Indicating light, especially for a motor vehicle, having an improved appearance when extinguished

An indicator light for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a flux recuperating means defining a first direction of the indicator light;
• a light source disposed in relation to the recuperating means in a position whereby the recuperating means can receive a light flux from the source and redirect the flux forwards in the first direction;
• a first screen in front of the recuperating means, the first screen comprising a plurality of lines of optical elements extending in a second direction substantially at right angles to the first direction, whereby the optical elements can receive the light flux in the form of a beam from the recuperating means and converge the beam forwardly;
• and
• a second screen disposed in front of the first screen and spaced away from the first screen, the second screen including, over at least part of its thickness, colored bands and translucent bands arranged alternately with the colored bands, the colored and the translucent bands being oriented substantially in the second direction, wherein the lines of optical elements are spaced apart from each other, the first screen further including opaque colored bands separating the lines of optical elements from each other, and said colored opaque bands being aligned in the first direction with the colored bands of the second screen.
