A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

In a light guide pointer, a vertex portion of a light control space is located on a sub-pointer portion side with respect to a center axis of a light entrance shaft, providing appropriate luminance balance between a main pointer portion and the sub-pointer portion. The light control space includes a circular arc portion, thereby broadening diffusion range of light that has passed through the light control space and preventing attenuation of light traveling along inclined portions. A center of the circular arc portion is located on the main pointer portion side with respect to the center axis, allowing strong light that has entered the light control space from the vertex portion to be diffused more. Local focusing and/or attenuation of light can be prevented, while providing appropriate luminance balance between the main pointer portion side and the sub-pointer portion side, thereby reducing luminance unevenness at the light emitting face.

An aerial display device is mounted on a vehicle and displays information toward a driver seated in a driver seat of the vehicle. The aerial display device includes a display panel and a reflector array. The display panel including a display surface that emits images as light, the display panel being orientated such that the display surface faces toward the driver seat, the display surface including a screen display area and an aerial display area located next to the screen display area. The aerial display area is located at the upper edge portion of the display surface in an installed orientation. The screen display area is a part of the display surface located below the aerial display area. The reflector array forms the light emitted from the aerial display area as an aerial display image in midair above to the aerial display area.

A carbon decorative panel includes a clear decoration body and a carbon color layer. The clear decoration body has a main body 10a transmitting light and includes a carbon-toned irregular surface provided on the opposite side to the viewer side of the main body and having a carbon-toned pattern formed with protrusions and depressions. The carbon color layer is laminated on the carbon-toned irregular surface, includes a reflective surface reflecting incident light transmitted through the clear decoration body, and is colored in a carbon color.
