We consider the directed first passage percolation model on ${\bf Z}^2$. In this model, we assign independently to each edge $e$ a passage time $t(e)$ with a common distribution $F$. We denote by $\vec{T}({\bf 0}, (r,\theta))$ the passage time from the origin to $(r, \theta)$ by a northeast path for $(r, \theta)\in {\bf R}^+\times [0,\pi/2]$. It is known that $\vec{T}({\bf 0}, (r, \theta))/r$ converges to a time constant $\vec{\mu}_F (\theta)$. Let $\vec{p}_c$ denote the critical probability for oriented percolation. In this paper, we show that the time constant has a phase transition divided by $\vec{p}_c$, as follows: (1) If $F(0) < \vec{p}_c$, then $\vec{\mu}_F(\theta) >0$ for all $0\leq \theta\leq \pi/2$. (2) If $F(0) = \vec{p}_c$, then $\vec{\mu}_F(\theta) >0$ if and only if $\theta\neq \pi/4$. (3) If $F(0)=p > \vec{p}_c$, then there exists a percolation cone between $\theta_p^-$ and $\theta_p^+$ for $0\leq \theta^-_p< \theta^+_p \leq \pi/2$ such that $\vec{\mu} (\theta) >0$ if and only if $\theta\not\in [\theta_p^-, \theta^+_p]$. Furthermore, all the moments of $\vec{T}({\bf 0}, (r, \theta))$ converge whenever $\theta\in [\theta_p^-, \theta^+_p]$. As applications, we describe the shape of the directed growth model on the distribution of $F$. We give a phase transition for the shape divided by $\vec{p}_c$.
