Patent attributes
An electronic equipment includes a light source, in which light of the light source is guided and emitted from an operation member having translucent properties via an optical waveguide, wherein a phosphor emitting visible light by being excited by the light from the light source is contained in a path through which the light of the light source is guided. A backlight structure in which a light source is provided in a printed substrate that is inside a casing having a waveguide plate, and light of the light source is transmitted through the waveguide plate and emitted, wherein a wavelength-converting phosphor that emits light by being excited by the light of the light source is provided in a waveguide path leading to a point where the light of the light source is transmitted through the waveguide plate and is emitted out, except the light source and the printed substrate.
