Abstract
The present invention is to provide a vehicle display apparatus having a clear view. When a vehicle runs on a flat road, a standard FOE (focus of expansion) is set so as that a horizon line is positioned at a central portion of a display area. When the vehicle approaches to an uphill road, the display area is moved to match ordinates of between a current FOE and the standard FOE. When the vehicle approaches to a downhill road, the display area is moved to match the ordinates of between the current FOE and standard FOE.
