Abstract
An on-vehicle display device mounted on a ceiling including an open and close mechanism, which secures the rearward visibility during the backward driving of the vehicle and also enables the user to continue to enjoy display images. The on-vehicle display device includes a control means which controls the display, when the displayis open at a best view-angle position, to move in even more widely open direction to a predetermined angle (an displacement-angle position), upon detection of entering a backward driving state of the vehicle. The displayis controlled to return to the best view-angle position when the backward driving state of the vehicle is terminated.
