Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the structure of Patent Document 1, since the light guide member is formed of a colorless, transparent and pure synthetic resin, the contrast between the light guide member and the display panel is not sufficient. There is still room for improvement in ways to further enhance the sense of luxury they produce

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of a motorcycle to which the present invention is applied. The motorcycle 1 is a scooter-type vehicle equipped with a unit swing type power unit incorporating a continuously variable transmission. In front of the left and right pair of main frames 6, a cylindrical head pipe 4 is fixedly combined with the gusset plate 7 as a reinforcing member. The front wheels WF are pivotally supported freely rotatable. The front forks 5, 5 are steerable via a handlebar 2 connected to a shaft (not shown) pivotally supported by the head pipe 4 and a handlebar 3 attached thereto. The head pipe 4 is covered from the front-rear direction of the vehicle body by the front cover 24 and the cover panel 15 on which the headlight unit 60 is attached.

[0043] The main frame 6 is bent into a substantially U-shape below the vehicle body, and is connected ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an instrument display device which improves the appearance and visibility of design display by a light guiding member which emits light by guiding the light of a light source. The light guiding member 50 made of resin which is smoked to reduce light transmittance is arranged above a speed indicator display section 40a and a fuel gauge display section 40b which are formed on a display panel 40, thereby reducing the luminous intensity of the part covered by the light guiding member 50, providing the part with muted tone, and enhancing the contrast with the part which is not covered thereby. The light guiding member 50 comprises a circular section which covers the vicinity of the periphery of the speed indicator display section 40a and a flat section which covers the periphery of the fuel gauge display section 40b. The circular section has an arch-shaped cross section with its top pointing toward far side of the surface of the display panel 40, thereby increasing the stereoscopic effect and depth effect of a scale section of the speed indicator, providing it with different appearance from the periphery of the fuel gauge to achieve novel design, and improving the appearance of the indicator display device 30.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a meter display device, and more particularly to a meter display device in which the appearance and visibility of pattern display are improved by a light guide member that guides light from a light source and emits light. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in meter display devices such as speedometers and tachometers, it is known that a light guide member is provided on a display panel for displaying characters and scales to improve the appearance and visibility of the meter display device. [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses that a ring-shaped light guide member having a right-angled triangular cross-section is disposed on the outer periphery of a substantially circular tachometer, and that the scale display of the tachometer is provided on the reverse side of the light guide member. Luminous instrument display unit. According to this device, especially when the light-emitting diode is turned on, the scale...
