FIG. 2D is a diagram showing a state in which the spacer 3 shown in FIG. 2A is cut at the dotted line position in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the spacer 3 has step portions 31 and 32 formed on the front surface and an opening 33 formed in the center. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, a step portion 34 is also formed on the rear surface of the spacer 3.

  As shown in FIG. 2C, the step 34 on the rear surface of the front spacer is engaged with the step 31 on the front surface of the rear spacer, so that the two spacers 3 are integrated. By removing the regions (a, b, c) at the dotted line positions in FIG. 2A from the spacer 3 having such a configuration, the spacer 3 of the present embodiment as shown in FIG. 2D is formed. The That is, the spacers 3 with the cutouts 35a, 35b, and 35c are formed on the left and right and the bottom, respectively. Thus, the front panel 2 is fitted into the step 32 on the front surface of the spacer 3.

  Here, for the sake of convenience, the description has been made as if the spacer 3 is cut at the position of the dotted line in FIG. 2A. However, the spacer 3 in FIG. 2D is the same as the spacer 3 in FIG. In addition to being formed by actually performing mechanical cutting, the three parts of the spacer 3 shown in FIG. 2 (d) may be individually formed by injection molding or the like.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the passage 4. 2A is an exploded perspective view of the passage 4, and FIG. 2B is a perspective view when the frame portion 42 is viewed from the back side.

  As shown in the figure, the passage 4 includes a transparent plate portion 41 and a transparent frame portion 42. In the plate portion 41, an arc portion 41a is formed at the upper center portion, and a linear portion 41b is formed following the arc portion 41a. Further, a projecting portion 41 c that protrudes downward is formed at the lower central portion of the plate portion 41. Further, in the vicinity of the protrusion 41c on the front surface of the plate portion 41, a recessed portion 41d that is recessed by one step is formed, and further, an engagement groove portion 41e that engages with the protrusion piece 42e on the frame portion 42 side is formed.

  On the upper surface of the frame part 42, an arc part 42a and a straight part 42b having a shape corresponding to the arc part 41a and the straight part 41b on the plate part 41 side are formed. Further, a projecting portion 42 c is formed on the lower surface of the frame portion 42 at a position corresponding to the projecting portion 41 c on the plate portion 41 side. As shown in FIG. 3B, a groove portion 42d is formed on the back surface of the frame portion 42 so as to connect from the left and right ends to the protruding portion 42c. This groove part 42d is a part through which the pachinko ball passes. A projecting piece 42e that engages with the engaging groove 41e of the plate portion 41 is formed on the back surface of the frame portion 42. Furthermore, the protrusion 41c is formed with two protrusions 42f that engage with the edge portion of the recess 41d of the plate portion 41. The frame portion 42 is assembled to the plate portion 41 by engaging the projecting pieces 42e and 42f on the frame portion 42 side with the engaging groove portion 41e and the concave portion 41d on the plate portion 41 side, respectively. Thereby, the passage 4 is completed.

  In addition, the circular arc part 41a should just be not only a downward convex U-shape but a downward convex shape. For example, the positions of the protrusions 41c and 42c may be arranged at positions shifted to the right or left from the lower central part.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the front frame 1, the rear cover 7, and the backlight unit 6. (A), (b), and (c) are a perspective view, a front view, and a right side view of the front frame 1, respectively. FIG. 4D is a view showing a state in which the rear cover 7 is combined with the front frame 1. FIG. 4E is a perspective view of the backlight unit 6.

  The front frame 1 is formed with notches 11a and 11b extending from the front surface to the side surface at the center of the left and right sides, and further a notch 11c is formed at the center of the lower portion. When the three spacers 3 are accommodated in the front frame 1, the notches 35a, 35b, and 35c of these spacers 3 are arranged corresponding to the positions of the notches 11a, 11b, and 11c of the front frame 1, respectively. . Furthermore, the opening 12 is formed in the front frame 1, and the notch 13 is formed in the left and right side surfaces.

