Abstract

An information display device is provided. The information display device includes a memory configured to store information along with its position, a display unit configured to display the information, and a controller configured to control the display unit. The controller controls the display unit to simultaneously display first and horizontal plot sections. In the perspective plot section, part of the information is displayed such that its display position in vertical directions becomes higher as a distance from the information display device or a movable body to which the device is mounted, to the position becomes longer. In the horizontal plot section, other part of the information is displayed such that its display position is changed in lateral directions according to an azimuth of the position with respect to the information display device or the movable body, and the display position is fixed in the vertical directions regardless of the distance.
