At this time, the inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction expressed by the image having a depth is set to be substantially equal to the inclination angle of the front portion 42. That is, the image is displayed so as to have the same depth as when the display surface is arranged along the extended surface of the inclined front portion 42 (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2) to display a planar image. .

  In addition, when the planar image or the image with depth is translated in the vehicle width direction on the display surface 31 </ b> A and the ring member 4 is translated in accordance with the translation, the meter ECU controls the slide unit 52. At this time, the timing at which the ring member 4 is moved may be matched with the timing of image movement or may be slightly shifted. Moreover, the ring member 4 should just be located in the standing position or the inclined position as described above according to the displayed image and translated.

  Hereinafter, a specific example of an image displayed by the vehicle display device 1 </ b> A by the above method and a combination of the image and the ring member 4 will be described.

Illumination indicates that the amount of charge of the battery due to regenerative energy increases. At this time, the ring member 4 is positioned at an inclined position, a charge / discharge display portion A44 is displayed around the ring member 4, and a plurality of grooves 41 formed along the outer periphery of the ring member 4 are formed on the charge / discharge display portion A44. It becomes a scale.

  According to such 1st Embodiment, there exist the following effects. That is, when the ring member 4 is positioned at the inclined position, the front portion 42 has an inclination toward the upper side toward the vehicle front side, and an image having a depth is displayed on the display surface 31A. This image is visually recognized in combination with the front portion 42. Therefore, by expressing the depth not only by the image but also by the inclined front part 42, the three-dimensional effect can be improved by combining the front part 42 and the deep image. Further, there is no need to change the orientation of the display surface 31A in order to improve the stereoscopic effect, and the configuration can be simplified.

  Further, the ring member 4 is configured so that the tilt angle can be changed between the standing position and the tilted position by the tilt unit 51, and when displaying an image having a depth, the ring member 4 is positioned at the tilted position to obtain a planar image. When displaying the ring member 4 in the standing position, the image and the ring member 4 can be effectively combined to provide a sharp display, and the stereoscopic effect can be further improved.

  In addition, since the inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction expressed by the image having a depth and the inclination angle of the front portion 42 of the ring member 4 positioned at the inclination position are substantially equal, the front portion 42 and the image having the depth are Can be visually recognized continuously, and the stereoscopic effect can be further improved.

  Further, the display 3A has a display surface 31A directed toward the rear side of the vehicle, and the real image displayed on the display surface 31A is visually recognized by the passenger, so that the image and the ring member 4 are combined more effectively. Can be visually recognized.

  Further, since the ring member 4 is configured to be movable in the width direction by the slide unit 52, the variation of expression is further increased by moving the ring member 4 to an appropriate position in accordance with the displayed image. be able to.

  Further, by encircling a part of the image with the annular ring member 4, it is possible to emphasize the encircled part and further improve the design.

Second Embodiment
As shown in FIG. 8, the vehicle display device 1 </ b> B of the second embodiment reflects the case 2, the display 3 </ b> B, the ring member 4, the operation mechanism 5, and the image reflected by the display 3 </ b> B. The half mirror 6 as a member and the irradiation means 7 which illuminates the ring member 4 in the vehicle front side rather than the half mirror 6 are provided.

  The indicator 3B is accommodated in the hood part 22 formed in the upper part of the case 2, and is arranged with the display surface 31B facing downward.

  The half mirror 6 is formed in a plate shape having the upper surface 6A as a reflection surface, and is provided in the opening O of the case 2 instead of the cover portion 21 in the first embodiment. In other words, the half mirror 6 is provided below the indicator 3B and on the vehicle rear side of the ring member 4, and has an inclination toward the upper side toward the vehicle front side. The image displayed on the display surface 31B, which is the lower surface of the display 3B, is reflected toward the vehicle rear side by the half mirror 6, so that the occupant can see the virtual image plane Im on the vehicle front side of the half mirror 6. The image appears to be displayed. The virtual image plane Im is always located on the vehicle front side with respect to the ring member 4 and the front portion 42 thereof. The position of the virtual image plane Im is the image position on the line of sight. In the present embodiment, the virtual image plane Im extends along the vertical direction, but may have a slight inclination with respect to the vertical direction as with the display surface 31 of the first embodiment.

