The combiner is arranged outside the forward sight from the eye point I and on an optical path of a portion, of outer light entering a vehicle-inside from a vehicle-outside, going toward the display device through the opening at least over a whole extent, in a vehicle-width direction, of the portion of the outer light for at least partially enclosing the opening over a front through both sides portions thereof, and a polarizing plate is coated on an inner surface of the combiner.
