Abstract

In a display unit for a motor vehicle, a display designed as an LCD is arranged in the same plane as a dial plate of a pointer-type instrument. For this purpose, the dial plate has a cutout into which the display is bonded. This makes the display and the dial plate particularly easy to read.
