Abstract
A display device is configured to be installed in a vehicle. The display device includes: a display on which a rear image of the vehicle is configured to be displayed; a reflectance control device configured to change a reflectance of incident light; and a control circuit configured to control the reflectance. The reflectance control device includes a first part and a second part, with the first part being positioned in a first region overlapping a display surface of the display when viewed in a normal direction, and the second part being positioned in a second region surrounding the first region when viewed in the normal direction. When the rear image of the vehicle is not displayed, the control circuit controls the reflectance control device such that a second reflectance of the second part is lower than a first reflectance of the first part.
