A curved display apparatus and method for a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a projector disposed within a dashboard and configured to project an image onto a predetermined projection area. A first mirror reflects the image projected from the projector. A second mirror reflects the image reflected from the first mirror and a curved screen of the dashboard displays the image reflected from the second mirror. An infrared illuminator outputs infrared rays onto the curved screen and an infrared imaging device captures an infrared image of the curved screen. A physical button layer storage includes a housing and a physical button layer accommodated inside the housing and is drawn out to the front of the curved screen. A controller determines a touched position based on the infrared image and determines whether a pop-up condition is satisfied to draw out the physical button layer the front of the curved screen.
