Abstract

A display apparatus and method for a vehicle are provided. The display apparatus includes a laser scanning projector that projects an image onto a predetermined projection area and a first mirror that reflects the projected image. A second mirror reflects the image reflected from the first mirror and a third mirror reflects the image reflected from the second mirror. A first curved screen displays the image reflected from the third mirror and a fourth mirror is disposed between the laser scanning projector and the first mirror. A second curved screen displays an image reflected from the fourth mirror. A controller determines the image displayed on the first curved screen and the image displayed on the second curved screen. The fourth mirror is rotated by a motor with respect to a rotation shaft and selectively reflects the projected images.
