Claims (16)

1. A display device comprising:

a recording device for recording a traffic lane;

an evaluation unit for computing a lane marking to form such an illustration of the lane marking in the display that a type of the illustration of the lane marking indicates a quality of the recording of the lane.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a processor for computing the lane marking in such a way that the lane marking is illustrated in the display in such a way that it is shown to a driver in place of an actual lane marking.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display is a head-up display and the lane marking is projected in the head-up display in such a way that it appears to a driver to be in a driving space ahead of a vehicle.
