1. A display method adopted in a vehicle for allowing a driver of a vehicle to three-dimensionally recognize an information conveyor for conveying information to the driver by utilizing a difference in vision between eyes of the driver, the method comprising:
- determining a position of existence of the information conveyor;
determining whether an object exists between the determined position of existence of the information conveyor and the vehicle such that the information conveyor is substantially hidden by the object and substantially invisible from the vehicle;
changing the determined position of existence of the information conveyor, when the object is determined to exist between the determined position of existence of the information conveyor and the vehicle, to a position other than a location behind the object in advance of displaying; and

Abstract
In a head-up display device, when a preceding vehicle exists between a pre-movement information conveyor and a vehicle, the pre-movement information conveyor is moved to another position at which the pre-movement information conveyor is displayed as a recognizable post-movement information conveyor. Thus, the pre-movement information conveyor is removed from a state in which the pre-movement information conveyor is hidden behind the preceding vehicle, hence, becoming invisible. As a result, the incompatibility sense felt by the driver of the vehicle can be reduced and the information conveyor will be less overlooked.
