Abstract
A display device for displaying an indication of a quantity, such as the shift range to which an automatic transmission is set, having an indicator member mounted so as to rotate within a first range of rotational movement around a first axis, and a drive member which is rotated around a second axis, different from the first axis, within a second range of rotational movement through an angle corresponding to the quantity to be indicated. The drive member is engaged with the indicator member so as to drive the indicator member, with a point of engagement between the drive member and the indicator member describing a locus, as the drive member and the indicator member move through their ranges of rotation, the perpendicular distance from any point on which to the first axis is shorter than the perpendicular distance from the point to the second axis.
