ABSTRACT:
A device for displaying the value of a quantity represented by input data comprises a mobile indicator member (24) driven by a stepping motor (20), a control circuit (18) for this motor for delivering drive pulses to the motor in response to the input data to move the indicator member to a position corresponding to the value of the quantity, and a dial (26) for showing an indexing system, for example a scale, which cooperates with the indicator member to indicate the value at least approximately. The dial comprises a liquid crystal, electrochromic or electroluminescent electrooptical display device (26) which displays the indexing system in response to signals from another control circuit (28) when the latter receives an activation signal. The device enables values of a single quantity situated in different ranges or values of distinct quantities to be indicated, by making the cell selectively display corresponding indexing systems. A specific application of the device is for automobile dashboards.
