PURPOSE: To efficiently gather a light emitted substantially horizontally from the side of a light emitting diode to the periphery of the center of a segment display surface and to make the distribution of brightness at the display surface uniform by bending the metal frame for placing the diode in a recess state, and forming a reflecting surface. CONSTITUTION: A metal frame 5 is bent at the opposed ends of lead frames 2, 4 in recess state having a bent surface. A light emitting diode 1 is mounted at the frame 5 and the bent site in the recess of the frame 5, and so enclosed that the diode 1 is opposed to the center via a reflecting surface 6 bent in the front surface shape. Thus, the light emitted from the side of the diode 1 substantially in the direction is emitted obliquely upward at the peripheries α, β the center of the display surface 9, the light emitted upward in the vicinities α, β of the end is emitted upward, and dispersed to the substantially center and converged, and hence the irregularity of the brightness at the display surface can be suppressed. |
