Abstract

A display device for a vehicle includes a front face cover that covers a front face of a display section for displaying information of the vehicle, and an antireflection film provided on a surface of the front face cover. The surface of the front face cover has a curved face which is formed so that an observation color of the curved face viewed from an eye range of a person sitting on a seat of the vehicle differs depending on an observation position in the eye range due to a difference in an interference wavelength of reflection light reflected by the antireflection film, the reflection light advancing toward the eye range from the front surface.

Claims (8)

1. A display device for a vehicle, comprising:

a front face cover that covers a front face of a display section for displaying information of the vehicle; and

an antireflection film provided on a surface of the front face cover,

wherein the surface of the front face cover has a curved face which is formed so that an observation color of the curved face viewed from an eye range of a person sitting on a seat of the vehicle differs depending on an observation position in the eye range due to a difference in an interference wavelength of reflection light reflected by the antireflection film, the reflection light advancing toward the eye range from the front surface.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display section has a pointer display portion which indicates a measurement value by using a pointer; and

wherein the curved face is provided on a portion in the front face cover which faces an outer edge part of the pointer display portion.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display section includes a first display unit which is arranged in a portion inside of a steering wheel of the vehicle in a radial direction of the steering wheel on a field of view from the eye range and a second display unit which is arranged in a portion outside of the steering wheel in the radial direction of the steering wheel on the field of view from the eye range; and

wherein the curved face is provided on a stepwise cover part which connects between a first cover part covering a front face of the first display unit and a second cover part covering a front face of the second display unit in the front face cover.
