PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display an image in which an incompatible sense of a passenger is suppressed without quickening the update cycle of image display.SOLUTION: Virtual data generation means 117 configuring a meter display device 82 for a vehicle is configured to, when an engine rotation number Ner is decreased, generate virtual data based on an arbitrary engine rotation number Ned between an engine rotation number Nem corresponding to an image currently displayed by a liquid crystal display device 28 and a latest engine rotation number Ner just before update instead of data for display based on the latest engine rotation number Ner. Thus, the liquid crystal display device 28 is able to update and display the generated virtual data as a virtual image on a liquid crystal panel 78.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】画像表示の更新周期を速くすることなく、乗員の違和感を抑えた画像を表示する。【解決手段】車両用メータ表示装置８２を構成する仮想データ生成手段１１７は、エンジン回転数Ｎｅｒが減少した場合、更新直前の最新のエンジン回転数Ｎｅｒに基づく表示用データに代えて、液晶表示装置２８が現在表示している画像に応じたエンジン回転数Ｎｅｍと、最新のエンジン回転数Ｎｅｒとの間の任意のエンジン回転数Ｎｅｄに基づく仮想データを生成する。これにより、液晶表示装置２８は、生成された仮想データを仮想画像として液晶パネル７８に更新表示させることができる。【選択図】図３
