A display device for a vehicle, the display device comprising:
- a housing;
- a first display fixed to an outside of the housing;
- a second display positioned adjacent to the first display at the outside of the housing, the second display being rotatably coupled to the housing;
- and
- a driving module installed in the housing, the driving module being connected to the second display to rotate the second display,
- wherein a portion of the second display overlaps the first display in each of a landscape mode and a portrait mode of the second display,
- wherein the second display comprises:
- a display panel;
- a rear plate positioned at a rear of the display panel and to which the display panel is coupled;
- and
- a rotating shaft disposed opposite the display panel with respect to the rear plate and protruding from a rear surface of the rear plate, the rotating shaft being configured to receive a rotational force from the driving module,
- wherein the rear plate corresponds to a shape of the display panel, and has a first center line and a second center line that intersect each other at a point where a center of the display panel is located,
- wherein the rotating shaft is positioned offset from the point,
- wherein the driving module comprises:
- a transmission shaft connected to the rotating shaft of the second display;
- a transmission gear fixed to the transmission shaft;
- an indicator protruding from an outer circumference of the transmission gear in a radial direction of the transmission gear;
- and
- a sensor positioned adjacent to the transmission gear and configured to detect movement of the indicator, and
- wherein the sensor comprises:
- a first sensor configured to detect the movement of the indicator;
- and
- a second sensor spaced apart from the first sensor in a circumferential direction of the transmission gear, the second sensor being configured to detect the movement of the indicator.
