  • Patent number: 6572235
    Abstract: For an arrangement for illuminating a display device with a dial 1, the rear side of the dial 1 being opaque over its entire surface area with the exception of a transmitted-light region 2 and this transmitted-light region 2 serving for the forming of a scale, there is on the rear side of the dial 1 a reflector shell 3, the shaping of which is such that the light radiated from a light-emitting diode 4 against a reflector wall 5 is diffusely distributed over the transmitted-light region 2 of the dial 1.
