Disclosed is an indicator which includes a scale plate having a ground color, a pointer rotatably mounted on the scale plate and indicia such as numerals and scales arranged on the scale plate for indicating a specific value in cooperation with the pointer. The pointer includes an upper surface on which a fluorescent part having fluorescent brightener therein is formed, and the area of the fluorescent part of the pointer is smaller than that of the upper surface of the pointer. Each of the indicia has a contour defined by a normal ink having a different color from the ground color of the scale plate and a fluorescent part having fluorescent brightener therein formed in the contour of each indicia. The area of the fluorescent part of the indicia is smaller than that of the indicia. This indicator further includes an unltraviolet light source for illuminating the fluorescent parts of the pointer and the indicia so as to fluoresce only when the ultraviolet light source is turned on, whereby suppressing that the indicia and pointer become too bright and distracting for a driver when illuminated by the ultraviolet light source.

An indicator, comprising: a scale plate having a certain ground color; a pointer rotatably mounted on said scale plate, said pointer including an upper surface having an area in which a fluorescent part comprising a fluorescent brightener is formed therein, and said area of the fluorescent part of said pointer being less than that of the upper surface of the pointer; indicia such as numerals and scales arranged on said scale plate for indicating a specific value in cooperation with said pointer, each of said indicia having a contour defined by a non-fluorescent ink having a different color from said ground color of said scale plate, a fluorescent part having an area and comprising a fluorescent brightener formed within said contour of each indicia, and said area of said indicia fluorescent part being less than that of said indicia; and an ultraviolet light source for illuminating said pointer and indicia fluorescent parts so as to fluoresce only when said ultraviolet light source is turned on, whereby said pointer and indicia fluorescent part areas are less than said pointer and indicia areas so as to reduce brightness and minimize distraction for a driver when illuminated by said ultraviolet light source.
