Provided is a plant equipment state gathering system which simplifies the work relating to attaching and/or replacing a detection device that detects the state of plant equipment. A plant equipment state gathering system is provided with a detection device, a mobile terminal, a network construction device and a data storage device. The detection device includes a tag unit that can store, in a non-contact manner, at least some setting information that at least includes network information for connecting to the network from the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a tag control unit that allows the tag unit of the detection device to automatically store, in a non-contact manner, at least some of the setting information. When network information is stored in the tag unit of the detection device by the mobile terminal the network construction device uses this network information to determine whether to allow the connection of the detection device to the network.

Plant equipment state gathering system

Provided is a display device for which the display content is easily viewed. A display device comprises: a cover plate having a gauge section on which an index is represented and a light transmitting portion that transmits light from the back; a needle that rotates on the gauge section and points to the index; and a display that is disposed behind the light transmitting portion and shows an image via the light transmitting portion. When viewing the display device in planar view, the gauge section has an overlapping region that overlaps with a portion of a display section where the display emits light, and the cover plate adheres to the display by a transparent resin that is between the cover plate and the display and spans at least the region of the light transmitting portion.

Display device

Provided is a display device with which it is possible to implement a novel display. A display device comprises: a display unit which displays a display image in a display region; a framing unit is configured from a plurality of components; and a moving device which moves at least one of the plurality of components. The framing unit is segmented by moving at least one of the components by the moving mechanism. Prior to segmenting, the framing unit surrounds a partial region of the display region of the display unit. The display unit displays a different display image before and after the segmenting of the framing unit, and displays a notification image which fits the shape of the framing unit at least either before or after the segmentation of the framing unit.

An on-vehicle display apparatus with an increased flat display size. The on-vehicle display apparatus includes a flat display capable of displaying various types of information, a light-transmitting substrate provided on a front-face side of the flat display, a pointer provided in the light-transmitting substrate, and a pointer drive means provided on a back-face side of the flat display. The pointer drive means rotates the pointer. The apparatus further includes a movement mechanism for moving the light-transmitting substrate to the outside of a display range. A first magnet is provided for the pointer, and a second magnet is provided for the pointer drive means and is configured to be opposite to first magnet.

On-vehicle flat display apparatus

An indicating instrument is provided in which a pointer is secured to pointer drive means by attraction force of magnets and the magnetic influence of the magnets can be reduced to improve the indication accuracy of the pointer. The indicating instrument has a display plate, a pointerprovided on the front-face side of the display plate, and pointer drive means provided on the back-face side of the display platefor rotating the pointer. The indicating instrument includes a first magnetof ring shape provided in the pointer, a second magnetprovided in the pointer drive means such that the second magnetis opposite to the first magnet, a rotation drive memberincluded in the pointer drive means and rotating the second magnet, and a magnetic shield memberprovided between the second magnetand the rotation drive member, wherein the pointeris rotated in association with rotation drive of the pointer drive means by attraction force of the first and second magnets

Indicating instrument

To provide an indicator apparatus in which a pointer is secured to a pointer drive means by attraction force of magnets and the pointer can be secured more tightly to prevent an overshoot and pulsation of the pointer. The indicator apparatus has a display plate, a pointerprovided on a front-face side of the display plate, a pointer drive means provided on a back-face side of the display platefor rotating the pointer, a first magnetin a ring shape provided for the pointer, and a second magnetprovided for the pointer drive means to be opposite to the first magnet, in which the pointeris rotated in association with rotation drive of the pointer drive means by attraction force of the first and second magnets. A shaft portionrotatably supporting the pointeris located in the display plate. The shaft portionincludes a main shaft, a main-shaft receive portionsecuring the main shaftto the display plate, and a rotation shaft portionprovided rotatably about the main shaftand located on and secured to the pointer

Indicator apparatus

To provide an indicator apparatus in which a pointer is secured to a pointer drive means by attraction force of magnets and it is possible to prevent an overshoot and pulsation of the pointer with sufficient attraction force. The indicator apparatus has a display plate, a pointerprovided on a front-face side of the display plate, and a pointer drive means provided on a back-face side of the display platefor rotating the pointer. The indicator apparatus includes first magnetin a ring shape provided for the pointerand a second magnetprovided for the pointer drive means to be opposite to the first magnet, and the pointeris rotated in association with rotation drive of the pointer drive means by attraction force of the first and second magnets. A yokein a ring shape is located closer to a surface of the first magnetthat is not opposite to the second magnet
