Abstract

The application relates to a display comprising a pointer (20) configured to be illuminated by the light source and a graphic surface (12) for cooperation with the pointer (20). In order to reduce an amount of light transmitted from the pointer to the graphic surface (12) a sleeve (24) is provided around the pointer (20). This reduces the halo effect. As alternative or in addition, a cap (52) may be provided. The display may be used in vehicles or buildings.
