PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit video display free from distortions by providing the device with a concave spherical surface screen at the front surface in a vehicle casing and plural projectors on the rear thereof and projecting the divided regions corresponding to the concave spherical surface screen by these projectors, thereby displaying one video on the concave spherical surface screen. SOLUTION: The inside front surface of the vehicle casing 1 is provided with the transversely long concave spherical surface screen 4 (hereafter described as the screen) which is arcuate both at the longitudinal section and cross section. The upper part on the rear of the inside is provided with the plural projectors 5. The respective projectors 5 are so arranged that the projected videos from the projectors 5 are made radial. The respective projectors 5 respectively project the divided regions allocated on the screen 4. The one video is formed and displayed on the screen 4 by the plural projectors 5 in the manner described above. The video of high fineness free from the distortions may, therefore, be displayed even if the screen 4 is a concave spherical surface.
