A vehicle instrument 1 for displaying vehicle speed, engine speed, and other information is arranged so that the driver can easily see it, and the exponential axis of the vehicle instrument 1 faces the eye point 2. A transparent cover glass 3 for protecting the vehicle instrument 1 is attached to the outside of the vehicle instrument 1. The cover glass 3 is reflected by the cover glass 3 in a cylindrical shape so that the external light 4 that is about to enter is reflected on the surface of the cover glass 3 and the reflected light does not enter the eyepoint 2 of the driver. The external reflected light is directed to the eaves portion 5a of the instrument hood 5, and only the transmitted light of the cover glass passes from the vehicle instrument so that the vehicle instrument 1 can be easily seen by the driver.

The hologram cover glass 11 has a planar shape unlike the conventional cylindrical cover glass 3, and therefore, the distance (A) from the lower edge of the conventional cylindrical cover glass 3 to the lower side of the scale plate 7 is: The hologram cover glass 11 of the present invention has a distance (A ′) from the scale plate 7 that is sufficiently short as A> A ′, and the reflection of the external light 4 having the same incident angle corresponds to the hologram cover glass 11 and the conventional cylindrical shape. Since the light is reflected in the same direction as that of the cover glass 3, the projecting length of the instrument hood 5 can be shortened. Therefore, the space in front of the driver's seat can be widened, and the instrument panel can be downsized.
