ため安価であり、煩雑な配線処理を行う必要もない。As described above, according to the light-emitting display of the present invention, the emitted light emitted from the center of the light-emitting display is condensed by the convex lens function of the convex lens-shaped core, and exhibits sharp directivity and improved brightness. Since the radiation emitted from the outside is diffused by the concave lens function of the concave lens-shaped outer periphery, it can be suitably used for traffic information boards, etc., where the display must be clearly visible even in bright daylight. . Naturally, it can also be suitably used when it is desired to enhance visibility with strong light at night. Furthermore, since no expensive light source is used, the cost is low, and there is no need for complicated wiring.