  The irradiation means 7 includes, for example, an LED element, is provided above the ring member 4, and is configured to irradiate light toward the ring member 4 from the vehicle rear side. In addition, although the irradiation means 7 shall be fixed to one place in this embodiment, it may be comprised so that the angle which irradiates light according to the inclination angle of the ring member 4 can be changed, and several places It may be installed in. By irradiating means 7 being fixed in one place, when the inclination angle of ring member 4 is changed, the portion where light is easily irradiated changes, and a three-dimensional effect can be produced by adding light and darkness within ring member 4. it can.

  Hereinafter, a method in which the meter ECU controls the display 3B, the operation mechanism 5, and the irradiation unit 7 to display an image or to make the passenger visually recognize the image and the ring member 4 in combination will be described. The background of each image and the portion overlapping with the ring member 4 are set to black.

  When displaying only the image to the passenger, the meter ECU displays the image on the display 3B and turns off the irradiation means 7. At this time, the ring member 4 is in a dark state where the light irradiated by the irradiation means 7 is not reflected, the light emitted by the ring member 4 is very weak, and this light is not recognized by the passenger.

  When the image and the ring member 4 are displayed in combination, the meter ECU displays the image on the display 3B and turns on the irradiation means 7. At this time, the ring member 4 is in a bright state in which light is emitted by reflecting light irradiated by the irradiation means 7, and this reflected light passes through the half mirror 6 and travels toward the vehicle rear side. Therefore, the occupant visually recognizes the ring member 4 and the image, and it seems that these are combined. At this time, since the portion of the image that overlaps the ring member 4 is set to black, the ring member 4 does not appear to overlap the image for the passenger, and the ring is placed on the front side of the display as in the past. It appears that it is displayed in the same way as the structure in which the member is provided. It should be noted that the ring member 4 and the image may be displayed so as to overlap each other by performing appropriate display in a portion of the image that overlaps the ring member 4. As described above, the irradiating unit 7 is turned on to make the ring member 4 in a bright state that can be visually recognized, and functions as a light emitting unit.

  Further, according to the image combined with the ring member 4, the meter ECU controls the operation mechanism 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment to move the ring member 4 in parallel or change the inclination angle.

  Hereinafter, a specific example of an image displayed by the vehicle display device 1 </ b> B by the above method and a combination of the image and the ring member 4 will be described.

  When the passenger selects the normal mode, the cruise mode, or the eco mode, the vehicle display device 1B displays an image similar to the first to fourth images A1 to A4 in the first embodiment, and a ring member. 4 is operated.

  The vehicle display device 1 </ b> B displays the fifth image A <b> 5 shown in FIG. 9 when the passenger selects the sports mode. The fifth image A5 includes a speed display portion A51 that displays the speed of the vehicle, a rotation speed display portion A52 that displays the rotation speed of the engine, a remaining fuel display portion A53 that displays the remaining amount of fuel, and the remaining capacity of the battery. Is displayed, a cooling water temperature display A55 that displays the temperature of the cooling water, and a battery temperature display A56 that indicates the temperature of the battery. At this time, the ring member 4 is in a dark state, and is not visually recognized by the passenger and does not hide the fifth image A5.

  According to such 2nd Embodiment, there can exist an effect similar to the said 1st Embodiment. Further, since the meter ECU switches between turning on and off the irradiation means 7 to switch between the bright state and the dark state of the ring member 4, the image and the ring member 4 are combined by setting the ring member 4 to the bright state. While being able to display, only an image can be displayed by making the ring member 4 into a dark state. By making the ring member 4 dark, the entire reflection surface of the half mirror 6 can be used as a display area, and a large image can be displayed. Furthermore, the display variation can be increased by displaying only the image.
