Method and display device for transitioning display information

A display device for displaying information in a display area in a motor vehicle, comprising:

• the display area adapted to graphically represent graphical objects;
• and
• a control device adapted to generate, based on a change from a first graphical object to a second graphical object, graphic data that controls the display area to cause the first graphical object to disappear and the second graphical object to be faded in, such that, in a perspective representation on the display area, the first graphical object is swiveled out about a first axis disposed apart from and outside of the display area, and, in the perspective representation on the display area, the second graphical object is swiveled in about a second axis disposed apart from and outside of the display area, until the second graphical object is fully displayed, wherein the first axis and the second axis coincide;
• wherein a duration of the swiveling in and/or of the swiveling out is ascertained as a function of the velocity of the motor vehicle, such that the duration of the swiveling in and/or of the swiveling out is longer for greater velocities of the motor vehicle and shorter for lesser velocities of the motor vehicle.
