  • Patent number: 11958359
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a display device, a display control method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium. The display device of an embodiment is mounted on a vehicle and includes: a display part; and a display controller displaying operation information related to downhill road travel control, which controls a speed of the vehicle traveling downhill to a constant speed, on the display part. The downhill road travel control switches from a standby state to an active state when an execution condition, including that input of an accelerator operation and a brake operation is stopped, is satisfied. The display controller displays by changing at least a part of a display mode of the operation information when the downhill road travel control is in the standby state and the input of the accelerator operation or the brake operation is stopped.
