  • Display unit
    Patent number: 9091883
    Abstract: A display unit for a motor vehicle, having a display area with a back-lit liquid crystal display device bounded by a border area is provided. The display unit includes a light source, and behind the display area a liquid crystal cell, a first polarizer and a second polarizer, the light source being configured to provide back-light illumination to the cell and the polarizers forming a pair of polarizers on opposite sides of the cell such that, in use, the first polarizer polarizes the illumination and the second polarizer either passes or blocks this illumination when the polarization of the illumination is rotated by the cell. A first cover sheet extends over said cell, and a second cover sheet extends over the first cover sheet.
