Abstract:
1. A display device for mixer comprising: a board having a printed circuit and a mount surface inside a control console of the mixer; a plurality of light emitting elements each mounted on the mount surface of the board to emit light away from the mount surface; a plurality of light guides corresponding to the plurality of light emitting elements, each guide having an incidence part, a discharge part and a reflection surface; and a retention cover detachably mounted to the board to retain the light guides such that the incidence part of each light guide faces the corresponding light emitting element and the discharge part of each light guide is located adjacent to an end of the board, wherein the discharge part of each light guide constitutes a display parallel to the end of the board, wherein each light guide is formed in a shape of a column having at a lower end thereof the reflection surface of the light guide inclined to an axis of the column, and is constructed such that the light incident upon the column from the incidence part of the light guide is reflected at the reflection surface of the light guide, then the light is totally reflected at the side of the column, and is emitted through the discharge part of the light guide formed at a top of the column, wherein the light guides are arranged in parallel to one another, and have a connection part connecting the light guides and extending along a direction in which the light guides are arranged in parallel to one another, the connection part being formed integrally with the light guides using a resin, wherein the retention cover retains the light guides such that the retention cover covers at least a surface of the light guides opposite to the mount surface of the board, wherein the retention cover has light shielding walls disposed between the light guides adjacent with each other, wherein the retention cover is formed with a plurality of windows corresponding to the plurality of light guides, so that the light emitted from the light emitting elements enters into the light guides through the corresponding windows, and wherein the retention cover supports the plurality of light guides at the connection part thereof above the windows of the retention cover.
