Abstract
A display device for a vehicle includes a surrounding environment recognition unit and a display unit. The display unit displays a first vehicle icon corresponding to an own vehicle, line icons on both sides of the first vehicle icon, and an adjacent-lane icon sideward of a corresponding one of the line icons. The line icons and the adjacent-lane line icon are displayed, with clearances between them narrowing as is farther away from the first vehicle icon. The first vehicle icon is on fixed display. The line icons and the adjacent-lane line icon are on movable display, in a lateral direction of a display area. The surrounding environment recognition unit recognizes presence or absence of an obstacle in the adjacent lane. The display unit provides color-coded display of a display region corresponding to the adjacent lane, according to the presence or the absence of the obstacle.
