Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a display part which has a plurality of divided segments and a control part, configured to control voltages applied to the segments. The control part changes a turning-on pattern of segments to be output to the display part from a first turning-on pattern which turns on a first segment group to a second turning-on pattern which turns on a second group, and subsequently to a third turning-on pattern which turns on a third segment group. Change of the turning-on pattern includes a control to apply a voltage to at least one of segments of the plurality of segments which are not commonly used in the first segment group in a period from a predetermined time before starting of change to the third turning-on pattern.

Abstract: If a state to be informed occurs during an on-state of an ignition switch of a vehicle, a first and a second switching transistor are turned on by a control signal of a signal line, and an indicator lamp is lighted by power from a meter power supply. In addition, a third and a fourth switching transistor are turned on by a sub control signal of the signal line during an off-state of the ignition switch, and the indicator lamp is lighted by power from a continuous power supply.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a display part which has a plurality of divided segments and a control part, configured to control voltages applied to the segments to turn on or turn off each of the segments. The control part changes a turning-on pattern of segments to be output to the display part from a first turning-on pattern which turns on a first segment group selected from the plurality of segments to a second turning-on pattern which turns on a second group selected from the plurality of segments. Change of the turning-on pattern includes a control to apply a voltage to at least one of the segments of the first segment group which are not commonly used in the second segment group in a predetermined time from starting of the change.
