Provided is a configuration for executing display information output control with improved visibility of a user wearable or portable display unit. A controller configured to execute display information output control on a user wearable or portable display unit is included. The controller sets a turning on (ON) period and a turning off (OFF) period and controls switching between afterimage consideration pulse display having the turning off period being set to be within an afterimage recognition period and normal pulse display having the turning off period being set to be longer than or equal to the afterimage recognition period, the turning on (ON) period being an output period of display information to the display unit, the turning off (OFF) period being a non-output period of display information to the display unit. The controller executes the switching control between the afterimage consideration pulse display and the normal pulse display depending on eye velocity of a user. The controller executes the afterimage consideration pulse display in a case where eye velocity of the user is less than a threshold and executes the normal pulse display in a case where the eye velocity is more than or equal to the threshold.
