The fifth pointer portion 21b5 extends from the end portion of the fourth pointer portion 21b4 toward the scale 21a1 along the front surface of the LCD 21c. That is, the pointer 21b has a substantially S-shape that is folded back in the direction of the rotation center between the scale plate 21a and the LCD 21c.

以上のように、駆動部２１ｄから、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの背面を回転中心方向Ｙ２とは反対方向Ｙ１に向かい、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの外周端を越えると、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの正面と目盛板２１ａの背面との間を回転中心方向に向かい、目盛板２１ａの内周端を越えると、目盛板２１ａの正面を回転中心方向Ｙ２とは反対方向Ｙ１に向かって、指針２１ｂを延在させることにより、駆動部２１ｄがＬＣＤ２１ｃの背面側にあった場合でも、目盛板２１ａにスリットを設けることなく、指針２１ｂ先端がＬＣＤ２１ｃより正面側に配置された目盛板２１ａ上の目盛２１ａ１を指示することができ、意匠性の向上を図ることができる。   As described above, when the back surface of the LCD 21c is directed in the direction Y1 opposite to the rotation center direction Y2 from the drive unit 21d and exceeds the outer peripheral edge of the LCD 21c, the rotation center direction is between the front surface of the LCD 21c and the back surface of the scale plate 21a. When the head 21d is passed and the inner peripheral end of the scale plate 21a is exceeded, the pointer 21b extends in the direction Y1 opposite to the rotation center direction Y2 on the front surface of the scale plate 21a, so that the drive unit 21d is on the back side of the LCD 21c. In this case, it is possible to indicate the scale 21a1 on the scale plate 21a in which the tip of the pointer 21b is disposed on the front side of the LCD 21c without providing a slit in the scale plate 21a, thereby improving the design. it can.

また、タコメータ２２は、スピードメータ２１と同様の構成となっており、その詳細な説明は省略する。なお、上述した実施形態では、目盛板２１ａ、２２ａはＬＣＤ２１ｃ、２２ｃの全体を取り囲んでいたが、一部を取り囲むような構成であってもよい。   Further, the tachometer 22 has the same configuration as the speedometer 21, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the above-described embodiment, the scale plates 21a and 22a surround the entire LCDs 21c and 22c, but may be configured to partially surround the LCDs 21c and 22c.

また、上述した実施形態では、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの背面に設けた駆動部２１ｄにより回転する回転軸２１ｅから延在する指針２１ｂの場合について説明した。しかしながら、例えば、目盛板２１ａの背面に、ＬＣＤ２１ｃを囲むリングギアを設け、このリングギアを駆動部２１ｄにより回転させると共に、このリングギアの一部から指針を延在する場合にも適用することができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the case of the pointer 21b extending from the rotation shaft 21e rotated by the drive unit 21d provided on the back surface of the LCD 21c has been described. However, for example, a ring gear surrounding the LCD 21c is provided on the back surface of the scale plate 21a, and the ring gear is rotated by the drive unit 21d, and the pointer is extended from a part of the ring gear. it can.

この場合、指針は、リングギアから、ＬＣＤ２１ｃ、２２ｃの正面と目盛板２１ａ、２２ａの背面との間を回転中心方向に向かい、目盛板２１ａ、２２ａの内周端を越えると、目盛板２１ａ、２２ａの正面を回転中心方向Ｙ２とは反対方向Ｙ１に向かって延在することとなる。   In this case, the pointer moves from the ring gear between the front surface of the LCDs 21c and 22c and the back surface of the scale plates 21a and 22a toward the center of rotation, and when the needle crosses the inner peripheral ends of the scale plates 21a and 22a, The front surface of 22a extends in the direction Y1 opposite to the rotation center direction Y2.

第２実施形態
ところで、上述した第１実施形態では、指針２１ｂを、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの正面と目盛板２１ａの背面との間を回転中心方向Ｙ２に向かい、目盛板２１ａの内周端を越えると、目盛板２１ａの正面を回転中心方向Ｙ２とは反対方向Ｙ１に向かって、延在させていた。指針２１ｂをこのような形状とすることにより、図１のＡ１に示すように、正面から見ると、指針２１ｂとＬＣＤ２１ｃとが重なってしまう部分が生じてしまう。 By the way, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, when the pointer | guide 21b goes to the rotation center direction Y2 between the front surface of LCD21c, and the back surface of the scale plate 21a, and exceeds the inner peripheral end of the scale plate 21a, it will become a scale. The front surface of the plate 21a extends in the direction Y1 opposite to the rotation center direction Y2. By setting the pointer 21b to such a shape, a portion where the pointer 21b and the LCD 21c overlap when viewed from the front is generated as shown by A1 in FIG.

