Is known to provide display apparatuses in vehicles, the display surfaces of which can be reduced. The display surface is frequently reduced by retracting the display apparatuses into a component of the vehicle, often the dashboard. If the vehicle has a retractable display apparatus of this type, only a smaller display surface is viewable in the retracted state of the display apparatus. Only a few display contents can then be displayed on this reduced display surface. Alternatively, all display contents can still be displayed. However, these contents must then be presented in reduced form. This, however, can produce the result that the display contents can only be recognized with difficulty.
The display contents can no longer be displayed, or can be displayed only in segments or reduced on the reduced display surface.
Disclosed embodiments provide a method and an apparatus which enable display contents to be displayed in a reduced state of a display surface in the form and size in which they are also displayed on the non-reduced display surface.
