Abstract
In a vehicle display device having displays (11, 12, 13) fitted in a grained panel (2a) of an instrument panel (2) of a vehicle and serving to emit a display light to an outside during lighting, a front face of each of the displays is covered with a screen (20) having a grained pattern which is provided with a large number of minute holes capable of transmitting the display light. Consequently, a screen can be seen through the minute holes of the screen when the display is turned on, while the display is hidden by the grained screen (20) when the display is turned off. Therefore, the whole portion including the part having the display fitted therein is unified to be grained.
