Display device

A display device having a scale shaped in a circular arc, along which arc a free end of an indicator rotatably drivable about an indicator axis is movable, the display device comprising:

• an axle (1) configured to directly or indirectly drive the indicator;
• a rotatably mounted gear wheel (2) having teeth and being arranged so as to be rotationally fixed on the axle (1);
• a tumbling gear ring (3) having a toothing, the toothing of the tumbling gear ring (3) having a diameter larger than that of the rotatably mounted gear wheel (2) so as to partially engage in the teeth of said gear wheel (2), the tumbling gear ring (3) being mounted so as to be capable of tumbling about the axle (1) of the rotatably mounted gear wheel (2), and said tumbling gear ring (3) being impinged by spring forces that are distributed across the circumference of the rotatably mounted gear wheel (2) and that act in an engagement direction of the toothing of the tumbling gear ring (3) with the teeth of the rotatably mounted gear wheel (2);
• a ferromagnetic ring (4), to which the tumbling gear ring (3) is fixedly connected, the ferromagnetic ring (4) extending in a circumferential direction of the tumbling gear ring (3);
• a plurality of coils;
• and
• at least two pole shoes (8) arranged so as to protrude through the coils to an external revolving girthed area of the ferromagnetic ring (4) and the at least two pole shoes (8) have a radial clearance in relation to the ferromagnetic ring (4) and are distributed on the circumference of the ferromagnetic ring (4),
• wherein the coils are energizable in a mutually independent manner.
