Abstract
A display device for a motor vehicle is provided. The display device includes at least one display with a display surface for displaying content via a plurality of pixels. The display device comprises a light-guiding lens with at least one entry surface and an exit surface. During operation of the display device the light emitted from the display surface enters the light-guiding lens through the at least one entry surface and is emitted by an exit surface, such that the content is shown on the exit surface. In one embodiment, the exit surface features a different shape. In another embodiment, the exit surface is a different size than the at least one display surface. In another embodiment, the display device comprises several displays with display surfaces at distances to each other, and the light-guiding lens features merely one exit surface or several exit surfaces directly adjoining each other.
