An electronic mirror apparatus includes a display unit, an optical mirror, a mode switcher, and a luminance adjuster. The display unit is configured to display a camera image of a peripheral view field of a vehicle captured with an on-vehicle camera. The optical mirror is disposed adjacent to a liquid crystal panel and is configured to reflect a reflected image of the peripheral view field. The mode switcher is configured to switch between a mirror mode for visual recognition of the peripheral view field with use of the reflected image in the optical mirror, and a display mode for visual recognition of the peripheral view field with use of the camera image on the display unit. The luminance adjuster is configured to adjust luminance of the display unit between a first luminance threshold for satisfying visibility and a second luminance threshold for reduction in deterioration of a backlight unit. The mode switcher is configured to switch from the display mode to the mirror mode when the first luminance threshold exceeds the second luminance threshold.
