  • Patent number: 9395218
    Abstract: A pointer display with a first visible indication and a second visible indication, including a first pointer element, the first pointer element being rotatable around a first axis and comprising a first pointer arm and a first stem, the first stem extending in a first axis and the first pointer arm extending away from the first stem to facilitate the first visible indication; and a second pointer element, the second pointer element being rotatable around a second axis and comprising a second pointer arm and a second stem, the second stem extending a second axis and the second pointer arm extending away from the second stem to facilitate the second visible indication, and the first axis and the second axis being coincident with each other wherein the first pointer element and the second pointer element rotate around a common axis.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8757824
    Abstract: A system includes a layer, a shaftless stepper motor, a lighting element, an input magnet, an output magnet, and a pointer. The layer includes first and second opposed sides. The shaftless stepper motor is disposed on the first opposed side of the layer. The lighting element is disposed on the first opposed side of the layer. The input magnet is disposed on the first opposed side of the layer and is connected to the shaftless stepper motor. The output magnet is disposed on the second opposed side of the layer. The pointer is connected to the output magnet. The input magnet connected to the shaftless stepper motor moves, through magnetism, the output magnet and the connected pointer, and the lighting element transmits lights to light the pointer.
