Abstract

A display system is a display system which is installed in a vehicle and includes a liquid crystal display unit which outputs information representing a deviation amount of the current running speed of the vehicle from a speed limit set for an area where the vehicle is currently running.

Claims

1. A display system installed in a vehicle, comprising:

a display unit for displaying a deviation amount of a current running speed of the vehicle from a speed limit set for an area where the vehicle is currently being driven, wherein

the display unit outputs a ratio of a difference between the running speed and the speed limit to the speed limit by a scale display in which a point where the ratio is zero is used as an origin, with a scale division indicating a predetermined ratio of the difference between the running speed and the speed limit to the speed limit.

2. The display system according to claim 1, wherein

the display unit has a running speed display area which outputs information representing the current running speed of the vehicle and a deviation amount display area which outputs information representing the deviation amount.
