DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE
A display apparatus is provided for a vehicle that includes, but is not limited to a scale having a plurality of scale values for at least one associated operating parameter of the vehicle, including, but not limited to an indicator for the display of a current operating parameter value. The scaling of the scale is variable and an adaptation of the scaling is made depending on the current operating parameter.
1 . A display apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a scale having a plurality of scale values for at least one associated operating parameter of the vehicle; and
an indicator configured to display a current operating parameter value,
wherein the plurality of scale values of the scale is variable and an adaptation of is made depending on a current operating parameter
2 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the indicator is a pointer that points to the scale corresponding to a value of the current operating parameter.
3 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the indicator identifies the current operating parameter value in a color.
4 . The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the indicator is configured to identify the value of the current operating parameter with a variation of a display brightness.
5 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the scaling has a higher resolution at low operating parameter values.
6 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the scale has a partial region for display of additional information when the operating parameter lies within a predefined operating parameter range.
7 . The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the information represents a further operating parameter.
8 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one associated operating parameter is a speed of the vehicle.
9 . The display apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising a navigation system configured to identify a regional-specific speed restriction, and
wherein the adaptation of the scaling is dependent on the regional-specific speed restriction.
10 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one associated operating parameter is an engine speed of a vehicle drive.
11 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one associated operating parameter is a temperature of a vehicle operating apparatus.
