A cornhole platform is provided that offers improved distributed lighting across the platform playing surfaces for nighttime play, as well as enhanced aesthetics and graphic presentation. The platform playing surfaces are formed from acrylic or acrylic glass. A translucent finish is obtained on the playing surface by sanding the underside layer of the acrylic sheet, where the diffused finish is used to trap light provided by light sources that are arranged along the perimeter of a frame that holds the one or more acrylic sheets. The sanded finish acts to diffuse light from the light source to more evenly fill the playing surface with light. As a result, the “spotlight effect” common to conventional illuminated gameboards is precluded thereby making play under low ambient light conditions of twilight or outdoor darkness possible without creating night vision impairment associated with looking into a comparatively bright light relative to the ambient lighting. 1. A gaming platform comprising:a frame;a light source mounted to said frame;one or more translucent panels each having a diffused finish supported by said frame, said one or more translucent panels forming a gaming surface with a target hole in one of said one or more translucent panels, the diffused finish of said one or more translucent panels acting to evenly fill the playing surface with light from said light source; andat least one support leg pivotally attached to said frame.2.

A illuminating body, which is part of a display device provided in a vehicle-mounted manipulation switch, is formed by bonding a first illuminating member and a second illuminating member together so as to form a clearance between the first illuminating member and the second illuminating member. The first illuminating member is made of a resin having high light permeability such as, for example, a milky synthetic resin. The second illuminating member is made of a resin having low light permeability. The synthetic resin of the second illuminating member is in a color similar to the color of the manipulation surface of the manipulation button. The color of the synthetic resin is, for example, a dim smoke color. The second illuminating member has a graphic display part fitted into the display window and also has a flange formed at the bottom end of the graphic display part.
