Provided is a display device for a vehicle that can rapidly execute preparation completion for display of vehicle information. The display device for a vehicle is provided with a processing unit, a display, and a rotational drive unit that can rotate a reflector on a prescribed axis. The processing unit includes an estimating unit that estimates planned start of the vehicle by a crew, and when the vehicle is planned to be started, the angle of rotation of the rotational drive unit moves from an initial angle corresponding to an initial position (position of point of origin) of the reflector to a first intermediate angle (first stopping position) between the initial angle and a final angle corresponding to the normal operating position of the reflector. After the vehicle has been actually started, the angle of rotation of the rotational drive unit moves to a final angle from the first intermediate angle.

Display device for vehicle

Provided is a display device capable of reliably moving a micromirror to a parking position when operation is stopped. A head-up display device drives a DMD element on the basis of electric power from a battery power supply. The head-up display device is provided with: a DMD controller for performing control of the DMD element on the basis of the electric power from the battery power supply; a voltage monitoring circuit for monitoring the voltage of the battery power supply; and a backup power supply for supplying power to the DMD controller as a backup of the battery power supply. When the voltage of the battery power supply which has been monitored by the voltage monitoring circuit falls to or below a threshold value, the DMD controller moves the DMD element to the parking position on the basis of the electric power from the backup power supply.
