Display apparatus and method for automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a projecting section that projects a display image;
a first screen enabled to switch its state between a light transmission state in which the projected display image is transmitted therethrough and a light diffusion state in which the projected display image is projected thereon;
a second screen enabled to switch its state between the light transmission state and the light diffusion state;
a field of view limiting section interposed between the first screen and second screen to limit a field of view of a predetermined direction; and
