Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19824425A1] The invention relates to an illuminated indication device for road traffic. A number of indicating points are formed with indicating lenses (1) in or on an indicating surface. Said indicating lenses have a light entry surface (9) and a light exit surface (8) and are illuminated by the rear face of the indicating surface, which consists of individually allocated light-emitting elements with a small diameter. The aim of the invention is to make the indication device easier to read. To this end, the light entry surface (9) and/or the light exit surface (8) is/are shaped in such a way that the distribution of light intensity on the indicator surface extends further in a horizontal direction than in a vertical direction.
