To compensate for the recess of the LCD within the cover member, an optically clear lens is positioned with its lower surface in contact with the LCD and upper surface extending outwardly through the display opening. An image of the alphanumeric characters displayed by the LCD is projected on the outer surface of the lens of create an optical illusion of the display characters at the surface of the cover.
