Abstract: The display or indicating device comprises at least one display unit (1) having a display dot (10) as well as having means for actuating the display dot. The latter has a pivotably mounted baseplate (11) which is provided with an electroluminescence apparatus (30). Spurs (14, 15) protrude from the baseplate (11) and are mounted such that they can rotate in bearing sleeves (23, 24) made of an electrically conductive material. The electrodes (31, 32) of the apparatus (30) extend right into the region of the spurs or the bearing sleeves. Fitted on the respective spur (14, 15) is a contact element (36), which is electrically connected to the electrode that is present here. The bearing sleeves (23, 24) are fitted on supports (22) made of an electrically conductive material, these supports being connected to a supply source. The display dot (10) is provided with a permanent magnet (8).
