Onboard display device, onboard display system and vehicle

Abstract

An onboard display device in accordance with the present invention includes a display section ( 11 ) attached to an instrument panel of a vehicle. The section ( 11 ) has a second display area ( 11 b ) and a first display area ( 11 a ). The second display area ( 11 b ) shows at least the speed as vehicle condition images indicating the conditions of the vehicle. The first display area ( 11 a ) shows a navigation image and other secondary images. The display section ( 11 ) measures greater in width than in height with an aspect ratio of 7:3 or greater. The aspect ratio is the width/height ratio of a display area. The onboard display device allows for a visibility-improved simultaneous display of the secondary image, such as a navigation image, and the vehicle condition image, such as a speed display, which presents information on the conditions of the vehicle.

1 . An onboard display device attached to an instrument panel of a vehicle, comprising:
 a display screen having an aspect ratio of approximately 7:3 or more and approximately 32:9 or less, the aspect ratio being a width/height ratio of the display screen, the display screen having a resolution including at least 468 rows of pixels and at least 1092 columns of pixels.   
   
   
       2 . The onboard display device of  claim 1 , wherein the aspect ratio is approximately 8:3. 
   
   
       3 . The onboard display device of  claim 1 , wherein the aspect ratio is approximately 30:9 
   
   
       4 . The onboard display device of  claim 1 , wherein the aspect ratio is approximately 32:9 
   
   
       5 . The onboard display device of  claim 1 , wherein the number of columns of pixels is 1200 or more. 
   
   
       6 . The onboard display device of  claim 1 , wherein the display screen includes at least three W-QVGA display areas in a row direction, and includes at least two W-QVGA display areas in a column direction. 
   
   
       7 . A vehicle comprising the onboard display device of  claim 1 .
