Publication number: 20140375926Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display unit and a display plate. The display plate includes a diffusion portion that transmits and diffuses light of a first light source, and a transmission display portion that permits light of a second light source to transmit through and illuminate a prescribed shape portion serving as a status display portion. The liquid crystal display unit provides a liquid crystal display using, as back light, the light diffused by the diffusion portion. The display plate includes a slit in a portion located in between the transmission display portion and the diffusion portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Naoto OGAWA, Takuo YAMAMOTO, Ryo KOBE, Shinji KAMON

Publication number: 20140376262Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus includes a light source and a light guide member. The light guide member includes (i) an interior portion that receives light from the light source and (ii) outer faces that reflect the light repeatedly to permit the light to propagate in the interior portion. The light guide member further includes a viewable portion and a light absorption member serving as a light attenuation portion. The viewable portion reflects a part of the light propagating in the interior portion towards a viewer side so as to appear to be luminous. The light absorption member absorbs a part of light reflected by the outer face.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Naoto OGAWA, Takuo YAMAMOTO, Mika KASAI, Ryo KOBE
