Abstract

An image forming apparatus 1 is provided with an apparatus main body 2 for performing a predetermined process on a sheet, a cover 34 openable and closable relative to the apparatus main body 2, a light emitting unit 51 provided in the apparatus main body 2 and including an emission source 511 for generating light, a control board 512 for controlling the emission source 511 and causing it to generate the light and wiring 513 electrically connected to the control board 512, and a display member (52) provided in the cover 34, arranged to face the emission source 511 and including an incident portion 521 on which the light is incident, an output portion 522 for outputting the light to the outside and a light guide portion 523 for guiding the light from the incident portion 521 to the output portion 522.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus, and more particularly, to an image forming apparatus having a display device that displays status information of the image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] Conventional image forming apparatuses generate various status information accompanying the image forming process of forming an image on a sheet. The status information includes, for example, information for notifying that the toner is insufficient, that a paper jam has occurred, and that the sheet is insufficient. LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are often used as display devices for notifying the user of such state information. [0003] A display device generally includes a light emitting unit and a display unit. The light emitting unit has an LED as a light source; a control board that controls the LED to emit light based on detection by a detection device that detects status information of the image forming device; and wi...
