Abstract

According to a method for activating a privacy device and a motor vehicle having a display device, which may be arranged on a dashboard of the motor vehicle and may include a liquid crystal display screen which may be assigned at least to a front passenger position, the liquid crystal display screen is divided into a plurality of segments. A respective segment includes an electronically switchable privacy device, which is configured in an activated state, to block a display of a display image of the respective segments from the viewing direction of a driver position and to permit the display from the viewing direction of the passenger position, and, in a deactivated state, to permit the display from both viewing directions. The display device is configured to determine the segments on which a moving entertainment content is displayed, and to activate the privacy device for these segments.
