In the vehicle display device of the present invention, the protrusion height of the display unit 310 that protrudes to the outside through the opening 110 of the cockpit unit 110 is adjusted in multiple stages according to a plurality of display modes.

In this embodiment, the display mode is exemplified by three modes: reduced mode, standard mode, and extended mode. Figure 4 shows the arrangement of the display unit 310 in reduced mode, standard mode, and extended mode, respectively. In the vehicle display device, the protrusion height of the display unit 310 is adjusted in three stages.

The reduced mode is a state in which the protruding height of the display unit 310 is the lowest, and the top of the display unit 310 is placed at the lowest level in FIG. 4 . The extended mode is a state in which the display unit 310 has the highest protrusion height, and in FIG. 4, the top of the display unit 310 is placed at the highest level. In the standard mode, the protrusion height of the display unit 310 is higher than in the reduced mode and lower than in the extended mode.

That is, the first display unit 320 is formed to be narrower than the vertical width of the second display unit 330. Therefore, in the reduced mode, only the first display unit 320 protrudes into the opening 110 to output the screen, thereby minimizing the extent to which the display unit 300 blocks the occupant's front view.

In addition, since the vertical width of the second display unit 330 is the largest, various information and content can be smoothly provided through a sufficient screen size in standard mode, and in extended mode, large screens can be displayed when using infotainment functions including cinema mode. A screen can be provided.

In the extended mode, the angle of the second display unit 330 with the road surface may be 85 to 100°. In this embodiment, in the extended mode, the second display unit 330 is arranged to form approximately 90° with the road surface. Accordingly, in the extended mode, the front of the second display unit 330, which provides the largest screen area, is perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the passenger's gaze direction, thereby improving viewing convenience.

Since the first display unit 320 is moved to the cockpit unit 100 in a swivel moving manner and appears through the opening 110, the height (H1) at which the first display unit 320 protrudes outward through the opening 110 ) is smaller than the first vertical width (L1), which is the vertical width of the first display unit 320 (H1 < L1).

Therefore, since the display unit 300 moves in a swivel moving method compared to the conventional pop-up method that appears in a direction perpendicular to the road surface, the first display unit 320 forms a movement path when moving in the internal space of the cockpit unit 100. Space can be reduced.

The display gear unit 370 of the display unit 300 is engaged with the guide gear unit 220 of the guide unit 200. The display gear unit 370 is rotated by the operation of the driving unit 400 and moves along the meshed curved guide gear unit 220, so that the display unit 310 appears and retracts from the opening 110.

Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12 , the height at which the first display unit 320 and the second display unit 330 of the plurality of display units 310 protrude outward through the opening 110 is H2. The first display unit 320 and the second display unit 330 are moved to the cockpit unit 100 in a swivel moving manner and appear through the opening 110, so the first display unit 320 and the second display unit ( The height H2 at which 330 protrudes to the outside through the opening 110 is equal to the difference between the first upper and lower width L1 of the first display unit 320 and the second upper and lower width L of the second display unit 330. It becomes smaller than the sum (L1+L2) (H2 < L1 + L2).

Therefore, since the display unit 300 moves in a swivel moving method compared to the conventional pop-up method that appears in a direction perpendicular to the road surface, the first display unit 320 and the second display unit 330 move in the internal space of the cockpit unit 100. When moving, the space forming the movement path can be reduced.

Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17 , among the plurality of display units 310, the first display unit 320, the second display unit 330, and the third display unit 340 protrude to the outside through the opening 110. The height is H3. The first display unit 320, the second display unit 330, and the third display unit 340 are moved to the cockpit unit 100 in a swivel moving manner and appear through the opening 110, so that the first display unit ( The height H3 at which the second display unit 320, the second display unit 330, and the third display unit 340 protrude to the outside through the opening 110 is equal to the first upper and lower width L1 of the first display unit 320. It becomes smaller than the sum (L1 + L2 + L3) of the second upper and lower width (L2) of the second display unit 330 and the third upper and lower width (L3) of the third display unit 340 (H3 < L1 + L2 + L3).

Therefore, since the display unit 300 moves in a swivel moving method compared to the conventional pop-up method that appears in a direction perpendicular to the road surface, the first display unit 320, the second display unit 330, and the third display unit 340 When moving in the internal space of the cockpit unit 100, the space forming the movement path can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 17, the angle formed by the front of the planar second display unit 330 and the front of the planar third display unit 340 is β1, and the angle formed between the front of the planar first display unit 320 and the front of the planar third display unit 340 is β1. The angle formed by the front surface of the second display unit 330 is β2. In this embodiment, angle β1 may be 140 to 150°, and angle β2 may be 145 to 155°.

Angle β2 may be formed larger than angle β1. The third display unit 340 is placed lowest among the plurality of display units 310, and the occupant's eyes are located above the third display unit 340, so in the extended mode, the third display unit ( The bending angle (β2) of the third display unit 340 is formed to be larger than the bending angle (β1) of the first display unit 320 so that the occupants can fully view the screen of the third display unit 340.

In addition, the first display unit 320 is placed the highest among the plurality of display units 310, and in the extended mode, the passenger's eyes are positioned almost parallel to the first display unit 320, so the first display unit 320 The bending angle (β1) of the unit 320 can be made smaller than the bending angle (β2) of the third display unit 340 to prevent screen blind spots even in extended mode.

Each connection of the first display unit 320, the second display unit 330, and the third display unit 340 may be formed as a curved surface. As a result, the screen area consisting of the first display unit 320 and the second display unit 330 in the standard mode, and the first display unit 320, the second display unit 330, and the third display unit 340 in the extended mode.