  As shown in FIG. 4D, notches 71 and holes 72 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the rear cover 7 at positions corresponding to the notches 13 on the left and right side surfaces of the front frame 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 4E, screw holes 61 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the backlight unit 6 at positions corresponding to the notches 13 of the front frame 1. A frame 62 is attached to the front surface of the backlight unit 6. The front surface shape of the frame 62 is the same as the front surface shape of the spacer 3 shown in FIG. The rear panel 5 is fitted into the step portion of the frame 62 corresponding to the step portion 32 of the spacer 3.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the thickness of the passage 4 in the front-rear direction is substantially the same as the thickness when three spacers 3 are stacked. At the time of assembling the liquid crystal display device, the two spacers 3 and the front panel 2 are combined as described with reference to FIG. At this time, the right and left straight portions 4a and 4b of the passage 4 and the lower protrusion 4c are fitted into the left and right cutouts 35a and 35b and the lower cutout 35c of the spacer 3, respectively. Further, with the rear panel 5 attached to the frame 62 of the backlight unit 6 from the front, the front surface of the frame 62 is engaged with the step 34 on the rear surface of the rearmost spacer 3. In this way, a structure in which the parts from the front panel 2 to the backlight unit 6 are combined is produced.

  This component is housed in the front frame 1 and screwed into the screw hole 61 of the backlight unit 6 through the corresponding notch 13. Further, the rear cover 7 is combined from the rear. As a result, the state shown in FIG. Finally, screws are fixed to the screw holes 61 of the backlight unit 6 through the holes 72. Thereby, the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG. 5 is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, from the left and right side surfaces of the liquid crystal display device, the openings 40a and 40b of the passage 4 face the outside through the notches 11a and 11b of the front frame 1. Further, from the lower side surface of the liquid crystal display device, the opening 40c of the passage 4 faces the outside through the notch 11c of the front frame 1. The openings 40a, 40b, and 40c are formed by assembling the frame portion 42 to the plate portion 41 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the pachinko balls that have entered from the openings 40a and 40b pass through the passage 4 in the liquid crystal display device and exit from the opening 40c.

  As described above, the passage 4 is transparent. Therefore, the display of the portion of the passage 4 of the front panel 2 is controlled to be transparent or translucent, so that the player can visually recognize the passage of the pachinko ball in the passage 4. Further, notches 11 a, 11 b, 11 c are formed in the passage 4 portion of the front frame 1. Therefore, the player can also visually recognize the pachinko balls immediately after entering the openings 40a and 40b and immediately before exiting from the opening 40c.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration of a main part when the liquid crystal display device is incorporated in a pachinko machine. In the figure, only the circuit block 100 for driving the front panel 2 is shown as the circuit block on the liquid crystal display device side, but the circuit block for driving the rear panel 5 has the same configuration. ing.

The circuit block 100 on the liquid crystal display device side includes a connector 101, an image control unit 102,
A power supply circuit 103, a gate driver 104, and a source driver 105 are arranged. Further, on the pachinko machine side, an image processing board 200 and a game control board 210 are arranged, and on these boards, microcomputers 203 and 213, ROMs 201 and 211, and RAMs 202 and 212 are arranged, respectively. Yes. In addition, a power supply unit 220 is arranged on the pachinko machine side.

  The power supply unit 220 supplies backlight power to the backlight unit 6 via the connector 101. Thereby, the backlight unit 6 is driven, and the backlight light is emitted from the backlight unit 6. The power supply unit 220 supplies panel driving power to the power supply circuit 103 via the connector 101. Upon receiving such power, the power supply circuit 103 supplies power to the image control unit 102, the gate driver 104, and the source driver 105. In addition, the power supply unit 220 supplies power to circuits arranged on the substrates 200 and 210.

  The ROM 201 of the substrate 200 stores image display data and programs. The microcomputer 203 performs image signal generation processing while using the RAM 202 as a work area, and outputs the generated image signal to the image control unit 102 via the connector 101. The image control unit 102 generates a data signal based on the input image signal and outputs it to the source driver 105 while outputting the control signal to the gate driver 104 and the source driver 105. Thereby, an image based on the image signal is drawn on the liquid crystal panel 2.

  The ROM 211 of the substrate 210 stores a program for controlling element blocks (such as a driving block for an accessory) arranged in the pachinko machine. The microcomputer 213 performs control processing while using the RAM 212 as a work area, and supplies a control signal to the corresponding element block.

