A cover panel, for at least partially transparently covering at least one display instrument in a vehicle, has a microstructure applied on at least one surface. The microstructure is suitable for scattering visible light which is incident on the cover panel. The at least one window region of the cover panel is cutout from the microstructure. A method for manufacturing such a cover panel uses a molding tool with an applied microstructure matrix for forming a microstructure on a part of the molding tool which is assigned to a surface of a molded cover panel. The parts of the molding tool which are assigned to window regions are cut out from the microstructure matrix.

Cover panel for at least one display instrument in a vehicle

A display instrument for a motor vehicle has a display area visible from a viewing direction. A light source illuminates the display area. A reflector reflects light emitted by the light source. A majority of the light emitted by the light source or reflected being emitted onto the display area or substantially parallel to a main plane of the display area.

Display device

The invention relates to a display element for the display unit of a vehicle. The display element can be backlit by means of at least one light source. The display element contains a film with identifying elements, and further contains a polarizing film. The films are arranged one above the other and are pressed against each other in the edge regions of the films via elastic elements.

Display element for a display unit in a vehicle

The invention relates to a motor vehicle display device comprising a display area oriented in a viewing direction, wherein a swiveling indicator rotatable about an axis of rotation is provided in the viewing direction behind the displaying area, a printed circuit board, which is provided with a first lighting device arranged thereon, is positioned in the viewing direction behind the swiveling indicator and a first optical wave guide area enables a first light emitted by the first lighting device to be transmitted to the display area further the swiveling indicator.

Display device for a motor vehicle provided with a swivelling indicator having first and/or second optical wave guide areas

An analog display instrument is provided, in particular for use in dashboards in motor vehicles, having an indicator disc mounted by a radial bearing such that the radial bearing allows the indicator disc to rotate. The indicator disc is fitted with a pointer which can be pivoted in front of a scale. The radial bearing comprises a sliding element and a guide element, with either of the slide element and the guide element having a ring structure and the other element having a holder which is suitable to hold the ring structure. The radial bearing is a journal bearing with the holder resting directly on a wall of the ring structure such that the ring structure may slide with respect to the holder.
