Connected to 3c1 and 3c1 respectively.

With such a configuration, if the light emitting element holding blocks A are connected in a row in the horizontal or vertical direction, the block body 2
Since the light-emitting diodes 1 ... Built in are connected in series, if a power supply voltage is applied from the electrode portions 3 of the block bodies 2 located at both ends of the block bodies 2 arranged in a line to make a line It is possible to control the lighting of the light emitting element holding blocks A arranged in a row in a row.

In addition, FIG. 1d shows a plurality of luminous element holding blocks A ...
Shows an example in which * is laterally connected so as to form a bent portion in the center, and 7 is an outer frame that also serves as a decorative plate that is used as necessary at the time of connection. As shown in the figure, inside the outer frame 7, there are provided protrusions and recesses 71 and 72 which are fitted to the protrusions and recesses 21 and 22 (coupling fitting portion 20) provided on the outside of the luminous element holding block A. If the connected body is configured by using the ones, it is possible to easily assemble and connect the light emitting element holding block A without a troublesome work such as soldering.

FIG. 1e shows an example of a case where a plurality of light emitting element holding blocks A ... Are arranged in a grid pattern. Of the blocks A arranged in the row and column directions, the block columns arranged in the row and column directions. If a power supply voltage is applied from the electrode portions 3 of the block A located at both ends of, the lighting control of any row or column can be performed.

Further, FIG. 1f shows an example of a part of the structure in which the display panel constructed as described above is combined with an outer frame 7'which also serves as a decorative plate, and FIG. The h-line sectional view is shown.

As shown in the figure, the outer frame 7 ′ has, on its inner side surface, projections, recesses 21 and 22 provided on the side surface of the block body 2 (connecting fitting portion 2
Since there are convex and concave parts 71 'and 72' that fit in 0),
For example, like a block toy, the block body 2 can be used by connecting 8 × 8 pieces to form one panel and then assembling the outer frame 7 ′ on the outer periphery of the formed panel.
