which characters such as a company name are drawn. Thus, a method of making the entire display including the character portion stand out is adopted. In addition, as a method for conspicuously advertising billboards or the like of a company or the like, a method of illuminating the display by applying light from the front side is also employed.

  However, in such a method, light is applied from the back side of the display on which characters or the like are drawn, or light is applied from the front of the display, so that the entire display including the character part is merely made conspicuous. It has been pointed out that it cannot make a strong impact on the elderly.

  Therefore, in recent years, as a solution to such problems of the conventional display, there has been proposed a display that can make characters and the like appear three-dimensionally and thereby have an impact on the viewer.

That is, in this type of display, a character portion is formed by cutting a groove on which a character or the like is drawn on the display body and applying light from the side surface of the display body on which the groove is drawn, thereby reflecting the light to the groove. Makes it possible to lift up.

  However, simply cutting a groove in the display does not guarantee that the light incident from the side of the display is reflected to the front of the display, and there are doubts about its effectiveness as a display to lift characters and the like three-dimensionally. I have to leave.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display capable of reliably reflecting incident light forward and thereby allowing characters and the like cut on the display to surely emerge.

  The display of the present invention has a display main body having a cutting portion on which a character or the like is cut on the back surface, a base for holding the display main body in an upright state, and an arrangement in which an end surface on the bottom side of the display main body is an incident end surface. A light source housed in the base, wherein the cutting part has a curved or oblique reflective surface part capable of reflecting incident light from the light source to the front side. Yes.

  In the display of the present invention, characters and the like are drawn by cutting on the back side of the display main body, and at the time of cutting, a curved or oblique side shape that can reflect light incident from the end surface on the bottom side of the display to the front side. Since it has a reflective surface part, the light incident from the bottom surface side end surface of the display is surely reflected to the front surface side, so that the cut letters and the like are surely raised on the front surface side of the display body. Is possible.

The display of the present invention has a display body on which characters and the like are drawn by cutting on the back side thereof, and this display body is held in a standing state on the base.
Further, a light source is provided in the base so as to be capable of irradiating the bottom side end face of the display main body.
And the character etc. which were drawn on the back surface of the said display main body have the reflective surface part of a curved shape or a hypotenuse shape which can reflect the incident light from the said light source to the front side.

  Here, the display main body may be any material as long as it has a light-transmitting property, but it is preferable to use a glass-colored acrylic resin having a light-transmitting property. It is possible to decorate the entire display body vividly.

  The light source may be any light source as long as it can illuminate the bottom side end face of the display main body, but it is preferable that the light source is a long fluorescent lamp and the fluorescent lamp is placed sideways in the base. Thereby, it is possible to make light uniformly enter the entire display body.

  Further, the base includes a hollow main body, a locking groove formed in the main body for locking the lower end portion of the display main body, and a light transmitting hole formed in the bottom of the locking groove. In this case, it is possible to reliably make the light from the light source incident on the display body while reliably holding the display body in the standing state.

  An embodiment of a display of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the display of this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a side of the display of this embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a display according to this embodiment.

  In the figure, 2 is a display body, and 3 is a base for holding the display body 2. That is, the display 1 according to the present embodiment includes a display main body 2 and a base 3.

  In the present embodiment, the display body 2 uses a substantially square plate-like acrylic resin. Specifically, the display body 2 in the present embodiment is 150 mm long, 230 mm wide, and 8 mm thick. Based on acrylic resin. As the type of acrylic resin, a glass-colored acrylic resin is used. More specifically, in the present example, the trade name “Sumipec” manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. is used. A character or the like is drawn on the back side of the display main body 2 by cutting. In the present embodiment, the character “SHIMIZU TECHNO” is cut as shown in the figure.

  Here, FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B) are end views showing a side cross section of the display main body 2, and in the figure, 201 is a cutting portion on which characters and the like are drawn. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the cutting portion 201 has a cross-sectional shape that is acute or curved, and when cutting into an acute or curved shape, the cutting portion 201 has a convex shape on the front side. Yes. That is, when cutting characters or the like, the bottom of the cutting part is curved or acute, so that the bottom of the cutting part does not become flat. In this manner, the lower side of the cutting part 201 having an acute or curved shape is used as a reflecting surface part 202 that reflects light incident from the bottom end of the display main body 2.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when light is incident from the bottom side end face of the display main body, the light collides with the lower side of the cutting part 201 having a sharp or curved shape, that is, the reflection surface part 202, and this light is Reflecting toward the front side of the display main body 2, and by this, the substantially lower half portion of the cutting part 201 shines, so that characters and the like can be raised three-dimensionally. That is, when the entire character or the like is lit, it is difficult for the viewer to capture the character or the like in three dimensions, but only one side of the character or the like is lit as in the display of this embodiment. In some cases, the person who sees this will catch the character and the like in three dimensions. Therefore, in the display 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to surely raise characters and the like three-dimensionally, and it is possible to give a strong impact to the viewer.

