Abstract

A display control method for a vehicle-mounted display device includes a housing, an electro-optic layer configured to vary reflectivity of incident light, a display provided between the electro-optic layer and part of the housing, a sensor to detect intensity of light emitted on the display device, and an operation lever provided on the housing that switches the electro-optic layer between two postures. The display control method includes varying a reflectivity of the electro-optic layer within a predetermined range based on intensity of light emitted on the display device, and when the electro-optic layer is in a first posture, the predetermined range is between a first and second reflectivity. When the electro-optic layer is in a second posture, displaying a backward image on a display screen, and when the electro-optic layer is in the second posture, restricting the varying of the reflectivity within the predetermined range.
