A vehicle has a display device which widens the field of view (visible
area) reflected by a side mirror or a back mirror mounted on the vehicle.
To enable a driver driving the vehicle to confirm safety even when it is
difficult for the driver to visually recognize some of objects
surrounding the vehicle, a liquid crystal display device or an EL display
device is provided in the side mirror (door mirror), the back mirror
(room mirror) or in an interior portion of the vehicle. A camera is
mounted on the vehicle and an image from the camera is displayed on the
display device. Further, information read from a sensor (distance
measuring sensor) having the function of measuring the distance to
another vehicle, and a sensor (impact sensor) having the function of
sensing an externally applied impact force larger than a predetermined
value is displayed on the display device.
