The invention is directed to an electronic multidigit display device illuminatable by means of light sources intended for a taximeter for indication of a trip price, of a possibly occurring surcharge as well as for superposition of stored data. The display device (3) is composed of a transflecting liquid crystal display (37) (LCD), a frame (38) as a common receptacle of the liquid crystal display (37) and a light conducting plate (43) and contact elements (39) for electrically connecting the liquid crystal display (37) with actuation lines (40) on a printed circuit board (2) and a hood (42) surrounding the frame (38) and provided with detent elements (41). By means of the hood (42) the complete display device (3) can be plugged into the printed circuit board and detented with same in a correct position with simultaneous completion of all line connections. The display device (3) is designed as a component intended specifically for the printed circuit board and for application in a taximeter device.
Multi digit electronic display device illuminatable by means of light sources, for instance for a taximeter for display of a fare to be paid and possibly occurring surcharge, as well as for superimposition of stored and tariff data, comprising a display device (3) having front and rear sides and composed of a liquid crystal display (37) (LCD), the liquid crystal display including a semi-transparent mirror located on a rear side of a liquid crystal cell, the semi-transparent mirror having reflective properties for reflecting ambient light and being transparent for light, a printed circuit board (2) including actuation lines, a frame (38) as a receptacle of the liquid crystal display (37), a light conducting plate (43) mounted on the frame (38) and contact elements (39) attacned to the frame (38) for electrical connection of the liquid crystal display (37) with actuation lines (40) on the printed circuit board (2) and a hood (42) surrounding the frame (38);
