BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This application is a continuation of prior application Ser. No. 09/461,932 (incorporated herein by reference), titled "DISPLAY DEVICE FOR CAMERA USING ORGANIC EL ELEMENT," filed on Dec. 15, 1999, and listing Sumito Honda, Tsuyoshi Yaji and Yuji Imai as inventors. [0002] The present invention relates to a display device for a camera using an organic electroluminescent element (herein, referred to as organic EL element) which can emit multiple color lights or polychromatic lights. [0003] Nowadays, as improvement in function and multi-function of a camera is advanced, it becomes necessary to display much information on a display section of the camera. Simultaneously therewith, there is a tendency that downsizing of a camera is promoted and thereby the size of the display section is limited so that individual display segments in the display section are made small. Under these conditions, various technical developments have been made in order to realize display obvious or easy to understand for a photographer of a camera. [0004] Herein, in Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI Publication No. 8-82841, for example, there has been disclosed a technique regarding a display device for a camera where a display is made easy to understand by changing colors of back light of a display section or display segments. That is, the technique is characterized in that a control circuit controls the contents of display of a display device comprising a liquid crystal display panel and controls respective colors which are generated by back light means comprising red, blue and green LEDs according to output signals from a back light driver to change the back light color of the display device for display, so that various displays can easily be distinguished or identified from one another. [0005] In the above conventional art, however, there occur the following problems. [0006] Namely, there is a problem that a display on the display section becomes difficult to understand for a photographer when a photograph is taken in a room illuminated with the same color as the color of the display section. Furthermore, there also occurs a problem that, since colors on the display section regarding the display corresponding to respective operation modes of the camera are preliminarily determined, an image of a photographer to each operation mode does not correspond to the actual color on the display section in each operation mode, so that the photographer feels incompatibility. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device for a camera which allows display easy to understand or obvious for a photographer without giving an incompatible feeling to the photographer. [0008] In order to achieve the above object, a display device for a camera according to a first aspect of the invention comprises: [0009] an organic electroluminescent element for emitting multiple color lights; [0010] driving condition setting means for changing driving conditions for driving the organic electro-luminescent element; and [0011] driving control means for driving the organic electroluminescent element on the basis of the driving conditions set by the driving condition setting means. [0012] A display device for a camera according to a second aspect of the invention comprises: [0013] an organic electroluminescent element for emitting multiple color lights; [0014] driving condition setting means for changing driving conditions for driving the organic electro-luminescent element; [0015] storing means for storing the driving conditions set by the driving condition setting means; and [0016] driving control means for driving the organic electroluminescent element on the basis of the driving conditions stored in the storing means. [0017] A camera according to a third aspect of the invention comprises: [0018] an organic electroluminescent element for emitting multiple color lights; [0019] driving condition setting means for changing driving conditions for driving the organic electro-luminescent element; and [0020] a display device for displaying that setting the driving conditions by the driving condition setting means is enabled or allowable. [0021] Also, a display device for a camera according to a fourth aspect of the invention comprises: [0022] an organic electroluminescent element for emitting multiple color lights; Continue reading about Display device for camera...
