Abstract
A display unit for a measuring instrument, particularly for a weighing balance ( ), has at least one line-shaped pointer element ( ) presented as an image on a display screen composed of individually controllable image dots. The image dots are aligned in the customary dot-matrix arrangement along two grid axes. The display controller is programmed so that the line-shaped pointer element, as it sweeps through its display range, maintains a constant slope angle in relation to the grid axes.
