Abstract: In an indicating instrument (1) with a translucent dial (8), an illuminated pointer (4) is arranged, out of the viewing direction of a viewer, behind the dial (8) on its rear, inner side (7). The surface of the outer side and/or of the inner side of the dial is reflection-reducing so as to enable the dial to serve the function of a covering glass.

Abstract: The invention relates to a display device (1), in particular in a vehicle, having a housing (3) on the front side of which facing a viewer a liquid crystal cell (2) is mounted, and having a printed circuit board which is arranged on the rear of the housing (3) and has the purpose of making electrical contact with the liquid crystal cell (2), a contacting element (8) which is clamped against the liquid crystal cell (2), is approximately plate-shaped and is guided at its larger sides (13, 14) in the housing (3) and has the purpose of making electrical connection with the printed circuit board and liquid crystal cell (2) being arranged between the printed circuit board and a contacting region (7) of the liquid crystal cell (2) which is arranged outside a display region (6) of the liquid crystal cell (2).

Abstract: In an indicating instrument (1) with a translucent dial (8), an illuminated pointer (4) is arranged, out of the viewing direction of a viewer, behind the dial (8) on its rear, inner side (7). An additional covering glass for protecting the pointer (4) can thus be dispensed with.
