- the above-described display device 10 includes a first display unit 11 and a second display unit 12.
- the first display unit 11 displays a plurality of drive modes arranged in the horizontal direction of the display screen 31, which corresponds to the operation direction of the drive operation switch 2.
- the second display unit 12 displays a plurality of driving modes arranged in the vertical direction of the display screen 31, which corresponds to the operation direction of the travel operation switch 3. This allows the occupant to recognize the plurality of modes provided for each aspect (i.e., options for each aspect). This improves the usability of the display device 10.
- each switch 2 and 3 is linked to the display direction of the display units 11 and 12 that display information related to the mode set by the switches 2 and 3. Therefore, the switch related to the mode to be set can be intuitively operated. In other words, when a certain mode (e.g., a drive mode) is to be set, it is possible to prevent the occupant from erroneously operating a switch (drive operation switch 3) for setting another mode (e.g., a driving mode). This also improves the usability of the display device 10.
- a certain mode e.g., a drive mode
- the selected drive mode is highlighted on the first display section 11, and the selected driving mode is highlighted on the second display section 12. This allows the occupant to grasp the selected drive mode and the selected driving mode at a glance. This improves the usability of the display device 10.
- the drive operation switch 2 is a rotary switch that can be rotated left and right.
- the selected drive mode is switched leftward as the drive operation switch 2 is operated leftward, and the selected drive mode is switched rightward as the drive operation switch 2 is operated rightward.
- the selected drive mode is switched in the direction corresponding to (linked with) the operation of the drive operation switch 2. This makes it easy to select the intended drive mode from among multiple drive modes as the selected drive mode without having to check the wording displayed on the drive operation switch 2.
- the driving operation switch 3 is a push switch that can be operated by pressing downward.
- the selected driving mode is switched and displayed upward or downward as the driving operation switch 3 is operated downward. In this way, the selected driving mode is switched and displayed in response to (linked with) the operation of the driving operation switch 3. This makes it easy to select the intended driving mode from among multiple driving modes as the selected driving mode.
- the display device 10 described above further includes a third display unit 13 that displays an image of the selected driving mode. This allows the occupant to visually grasp the characteristics of the selected driving mode, in addition to the text information displayed on the second display unit 12. This makes it possible to encourage the occupant to select a more optimal driving mode.
- the second display screen 31B is displayed simultaneously with the first display section 11, the second display section 12, and the third display section 13. This allows the occupant to understand the characteristics of the selected driving mode, and also allows the occupant to understand the relationship between the drive mode and the driving mode.
- the above-described display device 10 is merely an example, and is not limited to the above. Furthermore, the configuration of the vehicle 1 to which the above-described display device 10 is applied is also merely an example, and is not limited to the above.
- first operation switch may be any switch that is operated at least in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and does not have to be the drive operation switch 2 for setting the drive mode, and does not have to be a rotary switch.
- second operation switch described in the claims may be any switch that is operated at least in a direction perpendicular to the operation direction of the first operation switch, and does not have to be the drive operation switch 3 for setting the drive mode, and does not have to be a push switch.
- the "first aspect” described in the claims does not have to be a drive aspect
- the "second aspect” described in the claims does not have to be a running aspect
- the first aspect may be a running aspect
- the second aspect may be a drive aspect
- each aspect is not limited to a drive aspect and a running aspect, and may be another aspect.
- the first aspect may be an aspect related to audio
- the second aspect may be an aspect related to in-vehicle air conditioning.
- the vehicle to which the display device 10 is applied does not have to be a vehicle 1 equipped with a transfer device 5 that changes the drive state of the front wheels FW and the rear wheels RW.
- the same effect as above can be obtained by displaying multiple driving modes side by side in the vertical direction (up and down direction) corresponding to the orthogonal direction.
- the selected driving mode is switched and displayed upward as the operating lever is tilted forward, and the selected driving mode is switched and displayed downward as the operating lever is tilted backward.
- the selected driving mode is switched and displayed in the direction corresponding to (linked with) the operation of the driving operation switch 3, making it easier to select the intended driving mode from among the multiple driving modes as the selected driving mode.
- the locations of the drive operation switch 2 and the driving operation switch 3 are not limited to the above positions, but may be any positions that allow the occupant (mainly the driver) to operate them.
- at least one of the drive operation switch 2 and the driving operation switch 3 may be provided on the instrument panel.
- the selected drive mode does not have to be highlighted in the first display section 11.
- the selected driving mode does not have to be highlighted in the second display section 12.
- the second display section 12 may display multiple driving modes side-by-side so that the selected driving mode is always at the front (top).
- the third display unit 13 and the fourth display unit 14 may be omitted.
- the display device 10 does not have to have two display formats, the first display format 10A and the second display format 10B, as the display format of the information displayed on the output device 3. However, it is preferable that the display device 10 has a format in which the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12 are displayed simultaneously.

態様6.上記の態様5において、前記画面として、前記第二操作スイッチが操作された場合に前記第一表示部と前記第二表示部と前記第三表示部とを同時に表示する第二表示画面を具備することが好ましい。
はじめに、図1~図3を参照して、本実施形態の表示装置10が適用される車両1の構成の一例を説明する。その後、本実施形態の表示装置10について詳述する。
図1は、実施例としての車両1が備える駆動系の装置(パワートレイン)を示す模式図である。車両1は、前輪FW及び後輪RWの駆動状態を変更可能である。車両1には、駆動源4、及び、駆動源4と前後車輪FW,RWとの動力伝達経路上に介装されたトランスファ装置5が設けられる。
表示装置10は、車両1に搭載されて、並列的に設定可能な二種類の態様に係る情報を表示する装置である。二種類の態様のうち一方の態様(第一態様)には、複数の第一モードが設けられており、車載の第一操作スイッチが操作されることで、複数の第一モードのうちの一つが選択中の第一モードとして択一的に選択される。また、二種類の態様のうち他方の態様(第二態様)には、複数の第二モードが設けられており、車載の第二操作スイッチが操作されることで、複数の第二モードのうちの一つが選択中の第二モードとして択一的に選択される。表示装置10は、これら複数の第一モード及び第二モードを並べて表示することで、選択中のモードだけでなく、選択可能なモード(非選択中のモード)をも乗員に認識させることができる装置である。
表示装置10には、図5に示すように、表示画面31内に、駆動態様に係る情報を表示する第一表示部11と、走行態様に係る情報を表示する第二表示部12とが設けられる。本実施形態の表示装置10には、さらに、図5及び図6に示すように、第三表示部13及び第四表示部14が設けられる。なお、図5は、後述する第二表示形式10Bで表示される第二表示画面31Bの画面構成を示す図であり、図6は、後述する第一表示形式10Aで表示される第一表示画面31Aの画面構成を示す図である。
(1)上述した表示装置10は、第一表示部11と第二表示部12とを備える。第一表示部11には、駆動操作スイッチ2の操作方向に対応する表示画面31の横方向に複数の駆動モードが並べて表示される。また、第二表示部12には、走行操作スイッチ3の操作方向に対応する表示画面31の縦方向に複数の走行モードが並べて表示される。これにより、各態様に設けられた複数のモード(すなわち、各態様の選択肢)を乗員に認識させることができる。よって、表示装置10のユーザビリティを向上することができる。
上述した表示装置10は一例であって、上述したものに限られない。また、上述した表示装置10が適用される車両1の構成も一例であって、上述したものに限らない。
