Abstract
A display device is mounted on a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle includes a driving mode controller configured to control switching between a first driving mode in which internal charging of an electricity storage device by a power generator is limited and a second driving mode in which internal charging of the electricity storage device by the power generator is controlled so that the residual capacity of the electricity storage device is maintained within a given control range. The display device includes a display for displaying information, and a display controller. The display controller displays information regarding start of an internal-combustion engine on the display when the internal-combustion engine is started in the first driving mode and does not display information regarding start of the internal-combustion engine on the display when the internal-combustion engine is started in the second driving mode.
