Display device
View Patent ↗A display device displays a plurality of display elements having respective densities that continuously change in a first direction (an X direction), in such an arrangement that the display elements constitute a pointer needle and the densities continuously change in a second direction (a Y direction) intersecting the first direction, thereby displaying the pointer needle on a display section. This provides a display device with improved stereoscopic vision of the pointer needle.
1. A display device comprising:
a display section configured to display various display contents including a pointer needle; and
a controller coupled to the display section, wherein
the controller is configured to display a plurality of display elements having respective densities that continuously change in a first direction, in such an arrangement that the display elements comprise the pointer needle and a density of the pointer needle continuously change in the first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, thereby displaying the pointer needle on the display section.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of display elements are display elements having bar shapes with different widths with each other, and
the controller is configured to display the display elements in such an arrangement that a display element having a smaller width is overlaid on a display element having a larger width, thereby displaying the pointer needle on the display section.
3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the controller is configured to display the plurality of display elements in such an arrangement that a bottom end of each display element in the plurality of display elements is aligned with each other.
4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the controller is configured to display the plurality of display elements in such an arrangement that a top end of each display element in the plurality of display elements is aligned with each other.
5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the controller is configured to display the plurality of display elements in such an arrangement that a center of each display element in the plurality of display elements, in a height direction of the plurality of display elements, is aligned with each other.
6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller is configured to display the pointer needle with gradation in the first direction and the second direction, thereby achieving improved stereoscopic vision of the pointer needle.
