Then, the second display 10b moves to the first position P1 or the second position P2.

  Further, the motor 21 described above is driven by a drive circuit 24 as shown in FIG. 4, and the drive of the drive circuit 24 is controlled by a movement control unit 25. The movement control unit 25 is connected to the first display control unit 10A1 that controls the display of the first display 10A using a control LSI, a DSP, or the like. In the best mode, the case where the movement control unit 25 controls the driving of the two motors 21 will be described. However, various modes such as providing the movement control unit 25 corresponding to each motor 21 can be used. .

  The first display control unit 10A1 outputs a warning display signal to the movement control unit 25 when performing a warning display that requires a wide display area, and outputs a warning display end signal in response to the end of the display. The first display controller 10A1 further outputs an information display signal to the movement controller 25 when performing information display that requires a wide display area, and outputs an information display end signal in response to the end of the display.

  The movement control unit 25 is further connected with an opening / closing switch 5 corresponding to the position selection means in the claims. The open / close switch 5 is configured to allow the observer to select an open state or a closed state. When the closed state is selected, the second display 10B is selected at the first position P1 and the open state is selected. Then, it is selected that the second display 10B is positioned at the second position P2. The open / close switch 5 outputs an open signal or a close signal to the movement control unit 25 according to the selection by the observer.

  When the second display 10B is in the closed state, the movement control unit 25 receives the warning display signal, the information display signal, or the open signal, and moves the second display 10B to the open state. Each drive circuit 24 is instructed to move so as to move, and the motor 21 is driven by each drive circuit 24.

  Next, an example of the closed state control process and the open state control process executed by the movement control unit 25 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively. Note that various data such as an opening operation flag, a warning display flag, and an information display flag are stored in a storage unit 26 such as a RAM or an EEPROM referred to by the movement control unit 25. Each of these flags is turned ON / OFF. The state is shown.

  When the closed state control process shown in FIG. 5 is activated, it is determined in step S11 whether or not an open signal is input from the open / close switch 5. If it is determined that an open signal has been input (Y in S11), the open operation flag of the storage unit 26 is set to ON in step S12, and then the process proceeds to step S17.

  If it is determined in step S11 that an open signal is not input (N in S11), it is determined in step S13 whether or not a warning display signal is input from the first display controller 10A1. If it is determined that a warning display signal has been input (Y in S13), the warning display flag in the storage unit 26 is set to ON in step S14, and then the process proceeds to step S17.

  If it is determined in step S13 that no warning display signal has been input (N in S13), it is determined in step S15 whether or not an information display signal has been input from the first display controller 10A1. . If it is determined that the information display signal has not been input (N in S15), the process returns to step S11 and a series of processes are repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined that an information display signal has been input (Y in S15), the information display flag in the storage unit 26 is set to ON, and then the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S <b> 17, in order to move each second indicator 10 </ b> B to the open state, a drive request for rotating the motor 21 until reaching the second position P <b> 2 is output to each drive circuit 24. The motor 21 rotates in a rotation direction corresponding to the moving direction until the display 10B moves to the second position P2. In step S18, the open state control process shown in FIG. 6 is started, and then the process ends.

  Next, when the open state control process shown in FIG. 6 is executed, it is determined in step S51 whether or not a close signal is input from the open / close switch 5. If it is determined that the close signal has been input (Y in S51), in step S52, the open operation flag of the storage unit 26 is set to OFF, and then the process proceeds to step S64 shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S51 that the closing signal is not input (N in S51), it is determined in step S53 whether or not a warning display signal is input from the first display controller 10A1. If it is determined that the warning display signal has not been input (N in S53), the process proceeds to step S55. On the other hand, if it is determined that a warning display signal has been input (Y in S53), the warning display flag in the storage unit 26 is set to ON in step S54, and then the process proceeds to step S55.

  In step S55, it is determined whether or not an information display signal is input from the first display controller 10A1. If it is determined that the information display signal is not input (N in S55), the process proceeds to step S57 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that an information display signal has been input (Y in S55), the information display flag in the storage unit 26 is set to ON in step S56, and then the process proceeds to step S57 shown in FIG.

  In step S57 shown in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not a warning end signal is input from the first display controller 10A1. If it is determined that the warning end signal has not been input (N in S57), the process proceeds to step S60. On the other hand, if it is determined that a warning end signal has been input (Y in S57), the alarm display flag in the storage unit 26 is set to OFF in step S58, and then the process proceeds to step S59.

  In step S59, it is determined whether or not the information display flag in the storage unit 26 is ON. If the information display flag is not ON, that is, if it is determined that the information display is not performed (N in S59), the process proceeds to step S63. On the other hand, when the information display flag is ON, that is, when it is determined that the information display is being performed (Y in S59), the process proceeds to step S60.

