Abstract

A vehicle-mounted display device is provided with a first attention calling indicator, and a second attention calling indicator. The first attention calling indicator includes first light emitting units which emit light, is located in one of front left and right sides of a driver's seat, guides light from the first light emitting units toward a direction of the driver's seat using a reflection from a windshield. The second attention calling indicator includes second light emitting units which emit light, is located in the other of the front left and right sides of the driver's seat, guides the light from the second light emitting units toward the direction of the driver's seat using the reflection from the windshield or a reflection from a door window so as to perform display which displays symmetrically along with the first attention calling indicator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A vehicle-mounted display device comprising:
a first attention calling indicator; and a second attention calling indicator, wherein the first attention calling indicator includes first light emitting units which emit light, wherein the first attention calling indicator is located in one of front left and right sides of a driver's seat, wherein the first attention calling indicator guides light from the first light emitting units toward a direction of the driver's seat using a reflection from a windshield, wherein the second attention calling indicator includes second light emitting units which emit light, wherein the second attention calling indicator is located in the other of the front left and right sides of the driver's seat, and wherein the second attention calling indicator guides the light from the second light emitting units toward the direction of the driver's seat using the reflection from the windshield or a reflection from a door window so that it is possible to perform display which displays symmetrically along with the first attention calling indicator at a time of visual recognition by a driver.

2 . The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first light emitting units and the second light emitting units respectively include multiple light emitters, and wherein the second attention calling indicator includes an adjustment member which adjusts a virtual distance from the light emitter to a reflection surface, at least in the light emitter which uses the reflection of the door window.
