Abstract
An in-vehicle display device according to one embodiment includes a display panel, a heat sink, a backlight LED, a support bracket, a pivot plate, a lever, and a controller. The heat sink is disposed to cover a back surface and a peripheral surface of the display panel. The backlight LED is disposed on an upper edge of the display panel along an upper end surface of the heat sink. The support bracket holds the display panel integrally with the heat sink. The pivot plate changes a relative position to the support bracket. The lever changes a posture of the pivot plate. The controller switches between an on state and an off state of the display panel to follow a change in the relative position of the support bracket.
