PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control unit of an electric blind, which can reduce noises during operations while reducing component costs. SOLUTION: The electric blind makes a motor actuated on the basis of a voltage output from a control means, and makes a solar radiation shielding material ascend/descend on the basis of the actuation of the motor. The control means 2 and 4 comprise: first control means 2 and 4 for actuating the motor on the basis of a preset initial voltage at initial settings; a time measuring portion 7 for measuring an ascent/descent time when the solar radiation shielding material is lifted/lowered in a range from an upper limit to a lower one by the first control means; and second control means 2 and 4 for supplying an adjusting voltage, which becomes lower in the case of the shorter ascent/descent time, to the motor after the operation of the first control means.
