A display apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of display portions each displaying a content different from one another;
- a decoration member decorating one of the plurality of display portions;
- an actuator moving the decoration member;
- a control portion controlling the actuator to move the decoration member to a position at which the decoration member decorates one display portion selected among the plurality of display portions;
- a light source;
- a display plate through which light is transmittable, wherein the display plate includes a reflection portion that becomes visually recognizable in a predetermined shape by reflecting light emitted from the light source, and the display plate is disposed closer to a user compared with the plurality of display portions in a visual recognition direction;
- and
- a light-source control potion switching a display mode between a reflection portion display mode and a reflection portion hidden mode, wherein:
- in the reflection portion display mode, the decoration member decorates the reflection portion that becomes visually recognizable in response to a turn-on of the light source;
- and
- in the reflection portion hidden mode, the decoration member decorates the one display portion that becomes visually recognizable through the display plate in response to a turn-off of the light source.
