Since a drive means for moving the strip to change the area is provided, when illuminating the products displayed in the product display section at night, etc., the drive means is operated to move the strip. By associating a low-brightness area with the screen part corresponding to the rear of the product display section, even if the light source for display product illumination illuminates the screen part, this part does not shine brightly, so that the display product can be seen in a strong contrast. In addition to making the product stand out in the daytime, conversely, by making the product display area correspond to a region with high brightness, it is possible to brighten the product display room under daylight without impairing the display effect. Furthermore, the present invention has the advantage that in addition to varying the brightness of the regions of the strip, it is also possible to change the pattern, advertisement display, etc. in many ways, thereby improving the advertising effect. For these reasons, the present invention can enhance the display effect and contribute to increasing the consumer's desire to purchase.
