The vehicle display condition must be adapted to the visual characteristics of elderly people, because increasing elderly drivers are expected. In this study, the measurements of two visual characteristics were found - visual acuity for distance and muddiness of crystalline lens, and the effect on display condition due to visual characteristics was investigated. The results show that the display condition for elderly people should be as follows. The size of characters is extended. The luminance level in night conditions has a widely adjustable level, and in daytime conditions is set at similar or slightly higher levels in comparison with young and middle aged drivers.
