The present invention relates to a display device having a scale.
Display devices in round shape are already known in which a rotating pointer marks the values to be indicated
Furthermore, digital display devices are known in which the value to be indicated is represented by a sequence of digits.
It has been found that an indication in the form of an analog pointer means has the advantage over said digital means that it can be immediately noted visually by the user. Analog pointer means in the form of a rotating pointer have, however, the disadvantage that a substantially round dial must be selected for the direct visual perception of the value indicated.
The object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a display device which has the advantages of an analog visual indication, with which the value indicated can be read conveniently even in the case of scales having smaller dimensions.
