Disclosed is a parking display device which automatically flashes a display unit installed in front and rear of a vehicle according to the brightness of an environment.

The parking display device is equipped with a separate battery instead of a battery mounted in a vehicle to charge and use electricity generated by solar heat. However, since separate parts are used, such as solar panels, the configuration is complicated and cost increases in construction.

In view of these points, even when the vehicle is parked at night and the vehicle is completely stopped, it may be desirable to automatically turn on the tail light or the parking light without using the onboard battery.

Preferably, it is provided with a dedicated battery which is used for taillights or parking lights when the vehicle engine is stopped and charged while the vehicle is running.