  In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display device is assembled to the pachinko machine so that the inner surfaces on the back side of the openings 40a, 40b, and 40c of the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG. 5 are substantially flush with the board surface of the pachinko machine. That is, the liquid crystal display device can be arranged on the pachinko machine in a state of protruding from the board surface of the pachinko machine. For this reason, some of the pachinko balls that move on the board during the game operation enter the passage 4 through the openings 40a and 40b.

  Since the liquid crystal display device protrudes from the surface of the pachinko machine, the thickness of the gaming machine can be reduced.

  Further, the inner surface on the back side of the passage (the inner surface on the back side of the openings 40a, 40b, and 40c) may be disposed on the back side of the board surface of the pachinko machine. In that case, what is necessary is just to add the part which guides a pachinko ball to a passage. Thus, the mounting position of the liquid crystal display device can be freely changed.

  In the present embodiment, even if a pachinko ball enters the passage 4 from the openings 40a and 40b as described above, the display of the front panel 2 is displayed so that the player can visually recognize the movement of the pachinko ball until it exits from the opening 40c. Be controlled. Specifically, the front panel 2 is driven so that the portion of the front panel 2 corresponding to the passage 4 is always transparent or translucent during a game operation.

More specifically, in the configuration shown in FIG. 6, the image data stored in the ROM 201 is image data that displays an image in which the portion of the front panel 2 corresponding to the passage 4 is transparent or translucent. Yes. That is, the source image data is configured to correspond to the passage 4. In this case, the circuit block 100 on the liquid crystal display device side does not require a special circuit configuration for processing the portion of the front panel 2 corresponding to the passage 4 to be transparent or translucent. The image control unit 102 may drive the gate driver 104 and the source driver 105 so as to display the image signal input from the image processing substrate 200 as it is.

  Although only the driving of the front panel 2 has been described here, the rear panel 5 is also preferably driven so that the portion corresponding to the passage 4 is transparent or translucent. If it carries out like this, since the channel | path 4 will be easily illuminated from the back surface with the light from the backlight unit 6, the movement of the pachinko ball in the channel | path 4 will become easier to see.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the passage 4 through which the pachinko balls can pass is also arranged in the arrangement area of the liquid crystal display device, and therefore, the passage 4 can broaden the expression of the fun of the gaming machine. . In addition, since the liquid crystal display device is disposed in a state of protruding forward from the board surface of the pachinko machine, the thickness of the pachinko machine can be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the increase in the material cost and transportation cost of the pachinko machine due to the increase in thickness can be suppressed. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the movement of the pachinko ball between the opening 40a, 40b to the opening 40c can be visually recognized by the player. Therefore, the movement of the pachinko balls in the liquid crystal display device can be made interesting by devising the shape of the passage.

<Modification 1>
In the configuration of FIG. 6, the source image data is configured in advance so that the portion corresponding to the passage 4 is transparent or translucent, but the source image data is not specially devised. The circuit configuration on the liquid crystal display device side may be devised so that the image of the portion corresponding to the passage 4 is transparent or translucent.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the circuit block 100 in this case. In this configuration example, an image processing block 110 is disposed between the connector 101 and the image control unit 102. The image processing block 110 includes a ROM 111, a RAM 112, and a microcomputer 113.

  The ROM 111 stores a control program for making the portion corresponding to the passage 4 transparent or translucent. The microcomputer 113 includes a CPU, and a function as an image processing unit is given by a control program stored in the ROM 111. The RAM 112 is used as a work area by the microcomputer 113 during image processing.

  During the game operation, the microcomputer 113 processes the image signal so that the light transmittance in the portion corresponding to the passage 4 of the front panel 2 is increased. Alternatively, the microcomputer 113 processes the image signal so that the portion corresponding to the passage 4 of the front panel 2 uniformly has the maximum light transmittance. The microcomputer 113 outputs the processed image signal to the image control unit 102. The image control unit 102 drives the front panel 2 based on the input image signal. Thereby, the display image by the front panel 2 becomes transparent or semi-transparent at a portion corresponding to the passage 4. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the movement of the pachinko ball in the passage 4.

