Abstract

A vehicular display device includes an image display device disposed on a position ahead of a driver in a vehicle and displays images, a frame member disposed on a driver side of the image display device and surrounds a part of an image display region on the image display device, and a drive device that moves the frame member relative to the image display device along the image display region. The image display device displays a predetermined image that converges from the frame member toward a convergence point set in advance in the image display region, and, when the drive device moves the frame member, the image display device performs animation display of deforming the predetermined image so as to follow the movement of the frame member while keeping the convergence point fixed.

Claims (16)

1. A vehicular display device comprising:

an image display device disposed on a position ahead of a driver in a vehicle and configured to display images;

a frame member disposed on a driver side of the image display device and surrounding a part of an image display region on the image display device; and

a motor configured to move the frame member relative to the image display device along the image display region, wherein

the image display device is configured to display a predetermined image that converges, in an initial state, from the frame member toward a convergence point set in advance in the image display region,

the image display device is configured to perform, when the motor moves the frame member, animation display of deforming the predetermined image so as to follow the movement of the frame member while keeping the convergence point fixed, and

the predetermined image continues to converge toward the convergence point while the predetermined image follows the movement of the frame.

2. The vehicular display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame member has a ring shape, and

the predetermined image is an image representing an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder extending from the frame member toward a deeper side in a depth direction of a screen.

3. The vehicular display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a moving range of the frame member is set such that the convergence point is located in a region surrounded by the frame member, and

the image display device is configured to display the predetermined image in the region surrounded by the frame member.

4. The vehicular display device according to claim 2 , wherein

a moving range of the frame member is set such that the convergence point is located in a region surrounded by the frame member, and

the image display device is configured to display the predetermined image in the region surrounded by the frame member.
