A display assembly includes an LCD that is transparent and has a viewing area and a blocked area which are reconfigurable. The display assembly includes a self-emissive display that is also transparent and extends along and in front of the LCD. A graphics processing unit is coupled with and controls the LCD and the self-emissive display. The LCD is controlled to allow light through the viewing area and the blocked area while the self-emissive display is off in a full analog mode. The LCD is controlled to block light through the viewing area and the blocked area while the self-emissive display is controlled to display an image in a full digital mode. Additionally, the LCD is controlled to allow light through the viewing area and block light through the blocked area while the self-emissive display is controlled to display an image in a hybrid mode.

An instrument cluster for a motor vehicle includes a dial surface having a plurality of indicia located thereon. A pointer contacts the dial surface and is configured to rotate with respect to the dial surface. Piezoelectric material is disposed on one of the dial surface and the pointer. The piezoelectric material is configured to deform due to contact between the pointer and the dial surface.
