Provided is a display device for which the display content is easily viewed. A display device comprises: a cover plate having a gauge section on which an index is represented and a light transmitting portion that transmits light from the back; a needle that rotates on the gauge section and points to the index; and a display that is disposed behind the light transmitting portion and shows an image via the light transmitting portion. When viewing the display device in planar view, the gauge section has an overlapping region that overlaps with a portion of a display section where the display emits light, and the cover plate adheres to the display by a transparent resin that is between the cover plate and the display and spans at least the region of the light transmitting portion.

A meter device includes an instrument panel, a coaxial motor, a central light source, a peripheral light source, and units. The coaxial motor includes rotation shafts which rotate around a single axis perpendicular to the instrument panel. The central light source is disposed near the rotation shafts. The peripheral light source is disposed more distantly from the rotation shafts than the central light source. The units rotate together with the rotation shafts, respectively. The units includes indicator parts, respectively. Each of the indicator parts guides light to emit the light, thereby indicating a surface of the instrument panel. The units include a first unit and a second unit. The first unit includes a light path which guides light from the central light source to the indicator part. The second unit includes a light path which guides light from the peripheral light source to the indicator part, and a non-light guide part that prevents the light of the central light source from being guided to the indicator part.

A pointer is rotational relative to a dial plate. The pointer includes a body, a needle and a counterweight. The needle extends radially outward from the body. The counterweight is a separate component from the body and is affixed to the body. The counterweight is located on an opposite side of the body from the needle.

A vehicular display apparatus includes: first illumination portions that illuminate first display areas from behind by luminescence of a plurality of first light sources; first cover portions that are placed behind the first display areas and internally expose the first light sources; a second illumination portion that illuminates a second display area from behind by luminescence of a plurality of second light sources; and a second cover portion that is placed behind the second display area and has an interior partitioned from the interiors of the adjoining first cover portions while internally exposing the second light sources. The first cover portions externally form an air passage for an air flow. The second cover portion has an air hole opened to communicate the interior of the second cover portion with the air passage external to the first cover portion.
