Abstract
An indication display unit for a vehicle has a reflecting member having an electric unit, a supporting member having a connecting portion electrically connectable with and disconnectable from the electric unit. The support member removably holds the reflecting member at a position of an instrument panel of a dash board with the reflecting surface thereof directed to a driver's seat. An indicating device is located at any position other than the dash board with the indicating surface thereof directed to the reflecting surface so as to project various operational information indicated on the indicating surface to the reflecting surface. Since the reflecting member of the present invention is provided with an electric unit and a removable connecting portion, it can be easily replaced by another type of reflecting member. Furthermore, by providing a solar cell at the rear surface of the reflecting member, the lowered electromotive force caused by self-discharge of batteries loaded on the vehicle can be somehow compensated.
