A flush-fitted instrument cluster for a motor vehicle includes a first display device, a second display device, and a reflecting optical combination device. The first display device ( 2 ) displays a first image located in a direct field of vision ( 3 ) of a viewer. The first image includes a background surface area ( 2 c). The second display device ( 4; 40, 41 ) is arranged at an angle to the first display device ( 2 ) and displays a second image including a background surface area ( 40 a, 42 a; 41 a, 43 a). The reflecting optical combination device ( 5 ) selectively displays the second image in the field of vision ( 3 ) of the viewer with the first image. The first image and the second image are not completely overlapping in the field of vision ( 3 ) of the viewer to form an overlapping surface area ( 40 a, 41 a) and non-overlapping surface area ( 42 a, 43 a). When the background surface area ( 40 a, 42 a; 41 a, 43 a) of the second display device ( 4; 40, 41 ) and the background surface area ( 2 c) of the first display device ( 2 ) have varying degrees of luminance between the overlapping surface area ( 40 a, 41 a) and the non-overlapping surface area ( 42 a, 43 a), at least one of transparency and brightness of the non-overlapping surface area ( 42 a, 43 a) is adjusted to minimize an unwanted jump in brightness.
