Abstract (en)

A luminescent signboard includes a first light emitter and a second light emitter. The first light emitter is disposed on a base plate and has a configuration corresponding to a predetermined sign. The second light emitter is disposed on the base plate at a different position from the first light emitter. A sunset sensor is provided for detection of sunset. A proximity sensor is provide for detection of an object or a person which or who has come to a position within a predetermined distance from the signboard. A control unit is operable to connect a power source to the second light emitter so as to permit emission of light therefrom when the sunset sensor detects sunset. Further, the control unit is operable to connect the power source to the first light emitter so as to permit emission of light therefrom when the proximity sensor detects an object or a person during detection of sunset by the sunset sensor. <IMAGE>
