In a display unit for a motor vehicle, a display designed as an LCD is arranged in the same plane as a dial plate of a pointer-type instrument. For this purpose, the dial plate has a cutout into which the display is bonded. This makes the display and the dial plate particularly easy to read.

A invention relates to a self-illuminating LCD display device containing an LCD module with a first polarizer layer ( ), a first transparent substrate ( ), a first transparent electrode layer ( ), a liquid crystal layer ( ), a second transparent electrode layer ( ), a second transparent substrate ( ) and a second polarizer layer ( ), and containing an LED module for illuminating the LCD module, having a third transparent electrode layer ( ), a layer ( ) containing organic light-emitting materials, a fourth electrode layer ( ) and a substrate ( ) as well as, if appropriate, further layers contained between the third and fourth electrode layer. A self-illuminating LCD display device according to the invention which is particularly easy to produce is distinguished in that one of the polarizer layers or, when the polarizer layer is arranged between the substrate and electrode layer, the substrate carrying it, is the substrate for the third transparent electrode layer.
