LIGHT GUIDE MEMBER AND INDICATOR

To provide a light guide member which is easy to assemble to a mounting object member, and to provide an indicator using the light guide member.SOLUTION: A light guide member 2 includes a first light guide part 21 for guiding light which has entered from a first incident surface 21a to a first emission surface 21b, a second light guide part 22 for guiding light which has entered from a second incident surface 22a to a second emission surface 22b, and a connection part 23 for connecting first and second light guide parts 21, 22, and the first and second light guide parts 21, 22 and the connection part 23 are formed integrally by a light-transmitting material. In the light guide member 2, the connection part 23 has a light propagation suppressing shape for suppressing the light which has entered from a connection place 210 with the first light guide part 21 being internally reflected and propagating to the second light guide part 22, and for suppressing the light which has entered from a connection place 220 with the second light guide part 22 being internally reflected and propagating to the first light guide part 21.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】取付対象部材への組み付けが容易な導光部材、及びその導光部材を用いたインジケータを提供する。【解決手段】本発明の一態様として、第１の入射面２１ａから入射した光を第１の出射面２１ｂに導く第１の導光部２１と、第２の入射面２２ａから入射した光を第２の出射面２２ｂに導く第２の導光部２２と、第１及び第２の導光部２１，２２を連結する連結部２３とを有し、第１及び第２の導光部２１，２２ならびに連結部２３が透光性材料により一体に形成された導光部材２であって、連結部２３は、第１の導光部２１との接続箇所２１０から入射した光が内部反射して第２の導光部２２に伝搬することを抑制すると共に、第２の導光部２２との接続箇所２２０から入射した光が内部反射して第１の導光部２１に伝搬することを抑制する光伝搬抑制形状を有している、導光部材２を提供する。【選択図】図１
