Abstract

A display device, for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, includes a first region and a second region. The first region indicates the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor. The second region indicates the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel. The first region and the second region are independently disposed in a predetermined range. Numerals for scale are marked in either one of the first region and the second region.

Claims (25)

1. A display device for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, comprising:

a first region indicating the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor; and

a second region indicating the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel, wherein

the first region and the second region are independently disposed in a predetermined range, and

numerals for scale are marked in either one of the first region and the second region,

the numerals for scale are marked in the second region, and

a width in circumference direction of the first region is wider than a width in the circumference direction of the second region,

wherein the first region includes a third region positioned close to the second region and indicating the output at which the internal combustion engine possibly starts up, and

wherein the third region has a predetermined width in a circumferential direction, and the predetermined width corresponds to a range of the output at which the internal combustion engine possibly starts up.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first region and the second region have a similar shape which is a fan shape or an arc shape.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a display region including the first region and the second region has a circular shape,

the first region and the second region are disposed in a fan shape or an arc shape, and

the second region is disposed on a side opposite to the first region with an uppermost position of the display region as a boundary.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a fourth region is provided between the second region and the third region and has a display type different from that of the second region and the third region.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

the fourth region is a blank region.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first region and the second region include scales.

7. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the uppermost position of the display region is provided between one end of the first region and the other end of the first region.

8. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the second region is disposed on a right side from the uppermost position of the display region.
