Abstract
A display device is mounted in a working vehicle equipped with a camera that monitors areas around the working vehicle. The display device includes: a monitor screen; first display means for displaying information about the working vehicle; second display means for displaying an image captured by the camera; first switching means for switching displayed image information; malfunction detection means for detecting a malfunction occured in the working vehicle; warning display means for displaying warning information; operation detecting means for detecting whether the working vehicle is working; and second switching means for automatically switching the image information displayed to the image information input by the first display means, where each referenced display is on the monitor screen. Thus, even if a malfunction occurs in the working vehicle, an operator is made aware of the malfunction in the working vehicle without being hindered from undertaking work while checking the safety.
