  • Patent number: 11973922
    Abstract: A travel-environment display apparatus includes a generating unit that repeatedly generates a travel-environment image of a vehicle, and a display device that updates display in accordance with the travel-environment images. The generating unit generates an image including a vehicle object corresponding to the vehicle as viewed from a rear viewpoint and a linear road-surface object extending distantly from the vehicle object to correspond to a road, lane, or lane boundary line along which the vehicle is traveling. The generating unit also moves the vehicle object between two lanes expressed by the linear road-surface object between the travel-environment images, and changes an orientation of the linear road-surface object such that a far area thereof from the viewpoint significantly moves toward an opposite side from a lane-changing direction of the vehicle, as compared with a near area, and then moves back, when the vehicle performs a lane change between the two lanes.
