A display device for a vehicle includes: a display, a polarization switching unit, a reflector, and a controller. The polarization switching unit includes a wave plate that can cause emission light of the display to be emitted while changing a polarization direction thereof, and a drive device that can rotate the wave plate between a position of not using polarizing sunglasses and a position of using polarizing sunglasses. The controller rotates the wave plate within a prescribed range, detects luminance values for each fixed rotation angle of the wave plate within a prescribed range from imaging information of an imaging device that transmits a principal component of transmitted light of the wave plate at a position of the eye box, and sets, as a correction angle, a rotation angle of the wave plate corresponding to a maximum luminance value among the luminance values.

Display device for vehicle

A vehicle display device includes: a projection device which includes a display surface for displaying an image and projects display light via an opening toward a reflection unit disposed to face a driver; an acquisition unit which acquires an eye position of the driver; and a controller which controls the projection device. The controller sets an image display area on the display surface so that the driver is capable of visually recognizing an image to be displayed according to the acquired eye position.
