Abstract
Provided is a vehicular display device that offers good visibility without causing a passenger to feel uncomfortable. In a bezel that includes a cover portion arranged above a display unit of a vehicular display device and a frame portion enclosing the cover portion, a front-side end portion of the cover portion is arranged at a position lower than a rear-side end portion. As a result, external light is reflected forward. Moreover, a front frame includes a reflecting plate, a semi-transparent output plate covering over the reflecting plate, and a light-collecting portion collecting external light that enters from a front into a space enclosed by the reflecting plate and the output plate. As a result, the front frame is prevented from being darkly reflected onto a front glass.

- a bezel that includes a cover portion covering over the display device and a frame portion arranged on at least a vehicle front side of the cover portion, and is arranged on the counter surface, wherein
- the cover portion has a vehicle front-side end portion arranged at a position lower than a rear-side end portion,
- in the frame portion, a front frame arranged on the vehicle front side of the cover portion includes a reflecting plate formed to have a high reflectivity on an upper surface and tilting downward toward a vehicle rear, an output plate covering an upper side of the reflecting plate, and a light-collecting portion collecting external light such that the external light enters from a front into between the reflecting plate and the output plate, and
