Abstract
The present invention relates to a dual view display device where a display surface is divided into a first and a second sub-section (10a, 10b). A backlighting arrangement is used which provides light with different angular distributions (16a, 16b; 16a′, 16b′) to the different sub-sections. This allows at low cost e.g. in a vehicle the displaying of movies or computer game windows at a part of a display, which part is not visible for the driver of the vehicle.
