A display apparatus configured to display a display portion that includes at least a liquid crystal display portion that displays information on a display portion, the display apparatus comprising:
- a liquid crystal display unit having a plurality of display modes, and configured to display the liquid crystal display portion;
- 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 a light source, and the display plate is disposed closer to a user compared with the display portion in a visual recognition direction;
- and
- a light-source control portion configured to switch a display mode of the display plate between a reflection portion display mode and a reflection portion hidden mode according to the selected display mode of the liquid crystal display unit, wherein, in the reflection portion display mode, the reflection portion becomes visually recognizable in response to a turn-on of the light source, and in the reflection portion hidden mode, the display portion becomes visually recognizable through the display plate in response to a turn-off of the light source.
