The present invention provides an instrument device which is enhanced a texture while creating a sense of depth by superimposing and stereoscopically disposing a light-guiding member on an indicator panel of the instrument device, and which has a good appearance and a novel visibility when illuminated. An instrument device with a good appearance and novel visibility is provided which includes an indicator panel (5), an instrument main part (2), an indicator needle (4) that is provided to the instrument main part (2), a transparent light-guiding member (6) that is disposed on the indicator panel (5), and a light source (7) that enters light beams into the light-guiding member (6). The light-guiding member is provided with a plurality of light-guiding portions (61) which are provided at the outer circumferential portion of the light-guiding member with predetermined intervals and which reflect light beams from the light source (7) in the direction toward the rotation center of the indicator needle (4), so that portions of the indicator panel (5) shine like strips with predetermined intervals, and the indicator panel (5) and the light-guiding member (6) are illuminated in a stereoscopic manner.
An instrument device comprising an indicator panel, an instrument main part which is disposed at a rear face side of the indicator panel, an indicator needle which is provided so as to rotate and give an indication in accordance with an operation of the instrument main part along a front face side of the indicator panel, a transparent light-guiding member which is disposed on the indicator panel and which can be seen through, and a light source which enters light beams into the light-guiding member, wherein