  In addition, according to the display of this embodiment, when characters or the like are cut in the vertical direction, theoretically, there is no place where incident light is reflected. Since the light incident on the display main body is irregularly reflected in the display main body 2, a portion of a character or the like cut in the vertical direction also emits light. At the time of light emission of the portion, in this embodiment, the display main body 2 is made of glass. Since a colored acrylic resin is used, it has been confirmed that light is emitted in a light greenish glass color. Moreover, it was confirmed that the non-reflecting surface part 203 in the cutting part 201 also emits light greenish glass color due to irregular reflection of light. In FIG. 1, the portion displayed in light ink indicates a portion emitting light in glass color, and the other portion indicates a portion emitting light brightly.

  Thus, in the display 1 of the present embodiment, when light is incident from the bottom end of the display main body 2, the reflective surface 202 emits light brightly and the other parts emit light in a greenish glass color. Combined with the difference in color, it is possible to make the entire cut letters and the like appear three-dimensionally and vividly.

  In the present embodiment, the machine is used to cut the characters with depth. Therefore, unlike the method of slightly shaving the surface of the display body using, for example, laser light, it is possible to reliably form the reflective surface portion 202.

  Next, the base 3 constituting the display of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a view showing a side cross section of the base 3 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a longitudinal section of the base 3 of the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a plan view of the base 3 according to the present embodiment, and in FIG. In the present embodiment, as is apparent from FIG. 1, the main body 301 has a width slightly longer than the width of the display main body 2 and is hollow inside.

  An upper surface of the main body 301 has a locking groove 302 that can be inserted and held in the lower end portion of the display main body 2 along the width direction. By inserting the lower part, the display main body 2 can be held upright on the base 3.

  Further, a translucent hole 303 is formed at the bottom of the locking groove 302 along the width direction of the main body 301, and a light source is provided in the main body 301 below the translucent hole 303. The fluorescent lamp 4 is arranged in a lying state. That is, in this embodiment, the fixing means 5 is disposed in the lower portion of the light transmitting hole 302 in the main body 301, and both ends of the fluorescent lamp 4 are locked above both ends of the fixing means 5. A locking portion 501 for electrical connection is provided, and a power cord 502 is connected to the locking portion 501.

  In this configuration, when the fluorescent lamp 4 as a light source is fixed to the fixing means 5 via the locking portion 501 and power is supplied to the fluorescent lamp 4, light from the fluorescent lamp 4 passes through the light transmitting hole 303. Thus, the light enters the display main body 2 from the bottom end face of the display main body 2 held and held in the locking groove 302.

  Therefore, in the display of this embodiment, light is incident on the display main body 2 only by supplying power to the fluorescent lamp 4 while holding the display main body 2 on the base 3 without obtaining particularly troublesome work. It is possible to make it.

  Next, the operation of the display 1 of this embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the display 1 of this embodiment is used, characters and the like are cut so that the reflective surface portion 202 is formed on the back surface. It is only necessary to insert the lower part of the display body 2 having the cut portion 201 into the locking groove 302 and supply power to the fluorescent lamp 4 in this state.

  Then, the light from the fluorescent lamp 4 enters the display main body 2 from the bottom end portion of the display main body 2, collides with the reflection surface portion 202 in the cutting portion 201, and is reliably reflected to the front side of the display main body 2. As a result, the reflecting surface portion 202 in the cutting portion 201 emits bright light. At the same time, a portion of the non-reflecting surface portion 203 or the like where light is not directly reflected emits light greenish light with less brightness than the reflecting surface portion 202 due to irregular reflection of light in the display main body 2 or the like. As a result, due to the difference in brightness, color, and the like of the reflecting surface portion 202 and the non-reflecting surface portion 203, the cut characters and the like are seen three-dimensionally for the viewer.

  As described above, in the display 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably reflect the incident light forward, and thereby it is possible to surely raise the letters and the like cut on the display, and at that time, the light is A part that reflects directly to the front side and emits bright light and a part that emits light with a light greenish color due to irregular reflection in the display main body 2 are formed, and cut according to differences in brightness, color, etc. Characters and the like can be shown three-dimensionally to the viewer.

  In the display of the present invention, characters and the like are cut so that the reflective surface portion is formed on the back surface side of the display body, and thereby the incident light can be reliably reflected to the front surface side by the reflective surface portion. The present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to all types of optical displays.
