Abstract:
A vehicle instrument configured so that turning on and off the light sources without depending on inputted vehicle information enables the instrument to be illuminated in a visually effective manner. The instrument is provided with: input circuits into which vehicle information is inputted as electric signals and which are provided with resistors connected to light sources relating to the vehicle information; electric-potential adjustment circuits for adjusting the electric potentials of lines of wiring between the input circuits and the light sources on the basis of control signals from a controller and eliminating influence on the light sources from the vehicle information; and light source control circuits which, when influence on the light sources is eliminated by the electric-potential adjustment circuits, operate and visualize turning on and off of the light sources on basis of the control signals from the controller.
