A vehicle display apparatus comprises a display screen element (202) for showing variable information on a display element main side (such as the front of the display element, 216), and a display element (100) which contains at least one structure (104) representing fixed information (for example scale graduation or index giving the vehicle speed represented by the pointer position). The display element comprises an end face (106) which extends at an angle to the display screen element, and receives light from a light source (206). The apparatus may comprise a further display element main side onto which light is coupled (such as the back of the display element, 214). A reflector surface may be arranged adjoining the edge of the display element (100). A light conductor (light-guide) (102) is included, comprising coupling points (220, 222) and possibly chamfers (224) or curved portions to direct the light from the source (206) to the display element input face (106). The guided light illuminates and highlights the structure(s) (104). The light conductor may be shaped such that light is divided into separate bundles. A method for producing the aforementioned display is also provided.
