Reconfigurable instrument cluster assembly with a mechanical pointer overlying a mirror

摘要

An instrument cluster assembly (12) suitable for installation into a vehicle (10) to display information to an operator (14) of the vehicle (10). The assembly (12) includes a reconfigurable display (20), a mirror (24), and a pointer (26). The reconfigurable display (20) is configured to display an image (22). The mirror (24) is oriented to reflect the image (22) toward the operator (14). The pointer (26) is movably overlying the mirror (24) such that the pointer (26) is effective to indicate a feature of the image (22) to the operator (14). The pointer (26) may be mounted on a rotatable shaft (28) passing through a hole (30) in the mirror (24) such that rotation of the shaft (28) is effective to orient the pointer (26).
