9 . The display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the at least one pivoting mechanism is arranged in the interior space of the stowage volume and pushes the screen device from the stowed position, continuously variably depending on the control signal, into at least one intermediate position and maintains the screen device in the at least one intermediate position.

10 . The display device as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first display region having a first height and a first inherent stiffness and, adjacent to the first display region, the second display region having a second height and a second inherent stiffness, less than the first inherent stiffness, and

wherein when the screen device is arranged in the stowage volume at least a portion of the second display region is curved.

11 . The display device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the first inherent stiffness is caused by at least one of a materially and structurally stiffened carrier layer arranged on the screen device within the first display region.

12 . The display device as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein a height of the support element corresponds at least to the first height of the first display region,

wherein in the stowed position an upper edge of the first display region terminates flush with an upper edge of the support element, and

wherein in at least one of the use position and the intermediate position, the first display region projects beyond the upper edge of the support element at least in sections and the second display region is supported by the support element at least in sections.

13 . A motor vehicle comprising:

a passenger compartment enclosing an interior; and

a display device, including

a stowage volume, having an opening;

a screen device displaceable through the opening of the stowage volume along a predetermined displacement direction between a stowed position and at least one use position, different than the stowed position, out of an interior space of the stowage volume and into the interior of the passenger compartment, then back into the interior space of the stowage volume, the screen device including a first display region being rigid, a second display region being flexible, and a display layer extending over the first display region and the second display region; and

a support element which extends away from the interior space of the stowage volume proceeding from the opening along the predetermined displacement direction and mechanically supporting the screen device when at least partly pushed out of the stowage volume, the support element having a fixed height and the screen device being displaceable in the predetermined displacement direction relative to the support element,

wherein the first display region having a first height and a first inherent stiffness and, adjacent to the first display region, the second display region having a second height and a second inherent stiffness, less than the first inherent stiffness, and

wherein when the screen device is arranged in the stowage volume at least a portion of the second display region is curved.

14 . The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising at least one pivoting mechanism to displace the screen device between the stowed position and the at least one use position depending on a control signal.

15 . The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the at least one pivoting mechanism is arranged in the interior space of the stowage volume and pushes the screen device from the stowed position, continuously variably depending on the control signal, into at least one intermediate position and maintains the screen device in the at least one intermediate position.

16 . The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the first inherent stiffness is caused by at least one of a materially and structurally stiffened carrier layer arranged on the screen device within the first display region.

17 . The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 13 ,

wherein a height of the support element corresponds at least to the first height of the first display region,

wherein in the stowed position an upper edge of the first display region terminates flush with an upper edge of the support element, and
