Abstract

One embodiment of an in-vehicle display device includes: a display unit that includes a transparent display part and a low-transmissivity display part, and that changes an area ratio of an area of the low-transmissivity display part to an area of the transparent display part; an image capturing unit that captures a space around the vehicle as an image; and a first display control unit configured to control the display unit such that the area ratio is increased when a predetermined condition is satisfied as compared to when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and the image captured by the image capturing unit is displayed in the low-transmissivity display part after the area ratio has been increased.
