When multiple charging reservation types are specified for charging plans for multiple days, a controller displays icons on the display so that at least one of shapes and colors of the icons are different for each charging reservation type. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display device, comprising: a display configured to display a charging schedule of an electricity storage device, using a plurality of icons representing charging plans for a plurality of days; and a controller configured to display the icons on the display, when a plurality of different charging reservation types are specified for the charging plans for the plurality of days, the different charging reservation types including (1) a charging reservation with start time specified by a user and (2) a charging reservation with finish time specified by the user, so that at least one of a shape and a color of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from at least one of the shape and the color of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller sets the color of an icon representing the nearest charging plan from the current time to be different from the colors of icons representing the other charging plans. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein: when the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is selected as the charging reservation type, the controller adds a predetermined expected maximum charging time to a scheduled charging start time set in advance, so as to set a tentative scheduled charging finish time; when the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user is selected as the charging reservation type, the controller subtracts the predetermined expected maximum charging time from a scheduled charging finish time set in advance, so as to set a tentative scheduled charging start time; the controller displays, on the display, an icon representing the charging reservation with start time specified by the user so that the color of the tentative scheduled charging finish time side of the icon is lighter than the color of the scheduled charging start time side of the icon; and the controller displays, on the display, an icon representing the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user so that the color of the tentative scheduled charging start time side of the icon is lighter than the color of the scheduled charging finish time side of the icon. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein: the display device is mounted on a vehicle having (i) an electric motor for generating vehicle drive power, (ii) the electricity storage device which stores electricity used to drive the electric motor, and (iii) a charger for charging the electricity storage device using electricity from an external power supply that is external of the vehicle; and the controller controls the charger according to the charging schedule. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein: the controller displays the icons on the display so that an external shape of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from the external shape of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The display device of claim 5, wherein: the controller displays the icons on the display so that the color of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from the color of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein: the controller displays the icons on the display so that the color of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from the color of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user. ### Claim 8 A display device, comprising: a display configured to display a charging schedule of an electricity storage device, using a plurality of icons representing charging plans for a plurality of days; and a controller configured to display the icons on the display, when a plurality of different charging reservation types are specified for the charging plans for the plurality of days, the different charging reservation types including (1) a charging reservation with start time specified by a user and (2) a charging reservation with finish time specified by the user, so that at least one of a shape and a color of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from at least one of the shape and the color of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user, wherein: when the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is selected as the charging reservation type, the controller sets a tentative scheduled charging finish time to the charging plan; when the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user is selected as the charging reservation type, the controller sets a tentative scheduled charging start time to the charging plan; the controller displays, on the display, an icon representing the charging reservation with start time specified by the user so that the color of the tentative scheduled charging finish time side of the icon is lighter than the color of the scheduled charging start time side of the icon; and the controller displays, on the display, an icon representing the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user so that the color of the tentative scheduled charging start time side of the icon is lighter than the color of the scheduled charging finish time side of the icon. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The display device of claim 8, wherein the controller sets the color of an icon representing the nearest charging plan from the current time to be different from the colors of icons representing the other charging plans. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The display device of claim 8, wherein: the display device is mounted on a vehicle having (i) an electric motor for generating vehicle drive power, (ii) the electricity storage device which stores electricity used to drive the electric motor, and (iii) a charger for charging the electricity storage device using electricity from an external power supply that is external of the vehicle; and the controller controls the charger according to the charging schedule. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The display device of claim 8, wherein: the controller displays the icons on the display so that an external shape of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from the external shape of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The display device of claim 11, wherein: the controller displays the icons on the display so that the color of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from the color of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The display device of claim 8, wherein: the controller displays the icons on the display so that the color of the icon for the charging reservation with start time specified by the user is different from the color of the icon for the charging reservation with finish time specified by the user.
