  • Motor vehicle display device and motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11422366
    Abstract: At least one display object is displayed by a first display mechanism and a second display mechanism, each having a display surface. At least one of the two display mechanisms is designed such that the display object is produced in a first predetermined sub-region on one of the two display surfaces. The display surfaces are mirror-like, arranged parallel to each other and facing each other such that a mirror shaft is formed between the display surfaces of the first display mechanism and the second display mechanism, such that the display surfaces reflect each other inside the mirror shaft. The motor vehicle display device is designed to reflect the at least one display object produced in the first predetermined sub-region, after a predefinable number of reflections inside the mirror shaft, in a second predetermined sub-region of the first display mechanism outside the mirror shaft.
