An on-vehicle display device in which a panel supporting portion (11) is restored to a raised position even if a supporting member (10) that supports a display panel (20) is fractured due to shock is provided. When shock is applied to the supporting member (10) that supports the display panel (20), the supporting member (10) is fractured at fracture surfaces (14a, 14b) of a preferentially fracturing portion. A connecting metallic plate (20) is secured to the supporting member (10), and a bend portion (24) is formed at an intermediate portion (23). When a force in a direction (ii) acts upon the panel supporting portion (11), the bend portion (24) stretches, so that the connecting metallic plate (20) is prevented from being cut. Thereafter, by an elastic force of the connecting metallic plate (20), the panel supporting portion (11) is restored to its raised position, so that the fracture surfaces (14a, 14b) are prevented from facing an occupant.