  Similarly, for the circuit block of the rear panel 5, it is desirable to add a configuration corresponding to the image processing block 110 and process the display image so that the portion corresponding to the passage 4 is transparent or translucent. If it carries out like this, since the channel | path 4 will be easily illuminated from the back surface with the light from the backlight unit 6, the movement of the pachinko ball in the channel | path 4 will become easier to see.

According to this modified example, it is not necessary to create a source image so as to correspond to the path 4. That is, regardless of the source image data, the portion corresponding to the passage 4 can be transparent or translucent. Therefore, the degree of freedom in selecting a pachinko machine to be incorporated into the liquid crystal display device can be increased.

<Modification 2>
In the configuration of FIG. 7, the display corresponding to the passage 4 of the front panel 2 is always transparent or semi-transparent regardless of whether a pachinko ball has entered the passage 4. Only when it enters, the display of the part corresponding to the passage 4 of the front panel 2 may be transparent or semi-transparent.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration example in this case. In this configuration example, a passage sensor 121 that detects the passage of a pachinko ball is disposed in the openings 40 a and 40 b of the passage 4. Further, a switch 114 is arranged in the image processing block 110. A detection signal from the passage sensor 121 is input to the microcomputer 113 and the switch 114. When the detection signal is not input from the passage sensor 121, the switch 114 outputs the image signal from the connector 101 to the image control unit 102 as it is, and when the detection signal is input from the passage sensor 121, the switch 114 is for a certain time T. The image signal from the microcomputer 113 is output to the image control unit 102. Here, the time T is set to be slightly longer than the time until the pachinko balls that have entered from the openings 40a and 40b exit from the opening 40c.

  According to this modified example, when the pachinko ball is not in the passage 4, the display of the portion corresponding to the passage 4 of the front panel 2 is not transparent or translucent. Is displayed. Therefore, the visual effect by the image can be enhanced.

  In addition, if the detection signal from the passage sensor 121 is used for controlling an element block (such as a driving block for an accessory) arranged in the pachinko machine, the fun of the pachinko machine can be enhanced. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the detection signal from the passage sensor 121 is input to the microcomputer 213 of the substrate 210 disposed on the pachinko machine side via the connector 101. This detection signal may be supplied from the outside of the liquid crystal display device, for example, from a pachinko machine body.

<Modification 3>
In the above embodiment, the straight portions 4a, 4b and the protrusions 4c of the passage 4 and the peripheral edge of the front panel 2 are exposed forward from the notches 11a, 11b, 11c of the front frame 1 shown in FIG. There is a step. In this modified example, an example in which a configuration for preventing this step is added is shown. FIGS. 9A to 9C each illustrate a configuration for preventing such a step. FIGS. 9A to 9C are cross-sectional views taken along the line CC ′ in FIG. Although only the configuration of the right notch 11b is shown here, the left notch 11a and the lower notch 11c are similarly configured.

  In FIG. 9A, the width of the notch 11b of the front frame 1 is narrower than that of the above embodiment, and a transparent member 14a filling the notch 11b is attached to the upper surface of the passage 4 and the front panel 2. ing.

  In FIG. 9B, a transparent film 14b is attached to the upper surface of the notch 11b of the front frame 1.

  In FIG. 9C, the width of the notch 11b of the front frame 1 is narrower than that of the above embodiment, and a protruding portion 42g is formed on the upper surface of the passage 4 so as to fill the notch 11b.

  According to this modified example, the step of the notch 11b can be filled with a simple configuration.

<Modification 4>
In this modified example, the size and the number of openings arranged on the side surface of the liquid crystal display device can be appropriately changed.

  FIG. 10 shows the configuration of this modification. FIG. 4A is a right side view of the front frame 1, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line D-D ′ in FIG. FIG. 10C is a diagram illustrating an adjustment plate 15d that can be attached to the attachment portion 15 shown in FIG. 2A and 2B show only the configuration of the right side surface of the front frame 1, the left side surface of the front frame 1 is configured in the same manner.

  A mounting portion 15 is formed on the right side surface of the front frame 1. An opening 15a that continues to the inside of the front frame 1 is formed in the mounting portion 15, and a guide portion 15b having a hook-like cross section is formed at the front and rear edge portions of the opening 15a. A wall-shaped receiving portion 15c is formed at the lower edge portion of the opening 15a. The gap P of the guide portion 15b shown in FIG. 5B is set slightly larger than the thickness of the adjustment plate 15d. The distance Q between the guide portions 15b is set to be slightly wider than the width of the adjustment plate 15d. The adjustment plate 15d is formed with openings 15e having different shapes and numbers.

