Abstract
A display device and a vehicle door include a projection surface provided on a surface on a vehicle interior side of a door body provided at a vehicle, a projector configured to project an image, and a holding unit configured to hold the projector at the door body, in such a positional relationship that the image from the projector is projected on the projection surface. Thus, the display device and the vehicle door can effectively project an image appropriately on the vehicle door body.
