Transparent, dyed cooktop

A transparent, dyed cooktop with color display capability, comprising:

• a glass ceramic having high quartz mixed crystals as a predominant crystal phase, the glass ceramic not containing chemical refining agents arsenic oxide and antimony oxide except for unavoidable trace amounts, the glass ceramic having a transmission value of greater than 0.1% in a visible region of light in an entire wavelength region greater than 450 nm, a light transmission in the visible region of 0.8 to 5%, and a transmission value in an infrared region at 1600 nm from 45 to 85%;
• and
• a display apparatus having a display device configured to indicate a different operating condition with a feature selected from the group consisting of a color, a symbol, and combinations thereof,
• wherein the glass ceramic comprises coloring oxides Fe2O3 and V2O5 with a content of the Fe2O3 and being at least as high as a content of the V2O5 to achieve the transmission values.
