Abstract
Display effect is improved. In an electronic apparatus of the present disclosure, an operation body placed in an operation panel of a body case has an operation part inserted into a through hole provided in the operation panel from the rear to the front side, a light reflecting part placed between the outer peripheral surface of a knob forming the operation part and the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and a light emitting part placed behind the light reflecting part. A light guide space is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the knob and the inner peripheral surface of the light reflecting part, and the front side of the light reflecting part is placed behind the operation panel of the body case.
Claims3
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a body case;
- and
- an operation body that is arranged on an operation panel at the front side of the case body,
- wherein the operation body includes:
- an operation part which is inserted through a through hole provided in the operation panel of the body case from the rear side of the operation panel to the front side;
- a light reflecting part provided between an outer peripheral surface of the operation part and an inner peripheral surface of the through hole;
- and
- a light emitting part which is provided behind the light reflecting part;
- and
- wherein the operation body forms a light guide space between the outer peripheral surface of the operation part and the inner peripheral surface of the light reflecting part.
An electronic apparatus, comprising
- a body case that has an operation panel having a through hole and has a shaft which extends inside the operation panel from the through hole to outside, and an light emitting part which emits light to the outside;
- an operation body that is supported on a front end of the shaft and extends from the inside of the body case through the through hole, wherein at least a part of the operation body extends at the front of the body case beyond the operation panel;
- and
- a light reflecting part that is provided between an outer peripheral surface of the operation body and an inner peripheral surface of the body case which forms the through hole and along the inner peripheral surface of the body case behind the operation panel, and illuminates the operation body through the through hole from the rear of the operation body by reflecting light emitted from the light emitting part.
