Abstract

A display apparatus for a vehicle includes a display part installed at a front surface of a center fascia of the vehicle to display an image, a housing for supporting the display part, and a driving part for moving the housing in a upper side and a lower side direction with respect to the center fascia.

Claims

1. A display apparatus for a vehicle, the display apparatus comprising:

a display part installed at a front surface of a center fascia of the vehicle to display an image;

a housing for supporting the display part; and

a driving part for moving the housing in a upper side and a lower side direction with respect to the center fascia,

wherein a surface of the housing which faces the center fascia has a curved surface bulged in an upper side and lower side direction.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a connection part, wherein the connection part allows a distance between the housing and the driving part to be varied, and the connection part is provided to be tiltable upward and downward.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display part moved upward is provided to be further upright than when moved downward.

4. The display apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a connection part connecting the housing to the driving part,

wherein the connection part is provided so as to be tiltable upward and downward.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the driving part comprises a motor, a rotating shaft rotated by a driving force of the motor, and a nut member provided to move in a upper side and a lower side direction by rotation of the rotating shaft.

6. The display apparatus of claim 5, wherein the rotating shaft is coupled to the nut member through a ball screw coupling scheme.

7. A vehicle comprising:

a main display part installed at a front surface of a center fascia of the vehicle and provided between a driver seat and an assistant seat,

wherein the main display part is installed so as to be movable upward and downward with respect to the center fascia, and

wherein a surface of the main display part which faces the center fascia has a curved surface bulged in a upper side and lower side direction,

the center fascia has a curved surface recessed to correspond with the curved surface of the main display part, and

the main display part is provided to be slidable on the recessed curved surface of the center fascia.

8. The vehicle of claim 7, wherein the main display part moved upward is provided to be further upright than when moved downward.

9. The vehicle of claim 7, wherein in a state in which the main display part is moved upward, the main display part protrudes upward of an upper end of the center fascia.

10. The vehicle of claim 7, wherein the main display part comprises a center panel that traverses the main display part in a width direction of the main display part;

and

the main display part moved upward is divided by the center panel into an upper display part and a lower display part.

11. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the main display part moves upward during a driving state of the vehicle, and the main display part moves downward during a stop state of the vehicle.

12. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the main display part moves upward and downward depending on at least one condition from among a motion of the vehicle and a position of a gear.

13. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the main display part moved upward is provided to be further upright than when moved downward, and

the center panel is spaced apart from the main display part.

14. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the main display part moves upward during a driving state of the vehicle, and the main display part moves downward during a parked state of the vehicle.

15. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the center panel is provided with a display part.

16. The vehicle of claim 15, further comprising a cluster installed on a portion of a dash board in front of the driver seat and an assistant seat display part that is installed on another portion of the dash board in front of the assistant seat,

wherein the cluster, the center panel and the assistant seat display part are integrally formed with each other.
