| Research Abstract |
In an effort to explore the ways of providing the hearing-impaired persons with easily-understandable information from the electric information board display, we have conducted an experiment with hearing-impaired students and with hearing students to measure the movement of their eyes while reading the sentences in scrolling display. As the result, the hearing-impaired persons were found more likely to read the information while moving their eyes in the scrolling direction of the sentence than the hearing persons, of which difference was particularly evident when the board was displaying a row of nouns (geographical names).
