Abstract

A vehicular display device includes: a display board for displaying a scale; a liquid crystal display panel including an image display surface for displaying an image, and having an overlapping region in which the image display surface overlaps the display board further rearward than the display board; a light source for illuminating the liquid crystal display panel; and a first light guide body for receiving light from the light source via the liquid crystal display panel and emitting the light. The first light guide body includes: a light receiving part disposed between the overlapping region of the image display surface and the display board, for receiving the light from the light source via the liquid crystal display panel; and a light-emitting part exposed outwardly from the display board as viewed by a viewer, for emitting light from the first light guide body that is received by the light-receiving part.
