Claims18
A vehicle comprising:
- a display device including a main display device mounted on a center fascia located at the center of a dashboard disposed in front of a driver's seat and a front passenger's seat;
- a mode region extending from the dashboard to be spaced apart from a front surface of the main display device;
- wherein the display device is configured to display a screen divided into regions in the main display device for displaying content which is viewed over the mode region, and
- wherein the screen is divided into an upper region, a lower region, and a virtual reference region which is fixedly disposed behind the mode region between the upper and lower regions on the screen in an initial state and maintains an absolute reference position when the main display device moves upward or downward automatically or manually;
- and
- a controller configured to perform operations of:
- changing the divided regions of the screen of the main display device displayed by the display device in accordance with an upward movement or downward movement of the main display device, wherein the main display device scales up or scales down the upper region and the lower region of the screen for displaying different content on the upper region or lower region in accordance with the upward movement or downward movement of the main display device;
- moving the upper region to a position below the virtual reference region, the upper region is scaled down and the lower region is scaled up to the entire region at the same speed as the downward movement of the main display device by removing the upper region when the main display device moves downward entirely in a sliding manner;
- and
- moving the upper region back to a position above the virtual reference region, the upper region is scaled up and the lower region is scaled down at the same speed when the main display device moves upward in the sliding manner.
