The present disclosure relates to an operating member including a support; an actuating part, which has an actuating surface facing towards an operator, and the actuating part has an edge region, which is provided outside the actuating surface and via which the actuating part is supported on the support; wherein the actuating part has a layer structure, defining the actuating surface, and the layer structure has at least two layers that differ in the modulus of elasticity; wherein, in a transitional region between the edge region and the actuating surface, a layer with the smallest modulus of elasticity is a highly elastic layer, and has the greatest layer thickness compared to other layers of the layer structure, in order to provide an elastic compliance of the actuating part; a force sensor disposed between the support and the actuating part detects a displacement of the actuating part.

The present disclosure relates to a function display for selectively displaying symbols representing switching states for a motor vehicle including a light guide stack of at least two transparent or translucent, planar light guides arranged in an overlaid manner in a stacking direction, which are spaced apart by a transparent or translucent layer including a material that is optically thinner compared to the adjacent light guides so that the light guides have a main surface facing towards an observer and a main surface facing away from the observer that faces towards a light guide which is most closely adjacent in stacking direction; at least one light source per light guide arranged to couple light into the respective light guide via an end face; wherein one light-refractive and/or light-scattering microstructured portion per light guide, which is provided in or on the light guide, is provided for generating a symbol display.
