[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automobiles have been equipped with car televisions, navigation devices, etc., so that a driver can obtain various kinds of information through a display screen while in the car. The display in these devices is attached to, for example, an instrument panel or the like around the driver's seat in order to improve the visibility for the driver. However, in the instrument panel, it is difficult to secure an installation area corresponding to the display screen on the instrument panel because various operation switches necessary for driving, an operation part of the air conditioner and the like are attached. In particular, when a display is to be mounted later on a completed automobile (retrofitting), the mounting becomes extremely difficult. Therefore, using a thin liquid crystal display etc. as a display, store it inside the instrument panel when it is not in use (the display surface faces up or down), and when using it pull it out of the instrument panel and stand upright. There are some which make the screen visible. In this case, since the mounting space can be made smaller than the size of the display surface, it is relatively easy to secure a mounting place.

[0003]

However, conventionally, when the display is pulled out from the instrument panel and made upright, the display surface is larger than the base portion accommodated in the instrument panel. Covers the other operation switches, etc. beyond the space occupied by the base, and hides them behind the display surface. Therefore, the operability of other operation switches and the like is deteriorated. Also, because the display is stored inside the instrument panel,
The size of the display surface is restricted by the size of the storable place. Further, in the instrument panel, the operation switches and the like tend to be arranged in order from the position closer to the driver depending on the frequency of use and the like. Therefore, the place where the display can be attached may be a position away from the line of sight of the driver. In this case, the driver has to largely move the viewpoint when looking at the display surface, and the angle formed between the display surface and the line of sight becomes small, resulting in poor visibility.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular display device which can improve the visibility of the screen without impairing the operability of other operating parts.