  In step S60, it is determined whether or not an information display end signal is input from the first display controller 10A1. If it is determined that the information display end signal has not been input (N in S60), the process returns to step S51 shown in FIG. 6, and a series of processes is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the information display end signal has been input (Y in S60), the information display flag in the storage unit 26 is set to OFF, and then the process proceeds to step S62.

  In step S62, it is determined whether or not the warning display flag in the storage unit 26 is ON. If it is determined that the warning display flag is ON, that is, it is determined that warning display is being performed (Y in S62), the process returns to step S51 shown in FIG. 6, and a series of processing is repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the warning display flag is not ON, that is, it is determined that the warning display is not performed (N in S62), the process proceeds to step S63.

  In step S63, it is determined whether or not the opening operation flag of the storage unit 26 is ON. If it is determined that the open operation flag is ON (Y in S63), the open operation flag is set to open by the observer's operation, so the process returns to step 51 shown in FIG. 6 and a series of processing is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the opening operation flag is not ON (N in S63), the process proceeds to step S64.

  In step S64, in order to move each second indicator 10B to the closed state, a drive request to rotate the motor 21 until it reaches the first position P1 is output to each drive circuit 24, whereby each second display 10B is output. The motor 21 rotates in a rotation direction corresponding to the moving direction until the display 10B moves to the first position P1. Then, in step S65, the closed state control process shown in FIG. 5 is started, and then the process ends.

  Next, an example of the operation (action) of the composite display device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described below. When the composite display device 1 is activated in response to turning on the ignition switch or the like in the vehicle, the second display 10B is closed as shown in FIG. Give priority to the display on the two-display device and make it visible to the observer. At this time, the first display 10A displays a small small amount of right turn instruction information indicating that the right turn position is close to the display area where the second display 10B does not overlap.

  After that, when approaching the right turn position according to the traveling of the vehicle, in order to give priority to the display of the first indicator 10A, each second indicator 10B is moved to the second position P2 as shown in FIG. Open state. And since the 1st indicator 10A displays the said right turn instruction information large, the observer can recognize that a right turn is near at a glance.

  Further, when an emergency abnormality occurs in the vehicle when each second indicator 10B is closed, each second indicator 10B is moved to the second position P2 and opened as described above, and the first indicator 10A. Since the warning information is displayed in a large size, the observer can quickly recognize that an emergency abnormality has occurred.

  Further, when the second display 10B is in the open state and the observer selects “close” of the open / close switch 5, the second display 10B is in the first display regardless of the display priority in the composite display device 1. It is moved to the position P1 and is closed. Further, when the observer selects “open” of the open / close switch 5, each second display 10B is forcibly opened.

  As described above, according to the composite display device 1 of the present invention, the second display 10B is configured to be movable from the first position P1 to the second position P2, and the first display When displaying 10A preferentially, the second display 10B is moved to the second position P2 so as not to overlap the first display 10A, and when displaying the second display 10B preferentially, Since it moved to the 1st position P1 which overlaps with the 1st indicator 10A, the 2nd indicator 10B can be arranged so that it may overlap with the 1st indicator 10A.

  Therefore, even if it arrange | positions so that the 2nd display 10B may overlap with 10 A of 1st displays, visibility is not reduced, Therefore A some display can be arrange | positioned efficiently. Moreover, since the 2nd indicator 10B moves according to the priority to display, it can provide the novel display form which is not in the past.

  In addition, since the second display 10B is moved to the position selected by the observer, the display that the observer wants to visually recognize can be preferentially visually recognized. Can be improved.

  Further, the first display 10A is configured to display a display preparation, an image, and the like, and the second display 10B is configured to visually recognize the measurement amount by cooperating the pointer 12 and the index. Even when a large image display is arranged as the first display 10A, when the first display 10A is displayed preferentially, the second display 10B is moved to the second position P2 where it does not overlap. The first display can be used effectively, and the display is combined with the first display 10A for displaying an image and the like and the pointer-type second display 10B by changing the position of the second display 10B. Thus, the visibility can be improved.

  Next, in the composite display device 1 having the above-described configuration, even when the second display 10B overlaps the first display 10A (closed state), a large amount of information is displayed on the first display 10A. The best mode will be described below with reference to the drawing of FIG. Since the basic structure is the same as that of the composite display device 1 described above, only different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the composite display device 1 includes a first display 10A, a pair of second displays 10B, and a pair of third displays 10C. And about the 3rd indicator 10C, in order to display more information, the liquid crystal display etc. larger than what was mentioned above are used. Therefore, the second position P2 at which each second display 10B is in an open state is a position that is visually recognized by an observer with a part of the third display 10C.

  The dial 11 of each second display 10B is formed with a visual recognition part 11a for visually recognizing the display content of the first display 10A when the second display 10B is at the first position P1. The visual recognition part 11 a is formed as a substantially semicircular opening so as to follow an index such as a scale attached to the dial 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the state where each second display 10B is moved to the first position P1, the first display 10A displays each display area corresponding to the visual recognition part 11a of the dial 11. The wind direction information indicating the wind direction of the air conditioner corresponding to the vehicle seat is displayed. Further, below the display area, the travel distance (ODO / TRIP) of the vehicle is further displayed.

