Abstract
A display is described which is arranged in a motor vehicle in the area of the windshield. A sun visor will not be required when electrochromic glass is used in the case of the windshield. This also eliminates the make-up mirror. A camera is therefore integrated into the display such that an object photographed by the camera is shown on the display as a mirror image.
