Abstract
A display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a pointer, a scale and an electrooptic display, it being possible to represent measured values on the scale in an analog fashion using the pointer, and at least one area of the electrooptic display being arranged along the movement path of the pointer. In order to provide a high level of information density while simultaneously making the display easy to read, the electrooptic display has a first display field which runs along at least one section of the movement path of the pointer and has display segments which can be actuated, and a second display field which can be actuated in an unrestricted way.

A display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a pointer, a scale and an electrooptic display, it being possible to represent measured values on the scale in an analog fashion using the pointer, and at least one area of the electrooptic display being arranged along the movement path of the pointer, wherein said electrooptic display (4) has a first display (5) which runs along at least one section of the movement path (7) of the pointer (2) and has display segments (9) which are actuatable, and a second display field (6) which is actuatable in an unrestricted way independently of the first display field, and wherein the pointer is a circumferentially driven pointer formed as a transparent disk or ring pointer encircling the electrooptic display.
A display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a pointer, a scale and an electrooptic display, it being possible to represent measured values on the scale in an analog fashion using the pointer, and at least one area of the electrooptic display being arranged along the movement path of the pointer, wherein said electrooptic display (4) has a first display field (5) which runs along at least one section of the movement path (7) of the pointer (2) and has display segments (9) which are actuatable, and a second display field (6) which is actuatable in an unrestricted way;
- wherein the pointer is a circumferentially driven pointer formed as a transparent disk or ring pointer encircling the electrooptic display;
- and wherein the electrooptic display (4) has two liquid crystal displays (11, 12) which are arranged optically in series.
A display device, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a pointer, a scale and an electrooptic display, it being possible to represent measured values on the scale in an analog fashion using the pointer, and at least one area of the electrooptic display being arranged along the movement path of the pointer, wherein said electrooptic display (4) has a first liquid crystal display (11) having a first display field (5) which runs along at least one section of the movement path (7) of the pointer (2) and has defined display segments (9) which are adapted to the geometry of the scale and of the movement path of the pointer and which are actuatable for visualizing further information, and a second liquid crystal display (12) having a second display field (6) which is actuatable in an unrestricted way;
- and wherein said first liquid crystal display (11) and said second liquid crystal display (12) are arranged optically in series.
