Abstract
A display device, in particular for a vehicle, having a pointer which can be actuated by a measuring mechanism for analog representation of measured values, the display device including fixed scale marks which are assigned to the pointer, and a display, arranged in a region over at least part of which the pointer travels, for representing variable information, it being possible to represent scale labeling on the display. In order to reduce the manufacturing costs of the display device and to improve its legibility, the scale marks are arranged outside a display region which can be actuated, and at least one region of the display extends along the scale marks so that it is possible to represent the scale labeling in this region.
