Abstract

A display method is implemented in a vehicle comprising multiple display devices. The multiple display devices comprise a master display device and at least one slave display device. The multiple display devices establish a communication network, by which the multiple display devices communicate with each other. The master display device sends cross screen display message to the at least one slave display device, and the cross screen display message comprises target device information and display information. The target device information identifies at least one target display device, and the display information comprises a storage path that stores display contents. The at least one target display device displays the display contents asynchronously.
