  • Publication number: 20060164821
    Abstract: An illumining device illumining a whole indicator brightly, using a light emitting element that emits rays of light in an ultraviolet ray region, and an electronic apparatus using the illumining apparatus. The illumining device comprises a light emitting element (17) disposed within a case (14) for emitting rays of light in an ultraviolet ray region, optically transparent sealing resin (18) with which the case is filled so as to cover the light emitting element, and a luminous material (19, 22) mixed into the sealing resin for reacting to the rays of light in the ultraviolet ray region to thereby emit rays of light in a visible ray region. The rays of light in the ultraviolet ray region emitted by the light emitting element pass through the sealing resin and then exits from the illumining device. Furthermore, they illumines the luminous material mixed into the sealing resin to cause the same to emit rays of light in the visible ray region.

  • Patent number: 6806644
    Abstract: An ultraviolet ray-emitting element is provided in a frame-like member disposed between an apparatus module and an apparatus case by corresponding to a peripheral portion of a protective glass. A light in an ultraviolet range from the ultraviolet ray-emitting element is irradiated between the module and the protective glass. A luminescent layer to which an ultraviolet ray is irradiated emits a light.
