寿命を長くすることができる。In particular, a liquid crystal display adopts a liquid crystal display, the life of the display portion is shorter than that of the cathode ray tube type because it is used for a long time, the cost is high, and the maintenance cost is high. .. Therefore, if it is possible to display only during operation, it is possible to save power and prolong the life of the display.

The sensor keeps sending a signal while receiving the infrared light and activates the display unit. On the other hand, when the worker separates from the display, the signal from the sensor stops and the current is stopped to stop the display.

An infrared sensor 2 for receiving infrared rays emitted from a human body is attached to the front surface of a display having a display unit 1, and this sensor 2 is connected to an amplification circuit and a brightness control circuit for controlling the brightness of a display device.

First, when the display is turned on, the infrared sensor 2 and the circuits that control the operations thereof, such as the amplification circuit 3, the brightness control circuit 4, and the display unit 10, are brought into an operable state. When the worker is working on the front surface of the display, the infrared sensor 2 feels infrared rays from the human body and generates super power to operate. The operation signal is sent to the brightness control circuit 4 as a positive signal by the amplifier circuit 3. The brightness control circuit 4 has a circuit configuration that performs a normal display operation (display display) when a positive signal is received.

Alternatively, a circuit configuration is adopted in which only a current is supplied to minimize deterioration of the display portion.