  The adjustment plate 15d is attached by sliding the adjustment plate 15d downward from above the attachment portion 15 with the lower end of the adjustment plate 15d engaged with the guide portion 15b, as shown in FIG. Done. In the mounted state, the lower end of the adjustment plate 15d contacts the receiving portion 15c.

  In this modified example, the openings 40 a and 40 b of the passage 4 are approximately the same size as the opening 15 a of the front frame 1. The passage 4 is arranged so that the openings 40 a and 40 b having such a size are aligned with the position of the opening 15 a of the front frame 1.

  According to this modification, the shape and number of the openings 15e arranged on the side surface of the liquid crystal display device can be changed as appropriate. Therefore, since the probability that a pachinko ball enters the liquid crystal display device can be changed, the fun of the pachinko machine can be changed.

<Modification 5>
In the modification example 4, the shape and number of the openings 15e arranged on the side surface of the liquid crystal display device can be manually changed. However, in this modification example, the size of the opening arranged on the side surface of the liquid crystal display device is changed. And the number can be changed automatically.

  In the configuration example of FIG. 11A, the receiving portion 15c is omitted from the configuration of FIG. 10A, and the adjustment plate 15d is only guided up and down by the guide portion 15b. The adjustment plate 15d is longer than the guide portion 15b. Four groups of openings 15e are arranged on the adjustment plate 15d. A gear portion 15f that meshes with the gear 15g on the front frame 1 side is formed on the side surface of the adjustment plate 15d. The gear 15g is connected to a drive shaft 15i of a thin stepping motor disposed on the side surface of the front frame 1 via a connecting gear 15h.

  In this configuration example, the shape and number of openings arranged on the side surface of the liquid crystal display device can be changed by driving and controlling the stepping motor to change the opening 15e facing the opening 40b of the passage 4. Note that the position of the adjustment plate 15d can be detected based on, for example, the number of steps of the stepping motor.

  FIG. 11B is a diagram illustrating a configuration example in the case of using a disk-shaped adjustment plate 15j. In this configuration example, the adjustment plate 15j is pivotally supported on the side surface of the front frame 1 so as to be rotatable. A gear is formed on the side surface of the adjustment plate 15j, and this gear meshes with a gear on the outer peripheral side of the connecting gear 15k. The gear on the inner peripheral side of the connecting gear 15k meshes with a gear 15l mounted on the drive shaft 15m of the stepping motor. Two openings 15e having different shapes are formed in the same circumferential shape in the adjustment plate 15j.

  In this configuration example, the shape of the opening arranged on the side surface of the liquid crystal display device can be changed by driving and controlling the stepping motor to change the opening 15e facing the opening 40b of the passage 4. The position of the adjustment plate 15j can be detected based on the number of steps of the stepping motor, for example.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a circuit configuration of this modification. In the figure, the circuit block 100 on the liquid crystal display device side has an opening controller 122 and an opening driver 123 added to the configuration of FIG. The circuit configuration on the pachinko machine side is the same as the configuration in FIG. However, as described with reference to FIG. 7, since the image processing block 110 controls to make the portion corresponding to the passage 4 transparent or translucent, general-purpose image data is stored in the ROM 201. A control signal from the microcomputer 213 is input to the opening control unit 122.

  The opening driving unit 123 includes a stepping motor for driving the adjustment plates 15d and 15j described with reference to FIGS. Based on the control signal from the microcomputer 213, the opening control unit 122 is configured such that any one of the plurality of openings 15e formed in the adjustment plates 15d and 15j in FIGS. The aperture driving unit 123 is driven so as to be positioned at the position.

  The microcomputer 213 transmits a control signal for changing the opening 15e positioned in the openings 40a and 40b of the passage 4 to the opening control unit 122 according to the game situation. In response to this, the opening control unit 122 calculates the number of steps for positioning the instructed opening 15e in the openings 40a and 40b of the passage 4, and outputs a drive signal for driving the stepping motor by the calculated number of steps. To 123. Accordingly, the adjusting plates 15d and 15j shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B are driven, and the instructed opening 15e is positioned in the openings 40a and 40b of the passage 4. Thus, the shape and number of the openings on the left and right side surfaces of the liquid crystal display device are changed, and the probability that the pachinko ball enters the liquid crystal display device changes. This enhances the fun of the pachinko machine.

