Abstract
A display unit includes activation or driver electronics disposed on the rear side of a display element. A display unit has a front region with a display element; a rear region, facing away from the front region, with at least one control element for the activation of the at least one display element; and electrical lines for the connection of the at least one display element to the at least one control element. Preferably, an LCD display with a top layer, a liquid crystal layer, and a bottom sheet is used. The control element is disposed on the bottom sheet. The control element is, for example, an unpackaged IC, that is attached to the bottom sheet folded back on itself and is laterally offset in such a way that it cannot overheat the actual LCD display. The electrical lines are preferably conductor tracks on the bottom sheet.
