Claims14
A movable display device comprising display means for displaying a driving condition of a vehicle, vehicle condition-collecting means for collecting information regarding the driving condition of the vehicle and control means for controlling the display means,
- wherein the display means is movable in a horizontal direction from a side of a dashboard to a center of the vehicle, in a perspective direction from the dashboard side to a position just below a front windshield glass, and in a vertical direction from the dashboard side to a position above the dashboard, the position of the display means being configured by the control means,
- wherein the display means is configured such that the rotation angle about a vertical axis of the display means and the rotation angle about a horizontal axis of the display means directly oriented toward an advance direction are changeable, and the rotation angle about a vertical axis of the display means and the rotation angle about a horizontal axis of the display means directly oriented toward an advance direction are set by the control means, and
- the vehicle condition-collecting means detects a driver's head through a position sensor mounted at a motor-driven driver's seat, the control means controls the rotation angle about a vertical axis of the display means after movement and the rotation angle about a horizontal axis of the display means directly oriented toward an advance direction to be changed in such a fashion as to be oriented toward the driver's head.
