The multicolor display of the present invention has a wavelength of 380 to 7 which human eyes can perceive as light in electromagnetic waves.
In order to correspond to the visibility characteristic in the range of 80 nm,
The control means controls the light emitting element. First, in human visual cells, there are cone cells that are located in the center of the retina and that respond to wavelength (color), and cone cells that are located around the retina and respond to the amount of light (dark and light). There are rod cells. Of these, cone cells are highly sensitive (feel bright) to light near 555 nm (yellowish green) as shown in the photopic curve in photopic vision in FIG. 1, and rod cells are more sensitive to light in FIG. As shown in the visibility curve in scotopic
It has a characteristic of high sensitivity to light (green) near 10 nm. And cone cells work in the daytime, whereas rod cells work in the night. As a result, what appears to be bright red in the daytime appears darker in the evening as it gets darker, and blue and green appear brighter.This phenomenon is called the Purkinje phenomenon. .

Therefore, in the multicolor display of the present invention,
The control unit that controls the brightness of each light emitting element controls the brightness of each light emitting element so that the hue of each color does not change when the brightness of the entire multicolor display is changed in consideration of this Purkinje phenomenon. Is. Specifically, as shown in the graph of the change in luminance by color shown in FIG. 3, when the standard of the luminance in the multicolor display is the brightness between the bright daytime and the dark nighttime, the bright red color has a long wavelength. Since the person feels stronger than green, which has a short wavelength, the controller sets the green LED to have higher brightness than the red LED, and conversely, at dark night, people feel green stronger than red, so the controller The brightness of the red LED is set higher than that of the green LED. That is, the brightness change gradient of the green LED is red LE.
The inclination is made larger than the luminance change gradient of D.
