Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004059601A1] The invention relates to a display device (1) for household devices for displaying information on the running of the programme in said household devices. Said display device enables, in a plurality of different models of said devices, a high possibility of variation of the aesthetic make-up to be obtained, in addition to enabling said possibility of variation to be achieved in a simple manner by changing the tools and material as little as often. The inventive display device (1) for household devices is produced in such a manner that said display device (1) comprises a housing (2) for receiving a plurality of light-emitting elements (5) and said housing (2) is covered at least partially by a film-type, partially transparent means (3). The light-emitting elements (5) are arranged in the housing (2) such that during light emission, each light-emitting element (5) only radiates through a specific region (6) of the transparent means (3). A key (7) which is associated with each of said specified regions can be used to activate the corresponding light-emitting elements (5).
