Described is a display device (10) with a printed circuit board (12), with at least one light source (14) and with a single-segment or multi-segment display (16) which is connected by optical waveguides (46) to the light sources (14) which are preferably SMD-LEDs. The display device (10) has a block (18) for holding the optical waveguides (46) firmly in position, with a front surface associated with the single-segment or multi-segment display (16) and a base surface associated with the light sources (14). The optical waveguides (46) are in the form of light fingers (38, 42) which extend through the block (18). The printed circuit board (12) can include any angle of between 0 and .gtoreq.90.degree. with the multi-segment display (16).
An operating state display system includes a housing, a board provided inside the housing, a first light emitter attached on the board, a second light emitter arranged adjacent to the first light emitter on the board, a first light guider attached to the housing to face the first light emitter, a second light guider attached to the housing to face the second light emitter, and an electronic component attached between the first and second light emitters on the board. The electronic component protrudes by a predetermined length in the same direction as the first and second light emitters from a surface of the board. The predetermined length is longer than a distance between the first light emitter and the board and a distance between the second light emitter and the board.
