    摘要: A light guide plate is transparent to visible light and is formed into a plate shape. The light guide plate includes a plurality of prisms 21 provided in a first region 22 on one surface 2b of the light guide plate, each of the plurality of prisms 21 including a reflection surface 21a that reflects the visible light, which is emitted from the light source 3 and enters the light guide plate 2 through an incoming surface 2a, toward the other surface 2c of the light guide plate 2. Then, for each of a plurality of first partial regions (22-1 to 22-n) in the first region 22, at least one of a direction of the reflection surface 21a of each prism 21 arranged in the first partial region and a ratio of a total of areas of the reflection surfaces 21a of each prism 21 to the first partial region is set according to an amount of light traveling from the first partial region toward a predetermined viewpoint such that brightness of the first region 22 changes spatially irregularly as seen from the predetermined viewpoint.

    摘要: A light guide body configured to guide at least first and second light having different colors that enter the light guide body from at least one light source has a light exit surface having a light emitting region that emits the first light and the second light from the at least one light source, and a reflection region that reflects, toward the light emitting region, the first light and the second light that enters the light guide body. The reflection region has a first pattern region where a plurality of first reflection patterns that reflects the first light are arranged, and a second pattern region where a plurality of second reflection patterns that reflects the second light are arranged. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the light exit surface, the first pattern region and the second pattern region at least partially overlapping with each other.

    摘要: A display switching device (10) is provided, which switches a display image (P) by switching irradiation of lights from positions of a plurality of light sources (7). The display switching device includes: a lens array (6) in which a plurality of lenses are arranged; and a display part (45) including a plurality of pixel regions (45a) arranged to include a region through which a light, which is formed by condensing each of the lights emitted from the positions of the plurality of light sources (7) with each of the lenses of the lens array (6), passes. A transmittance in each of the pixel regions (45a) is set corresponding to a predetermined stationary pattern. A total area of the pixel regions (45a) in the display part (45) is 60% or less of a total area of a sum of the pixel regions (45a) and the pixel surrounding regions (45b).

    摘要: To achieve more natural image expression. A display device (1) is provided with a light guide plate (4) which displays a predetermined image having a tone caused by changing the amount of light emitted from each of pixel regions including one or more light exit structures (43), and the amount of light emitted from the pixel regions displaying the tone in a predetermined range is randomly set so as to be a first light amount value or a second light amount value greater than the first light amount value.

    摘要: A light guide plate presents a plurality of patterns via prisms illuminated by light sources aligned along one sidewall of the light guide plate. Each light source corresponds to a different pattern. A storage unit stores lighting sequence information and a controller controls the turning on and off of the plurality of light sources in accordance with the lighting sequence information, thereby illuminating the patterns. Visible light emitted from the light sources to enters the light guide plate via an incidence surface. The prisms making up the patterns reflect only the visible light emitted from a light source corresponding to a particular pattern.