  Then, the first indicator 10A enlarges the wind direction information when the second indicator 10B is moved to the second position P2 as shown in FIG. To display near the bottom center of the display area. In this way, by changing the display position of various information corresponding to the position of the second display 10, display visibility is improved and a large display area is effectively used.

  Further, on the dial 11 of each second display 10B, when the second display 10B is at the second position P2, that is, when it overlaps with the third display 10C, the display content of the third display 10C is displayed. A second visual recognition part 11b that is visually recognized by the observer is formed. The second visual recognition part 11b is also formed as a substantially semicircular opening, like the visual recognition part 11a described above. And as shown in FIG.8 (b), in the state to which each 2nd indicator 10B was moved to the 2nd position P2, each 3rd indicator 10C respond | corresponds to the 2nd visual recognition part 11b of the dial 11. Brake information and high beam information are displayed in each display area.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, in a state where each second display 10B is moved to the first position P1, each third display 10C has a display area according to the number of information to be displayed, etc. For example, break information and high beam information are displayed near the center thereof. As described above, the display visibility of the third display 10C is also improved by changing the display position of various information corresponding to the position of the second display 10.

  Moreover, since the visual recognition part 11a and the 2nd visual recognition part 11b of the dial plate 11 of the 2nd indicator 10B are openings, the drive part of the pointer | guide 12 does not protrude from those openings. Located on the back side. In addition, although the visual recognition part 11a and the 2nd visual recognition part 11b are opening in this best form, the dial 11 is formed with a translucent member, and other than the visual recognition part 11a and the second visual recognition part 11b is a non-translucent member. It can be in various forms such as covering with or printing.

  As described above, when the second display 10B is at the first position P1 overlapping the first display 10A, the visual indicator 11a that allows the observer to visually recognize the display content of the first display 10A is displayed on the second display. Since it is formed on the dial plate 11 of 10B, the display content of the first display 10A can be recognized by the observer, so that the first display 10A can be used effectively. In particular, when the first display 10A is large, a portion where the second display 10B overlaps becomes large. However, the first display 10A can be effectively and constantly formed by forming the viewing portion 11a on the second display 10B. Can be displayed.

  Furthermore, when the second display 10B is at the second position P overlapping the third display 10C, the second display unit 11b for allowing the observer to visually recognize the display content of the third display 10C is provided on the second display 10B. Since it is formed, even if the second position P2 is set so that the second display 10B overlaps the third display 10C, the display content of the third display 10C can be recognized by the observer. Therefore, the larger first display 10A can be used.

  In the above-described best mode, the case where both the visual recognition part 11a and the second visual recognition part 11b are formed on the dial 11 of the second display 10B has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Depending on the number of displays to be aggregated, the size of the composite display device 1, etc., at least one of the visual recognition part 11a or the second visual recognition part 11b may be formed.

  Further, a case where a new pointer-type fourth display is incorporated in the composite display device 1 shown in FIG. 8 will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, by arranging two fourth displays 10D on the dial 11 of each second display 10B, even if the number of displays to be aggregated increases, the first display 10A Visibility is not deteriorated, and a chronograph-like configuration can be adopted, and a more innovative display form than before can be provided.

  In the above-described best mode, an image display is used for the first display 10A and the third display 10C, and a pointer-type display is used for the second display 10B. With regard to the above, various configurations are changed according to the product configuration, specifications, and the like of the composite display device 1.

  In the best mode described above, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, when the observer performs a closing operation of the open / close switch 5 during warning and information display in the open state of the composite display device 1 (S51). Y), the case where the opening operation flag is turned OFF and the second display 10B is moved to the first position P1 has been described.

  However, if the second display 10B is moved to the first position P1 in accordance with the observer's closing operation in this way, the display content of the first display 10A is covered by the second display 10B. The part may be difficult to see. Therefore, when the second display 10B is moved to the first position P1 by the observer's closing operation, the first display control unit 10A1 (see FIG. 4) that controls the display of the first display 10A is closed. It is possible to prevent the display content of the first display 10A from being covered and becoming difficult to see by adding a process for instructing to switch to the display content at the time as a step subsequent to step S52 in FIG. .

FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are front views showing examples of a closed state and an open state of the composite display device of the present invention, respectively. It is a figure for demonstrating the moving mechanism of the 2nd indicator of FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating the assembly example of the moving mechanism of FIG. It is a block diagram of the system which controls the movement of a 2nd indicator. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the control process at the time of a closed state which the movement control part of FIG. 4 performs. It is a flowchart which shows a part of control process at the time of an open state which the movement control part of FIG. 4 performs.