  Thus, in this modified example, the probability that a pachinko ball enters the liquid crystal display device can be changed according to the game situation, and the fun of the pachinko machine can be enhanced.

<Modification 6>
In the above embodiment, the tunnel-shaped passage 4 is formed, but in the present modification, the passage 4 is formed by the receiving surface.

  FIG. 13 shows a generation process of the passage 4 according to this modification. In the same figure, as in the case of FIG. 2, for convenience, the spacer 3 is shown without a notch. In FIG. 9A, the position of the notch 35a is indicated by a broken line. As shown in FIG. 5A, notches 35a, 35b, and 35c are formed only in the second and third spacers 3, and notches 35a, 35b, and 35c are formed in the frontmost and rearmost spacers 3. Not.

However, the spacer 3 of the present embodiment is thicker than that of the first embodiment. Further, the depth of the stepped portion 34 is transparent between the stepped portion 34 of the front spacer 3 and the rear spacer 3 when the two spacers 3 are combined as shown in the leftmost part of FIG. The depth is such that the plate 8 is sandwiched.

  At the time of assembling, first, the objects 81 and 83 are attached to the mounting holes 8 a and 8 b of the transparent plate 8. Here, the accessory 81 is attached to the shaft of the motor 82, and the accessory 83 is attached to the rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism 84. As for the accessory 81, the motor 82 is attached to the transparent plate 8 with the rotation shaft of the motor 82 inserted into the attachment hole 8 a, and then the accessory 81 is attached to the rotation shaft of the motor 82. As for the accessory 83, the base of the rotation mechanism 84 is attached to the transparent plate 8 with the rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism 84 inserted into the mounting hole 8 b, and then the accessory 83 is used as the rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism 84.

As shown in the figure, the ID electrode 85b is short-circuited to the common electrode 85a.

  When the transparent plate 8 is fitted to the stepped portion 34 of the spacer 3, the ID electrode 85b is in contact with any one of the detection terminals D1 to D4. Thereby, one of the detection terminals D1 to D4 is short-circuited to the common terminal C. Which kind of transparent plate 8 is attached is detected by the short circuit state of the detection terminals D1 to D4.

  16 is a case where the transparent plate 8 is sandwiched between the front and rear spacers 3 as shown in FIG. 15, but is inserted from the side as shown in FIG. A configuration in which the transparent plate 8 is attached to the spacer 3 can be employed. In this case, the spacer 3 is formed with a guide groove 39 for inserting the transparent plate 8 from the right side surface to the front side of the left side surface, as shown in FIG. A cutout 38 is formed on the front surface for allowing an accessory or a motor to pass therethrough.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 6C, after the transparent plate 8 with the objects 81 and 83 attached is inserted into the guide groove 39 and attached to the spacer 3, the front spacer 3 is placed on the front surface of the spacer 3.

Thereby, the display of the front panel 2 becomes transparent at the position corresponding to the passage 4 so that the pachinko balls passing through the passage 4 and the passage 4 can be visually recognized from the front.

  In the configuration of FIG. 18, the image processing block 110 is arranged in the circuit block 100 on the liquid crystal display device side. However, as shown in FIG. 20, the microcomputer 203 on the pachinko machine side has the same function as the image processing block 110. If it is, the detection signal from the ID detection unit 131 is transmitted to the microcomputer 203. In this case, a transparent pattern as shown in FIG. 19 is stored in the ROM 201 in association with the type of the transparent plate 8.

  The microcomputer 203 acquires from the ROM 201 a transparent pattern that makes the position corresponding to the accessory or the passage transparent based on the received detection signal. Then, an image signal is generated so that a region corresponding to the acquired transparent pattern is transparent, and the generated image signal is output to the image control unit 102 via the connector 101. Thereby, the display of the front panel 2 becomes transparent at the position corresponding to the accessory or the passage, and the accessory or the passage can be visually recognized from the front.
