Abstract
Description
Leuchtdioden werden bereits seit langer Zeit zur Zeitanzeige in Uhren verwendet. Die Anzeigen der mit dieser Technik gebauten Uhren werden entweder aus dem Netz oder aus unhandlichen Batteriesätzen gespeist oder werden auf Knopfdruck oder durch Armbewegung nur für sehr kurze Zeit eingeschaltet. Es gibt auch Exemplare als Armanduhr, die durch Drehen des Armes in die Ablesestellung für kurze Zeit aktiviert werden.LEDs have been used for a long time for time display in watches. The displays of the watches built with this technique are either powered from the mains or unwieldy battery packs or are on Pushing a button or by arm movement only for a very short time. There are also copies as Armanduhr, by turning the arm in the reading position for short Time to be activated.
Alle diese Exemplare sind für einen Dauerbetrieb, das bedeutet für die ständige Anzeige der Uhrzeit z. B. als Armbanduhr oder Taschenuhr, nicht geeignet.All these copies are for a continuous operation, which means for the constant display of the time z. B. as a wristwatch or pocket watch, not suitable.
Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine autarke Uhr z. B. eine Armbanduhr oder Taschenuhr mit Leuchtdiodenanzeige zu erstellen, die ständig die Zeit anzeigt und mittels handelsüblichen Batterien oder Generatoren versorgt wird und damit Laufzeiten von mindestens einem Jahr und mehr erreicht werden.task the invention, it is a self-sufficient clock z. B. a wristwatch or Pocket watch with LED display to create that constantly the time indicating and by means of commercial Batteries or generators is supplied and thus runtimes of at least one year and more.

mit dem Most Significant Bit
Durch die Pulsbeleuchtung und relativ großen Pausen wird so viel Energie angespart, dass diese Uhr mit so wenig Energie auskommt, wie LCD- oder Schrittmotoruhren.By the pulse lighting and relatively long breaks will be so much energy saved, that this clock with as little energy gets along, as LCD or Stepper motor watches.

Weiterführung
der Erfindung kann entsprechend
Damit können entweder Sekunden, Minuten und Stunden gleichzeitig durch die verschiedenen Farben gezeigt werden oder über entsprechende Mischfarben durch Wahl der Pulsverhältnisse der drei Grundfarben erzeugt werden.In order to can either seconds, minutes and hours simultaneously through the different colors be shown or over appropriate mixed colors by choice of pulse ratios the three primary colors are generated.
Die Leuchtdioden können auch durch beliebige andere elektrisch ansteuerbare Leuchtmittel, die eine kurze Anstiegs- und Abfallzeit bei gleichzeitig hoher Lichtausbeute aufweisen ersetzt werden, wie z. B. Laserdioden als Kantenemitter oder Bauteile mit einer vertikalen Kavität (VCSELs) oder organische elektrisch ansteuerbare Leuchtdioden (OLEDs).The Light-emitting diodes can also by any other electrically controllable bulbs, a short rise and fall time with high light output be replaced, such as. B. laser diodes as edge emitter or components with a vertical cavity (VCSELs) or organic electrical controllable light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
Da die Lichtemission von Laserdioden und auch moderner Leuchtdioden in einem sehr schmalen Spektralbereich stattfindet, kann als Abdeckung der Leuchtmittel ein optisches Bandpassfilter mit einer sehr kleinen Bandbreite verwendet werden.There the light emission of laser diodes and modern light emitting diodes takes place in a very narrow spectral range, can be used as a cover of the Bulb an optical bandpass filter with a very small Bandwidth can be used.
Dadurch lässt sich der Kontrast der Anzeige auch bei sehr intensiver Umgebungsbeleuchtung noch wesentlich gegenüber den Tiefpassfiltern der üblichen LED-Uhren verbessern. Dies verbessert einerseits die Ablesemöglichkeit des Betrachters andererseits die Energiebildung der Uhren. Diese Methode ist auch anwendbar wenn mehrere Farben zum Einsatz kommen. Entweder durch Bandpassfilter mit mehreren Durchlassbereichen oder durch Belegung der jeweiligen Diode mit dem ihrer Farbe entsprechende Bandpassfilter.Thereby let yourself the contrast of the display even in very intense ambient lighting yet substantially opposite the low-pass filters of the usual Improve LED watches. On the one hand, this improves the ability of the viewer to read the energy of the clocks. This method is also applicable if several colors are used. Either through bandpass filter with multiple passbands or occupancy of the respective Diode with the bandpass filter corresponding to its color.
