Abstract:
A vehicular display apparatus, when a host vehicle follows a preceding vehicle in front, displays a highlighting indication used to highlight the preceding vehicle over the preceding vehicle in a superimposing manner. The vehicular display apparatus includes a preceding vehicle detector that detects the preceding vehicle travelling in front of the host vehicle, a preceding vehicle distance calculator that calculates a distance between the preceding vehicle detected by the preceding vehicle detector and the host vehicle, a highlighting indication setter that sets the highlighting indication to be displayed over the preceding vehicle in a superimposing manner, and causes a highlight level of the highlighting indication to be higher when the distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle calculated by the preceding vehicle distance calculator is long than when the distance is short, and a head-up display.

Claim (Index 6):
A vehicular display method performed by a vehicular display apparatus that, when a host vehicle follows a preceding vehicle in front, displays a highlighting indication used to highlight the preceding vehicle over the preceding vehicle in a superimposing manner, the method comprising:\n detecting the preceding vehicle travelling in front of the host vehicle; calculating a distance between the detected preceding vehicle and the host vehicle; setting the highlighting indication to be displayed over the preceding vehicle in a superimposing manner, and causing a highlight level of the highlighting indication to be higher when the distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle is long than when the distance is short; and displaying an image of the thus-set highlighting indication on a display area provided so as to overlap with a position of a front window of the host vehicle, wherein a size of the highlighting indication is based on a size of the preceding vehicle on an image, and wherein the size of the highlighting indication is increased as the distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle increases.
