Abstract:
1. A display device for a vehicle comprising: a display source displaying an image to be seen by a driver; a reflecting member, a reflection angle of which is adjustable so as o reflect a display light of an image displayed by the display source toward a point within an eye range indicating a range, within which the image is visible to the driver even when an eye point of the driver shifts; a rotating means for rotating the reflecting member; a reflection angle data storing means for storing reflection angle data indicating a reflection angle at which the reflecting member is set up; a support start detecting means for detecting a support start timing of adjusting a reflection angle indicated by the reflection angle data stored by the reflection angle data storing means; and a rotation control means for controlling the rotating means so as (a) to initially rotate the reflecting member, which is reflecting the display light from the display source, throughout an entire predetermined adjustment supporting range upon turning on of an ignition switch of the vehicle and (b) to return the reflecting member to a reflection angle set before the support, said reflection angle being indicated by the reflection angle data stored by the reflection angle data storing means, in response to the detection of the support start timing by the support start detecting means.
