PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle periphery viewing apparatus capable of reducing the dead angle while improving aerodynamic performance.SOLUTION: A vehicle periphery viewing apparatus 10 includes: cameras 11, 12 provided on the vehicle side; monitors 13, 14 for displaying videos captured by means of the cameras 11, 12; actuators 15, 16 capable of changing the orientations of the cameras 11, 12 at least backward and downward for the vehicle; and a control section 17 for driving the actuators 15, 16 so that the orientations of the cameras 11, 12 are changed according to the situation. It is not required to provide two cameras on one side of a vehicle 1, when providing one camera capable of changing the orientation one side of the vehicle 1, and providing the field of vision on the periphery of the vehicle according to the situation. Since the size of a protrusion for providing the cameras 11, 12 is relatively small, the dead angle can be reduced while improving the aerodynamic performance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】空力性能を向上させつつ死角を減らすことができる車両周辺視認装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両周辺視認装置10は、車両側部に設けられるカメラ11、12と、カメラ11、12により撮影された映像を表示するモニタ13、14と、カメラ11、12の向きを少なくとも車両に対して後ろ向きと下向きとに変更可能なアクチュエータ15、16と、状況に応じてカメラ11、12の向きが変わるようにアクチュエータ15、16を駆動する制御部17とを備える。このように向きが変わるカメラを車両1の片側に1つ設け、状況に合った車両周辺の視界を提供することによって、カメラを車両1の片側に2つ設ける必要がなくなる。これにより、カメラ11、12を設ける突起物のサイズが比較的小さくて済む。したがって、空力性能を向上させつつ死角を減らすことができる。【選択図】図1
