FIG. 2 shows a position where the display device 2 is installed on the meter panel, and FIG.

FIG. 1 further shows various types of vehicle electronic equipment including an external ranging radar (for example, a rear radar 41), an in-vehicle mobile phone 42, and an electronic receipt system 43, all of which are provided to the processing device 3. It is articulated.

4, 5, and 6, the rear radar 41 is used as an example, and a set of LCD multi-segment display modules 20 is used. According to the present embodiment, the LCD multi-segment display module 20 is composed of four multi-segment displays, can display four digits, can be directly applied to the mounting position and space of the original electronic clock of the meter panel, and can be applied to the rear radar 41. No additional space is required to display information. The four multi-segment displays can display numbers by two 7-segment displays 202 and 204, and can display the left and right directions and numbers by one 9-segment displays 201 and 205 on the left and right, respectively, and have one intermediate partition. It comprises a signal 203 ":".

FIG. 4 shows a state used for time display under general circumstances, in which four displays 201, 202, 204, and 205 each have a two-digit hour number on the left side and two hour numbers on the right side. The number of minutes is displayed, and the middle partition symbol 203 is flashed.

Please refer to FIGS. When the driver shifts back and the rear radar 41 detects an obstacle behind, the processing device 3 receives the signal of the rear radar 41, cuts off the display of the clock circuit 1, and outputs the signal of the rear radar 41. And decodes and / or converts the data, and displays the direction and distance of the obstacle on the display device 2. In FIG. 5, the 9-segment display 201 displays an arrow pointing to the left, and the two displays 204 and 205 show that there is an obstacle at 50 cm, and FIG. 6 shows that an obstacle is at 32 cm on the right. are doing. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the clock circuit 1 is cut off temporarily, so that the middle partition symbol 203 does not flash.

FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 show a multi-segment display module 21 composed of four 14-segment displays 211, 212, 214, 215 and an intermediate divider 213, all other being the same as the previous example. .
