Vehicular display device

A vehicular display device mounted on a vehicle, comprising:

• a display panel that displays information relating to the vehicle;
• a display controller that displays an opening animation image in a predetermined display region of the display panel;
• a ring-shaped member which has a predetermined diameter and is disposed at a position corresponding to the display region of the display panel;
• and
• a detector that detects a getting-in action associated with an occupant getting in the vehicle, wherein
• the detector includes, as a sensor that detects the getting-in action, at least one of a lock sensor that detects unlocking of a door lock of the vehicle by the occupant, a door sensor that detects opening of a door of the vehicle by the occupant, and a seat sensor that detects the occupant getting in the vehicle,
• the display controller displays a checklist indicating a checking result of a state of each unit of the vehicle in the predetermined display region as the information relating to the vehicle after a driving source for traveling of the vehicle is started,
• the display controller starts a display operation of displaying the opening animation image in the display region of the display panel when the getting-in action is detected by the detector, and continues the display operation at least until the checklist is displayed,
• the display controller displays, as the opening animation image, an animation image, in which an image display operation of changing a display form of a graphic object is periodically repeated, on the display panel,
• the display controller displays, as the opening animation image, a first animation image in which an image display operation of gradually enlarging a ring-shaped graphic object from a predetermined small size is periodically repeated, and a second animation image in which an image display operation of changing a wavy graphic object so as to spread in a horizontal direction is periodically repeated, in the display region of the display panel,
• the display controller periodically repeats an image display operation, in the first animation image, of displaying the graphic object in the small size, gradually enlarging the size of the graphic object, and removing the graphic object when the size of the graphic object reaches a predetermined large size, and
• the display controller periodically repeats an image display operation, in the second animation image, of displaying a pair of left and right wavy objects in a region corresponding to an inner side of the ring-shaped member as the wavy graphic object, and moving the pair of left and right wavy objects toward a left outside and a right outside, respectively, so that the pair of left and right wavy objects is displayed in a region extending from the region corresponding to the inner side of the ring-shaped member to a region corresponding to the outsides.
