A display device is provided for making images of a movie, a TV or the like invisible
to a driver while the vehicle is traveling, but at the same time visible to a passenger
riding in a front passenger seat. A viewing angle control shutter 20 using
a liquid crystal is disposed facing a front surface of a liquid crystal display
panel 19. When the vehicle is in a stopping state, the viewing angle control
shutter 20 is set to off, thereby making the image that is displayed on
the display panel 19 visible from the driver's seat side and the front passenger
seat side. While the vehicle is traveling, the viewing angle control shutter 20
is driven such that the driver can watch an image produced by the navigation
device 13, but cannot watch an image reproduced by a DVD reproduction device
14.