従って、目盛板２１ａとＬＣＤ２１ｃとの色が異なり、目盛板２１ａとＬＣＤ２１ｃとの境界がはっきり視認でき、かつ、指針２１ｂと、ＬＣＤ２１ｃとの色が異なるものに、上記形状の指針２１ｂを適用すると、指針２１ｂの回転中心方向Ｙ２の端部がＬＣＤ２１ｃに突出して、見栄えが悪いという問題が生じる。   Therefore, when the color of the scale plate 21a and the LCD 21c is different, the boundary between the scale plate 21a and the LCD 21c is clearly visible, and the color of the pointer 21b and the LCD 21c is different, the pointer 21b having the above shape is applied. The end portion of the pointer 21b in the rotation center direction Y2 protrudes to the LCD 21c, which causes a problem that it does not look good.

そこで、図３に示すように、指針２１ｂのＡ１に示す色を、ＬＣＤ２１ｃと同一色又は近似色にすることが考えられる。例えば、目盛板２１ａの色が白、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの色が暗色系で、指針２１ｂの色が青であった場合、指針２１ｂのＡ１については、ＬＣＤ２１ｃと同様に暗色系にして、目盛板２１ａとラップするＡ２については、青にする。このようにすれば、正面から見て、指針２１ｂのＬＣＤ２１ｃと重なっている部分Ａ１が指針２１ｂと視認されず、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの一部のように見えるため、指針２１ｂが目盛板２１ａの正面側のみを旋回しているように視認でき、意匠性の向上を図ることができる。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, it is conceivable to set the color indicated by A1 of the pointer 21b to the same color or an approximate color as the LCD 21c. For example, when the color of the scale plate 21a is white, the color of the LCD 21c is dark, and the color of the pointer 21b is blue, the A1 of the pointer 21b is darkened in the same manner as the LCD 21c and is wrapped with the scale plate 21a. A2 to be used is blue. In this way, when viewed from the front, the portion A1 of the pointer 21b that overlaps the LCD 21c is not visually recognized as the pointer 21b, but looks like a part of the LCD 21c, so that the pointer 21b covers only the front side of the scale plate 21a. It can be visually recognized as turning, and the design can be improved.

また、図４に示すように、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの正面から見て、指針２１ｂと重なる部分Ａ３を、目盛板２１ａと同一色又は近似色にすることも考えられる。具体的には、目盛板２１ａの色が白、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの色が暗色系で、指針２１ｂの色が青であった場合、ＬＣＤ２１ｃのＡ３については、目盛板２１ａと同様に白にする。このようにすれば、正面から見ると、ＬＣＤ２１ｃの指針２１ｂと重なっている部分Ａ３がＬＣＤ２１ｃと視認されず、目盛板２１ａの一部のように見えるため、指針２１ｂが目盛板２１ａの正面側のみを旋回しているように視認でき、意匠性の向上を図ることができる。なお、ＬＣＤ２１ｃのＡ３については、目盛板２１ａと同一部材で形成すれば、より自然に、Ａ３部分が目盛板２１ａの一部のように見える。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be considered that a portion A3 overlapping with the pointer 21b when viewed from the front of the LCD 21c has the same color or an approximate color as the scale plate 21a. Specifically, when the color of the scale plate 21a is white, the color of the LCD 21c is a dark color system, and the color of the pointer 21b is blue, A3 of the LCD 21c is set to white similarly to the scale plate 21a. In this way, when viewed from the front, the portion A3 that overlaps the pointer 21b of the LCD 21c is not visually recognized as the LCD 21c, but looks like a part of the scale plate 21a, so the pointer 21b is only on the front side of the scale plate 21a. Can be visually recognized as turning, and the design can be improved. In addition, about A3 of LCD21c, if it forms with the same member as the scale plate 21a, A3 part will look like a part of scale plate 21a more naturally.
