Transparent display device using rotation-based persistence of vision and game machine equipped with the same

A transparent display device using rotation-based persistence of vision, comprising:

• an opaque display unit that includes a rotary wheel which displays first images and a wheel driving unit which drives the rotary wheel;
• a transparent display unit that includes image display bars, which are positioned outside the opaque display unit and on each of which a plurality of light emitting elements are mounted, and a display bar driving unit which rotates the image display bars, the transparent display unit displaying second images which are viewed to overlap the first images by persistence of vision based on rotation of the image display bars;
• a display casing that accommodates both the opaque and transparent display units in a state where the transparent display unit is positioned outside the opaque display unit, the display casing having a sight window through which the first images and the second images are viewed;
• a first support member which is provided on one side of the display casing and supports the wheel rotating shaft of the rotary wheel such that the rotary wheel is rotatable in the display casing;
• and
• a second support member which is provided on the other side of the display casing and supports the display bar rotating shaft of the image display bar such that the image display bar is rotatable in the display casing.

• image boards that provide, to the image display bars, image signals which are to be displayed on the image display bars, respectively;
• wherein the image boards are provided at the respective image display bars, and
• wherein dummy portions are included that are provided in an opposite direction of a direction, in which the image boards are provided, with respect to the display bar rotating shaft around which the image display bars rotate, the dummy portions inhibiting eccentricity from being generated due to weight of the respective image boards.

A game machine equipped with a transparent display device using rotation-based persistence of vision, the game machine comprising:

• a transparent display device including an opaque display unit that displays first images, a transparent display unit that includes image display bars, which are positioned outside the opaque display unit and on each of which a plurality of light emitting elements are mounted, and a display bar driving unit which rotates the image display bars, the transparent display unit displaying second images which are viewed to overlap the first images by persistence of vision based on rotation of the image display bars, and a display casing that accommodates both the opaque and transparent display units in a state where the transparent display unit is positioned outside the opaque display unit, the display casing having a sight window through which the first images and the second images are viewed at a preset region, the transparent display unit including a plurality of image display bars which are arranged around a display bar rotating shaft at regular angles such that eccentricity is inhibited from being generated during rotation of the image display bars;
• a game-machine body on which the transparent display device is mounted;
• and
• a manipulation unit that is installed in the game-machine body and manipulates a game in accordance with the game displayed by the transparent display device using rotation-based persistence of vision.
