Abstract: A display control apparatus of a vehicle has, a vehicle key switch for switching on or off electrical energy to the vehicle and for turning off headlights, a delay timer, for maintaining display operation of a display member for a predetermined time period after the vehicle key switch is turned off, a headlight switch for turning on or off the headlights when the key switch is turned on, a switch detecting unit for detecting operation state of the key switch and the headlight switch and, a display drive control unit for controlling the display operation of the display member within a delay time set by using nighttime reduced brightness when the switch detecting unit detects an off operation of the vehicle key switch and an operation of the headlight switch so as to prevent unnecessary consumption of the battery capacity.

Abstract: A display control apparatus of a vehicle has, a vehicle key switch for switching on or off an application of electrical energy to the vehicle and for turning off headlights, a delay timer, for maintaining display operation of a display member for a predetermined time period after the vehicle key switch is turned off, a headlight switch for turning on or off the headlights when the key switch is turned on, a switch detect unit for detecting operation states of the key switch and the headlight switch and, a display drive control unit for controlling the display operation of the display member within a delay time set by using nighttime reduced brightness when the switch detect unit detects an off operation of the vehicle key switch in the case of the headlight switch being detected on so as to prevent unnecessary consumption of the battery capacity.
