1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a case having a crystal attached to an upper end thereof, the crystal having an upper surface and a lower surface;
a watch module disposed within the case having an upper end and a lower end;
an optically transparent dial plate disposed on the upper end of the watch module, the optically transparent dial plate having first and second sides;
a plurality of indexes disposed at predetermined positions on the first side of the dial plate along its periphery;
a UV ray emitting element disposed within the watch module for irradiating the second side of the optically transparent dial plate with UV rays;
a dichroic mirror provided on the whole lower surface of the crystal which reflects the UV rays irradiated by the UV ray emitting element and which enables other rays of light entering from the upper surface side of the crystal to pass therethrough; and
luminescent materials disposed on the indexes for responding to the UV rays irradiated by the UV ray emitting element and reflected by the dichroic mirror, thereby passively becoming colored-luminous.
