  • Patent number: 10988024
    Abstract: A display device is configured to, when displaying an indicator needle as rotating with a relatively small rotation amount per unit time, display an indicator needle image while rotating the indicator needle image, and, when displaying the indicator needle as rotating with a relatively large rotation amount per unit time, display an indicator-needle motion-blurred image that corresponds to a rotation range per unit time of the indicator needle. An indicator-needle inner end angle formed by two sides of the indicator needle image that form an end thereof that faces a center of the rotation is equal to a minimum motion-blurred inner end angle formed by two sides of the indicator-needle motion-blurred image that has the smallest rotation amount per unit time while the indicator needle is displayed as rotating, the two sides forming an end of the indicator-needle motion-blurred image that faces the center of the rotation.
