Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は電子時計、特にディジタル式電子時計の表示部
に関する。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic timepiece, and more particularly to a display section of a digital electronic timepiece.

従来、液晶を表示素子として用いるようなディジタル式
電子時計に於ては、第1図に示すように各セグメントは
形状はともあれ夫々単独のセグメントとして構成されて
おり、従ってひとつのディジットでは1字しか表示でき
ず、このために月、曜、日、時、分、秒さらには年とい
ったように一時に多数の同時表示をするには、表示部の
面積が非常に大きくなってしまい、本来の小型、軽量化
という目的を外れてしまうという欠点があった。
Conventionally, in digital electronic watches that use liquid crystal as a display element, each segment is configured as an individual segment, regardless of its shape, as shown in Figure 1, so one digit can only contain one character. Because of this, the area of the display becomes extremely large in order to display many things at once, such as the month, day of the week, day, hour, minute, second, and even year. However, this method had the disadvantage of defeating the purpose of reducing weight.

これをさげる為に現在では通常は時刻表示をなし、スイ

ィジタル式電子時計を提供しようというものである。
In order to reduce this problem, at present, the time is usually displayed, and the month, date, etc. are displayed by turning the switch on and off. However, this method is troublesome as you have to operate a switch each time you want to know the date, month, etc. The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a digital electronic timepiece that uses a display panel that is approximately the same size as the conventional one and allows the entire display to be read by operating the switches and viewing angle. .

本発明を図によって説明すると、第2図は本発明による
ディジツト及び各セグメントの構成の一実施例であり、
a,a′,〜,g,gは各々セグメントを示す。
To explain the present invention using figures, FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of digits and each segment according to the present invention.
a, a', ~, g, g each indicate a segment.

ここで注目すべきことは、セグメントa,〜,gとセグ
メントa′〜gは互いに対になるようにくし形状に形成
されるとともに、各セグメントa,a′,〜g,gは夫
々単独に駆動されることである。
What should be noted here is that segments a, ~, g and segments a'~g are formed in a comb shape so as to be paired with each other, and each segment a, a', ~g, g is independent. To be driven.

又、〈し形状の各セグメントのピッチは一定となるよう
に機成されている。第3図は前記構成による表示パネル
の上部に取り付けるべきガラスの本発明による一実施例
であり、aは正面図、bは側面図、cは底面図を示す。
Further, the pitch of each segment of the square shape is set to be constant. FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the glass to be attached to the upper part of the display panel having the above structure according to the present invention, in which a shows a front view, b shows a side view, and c shows a bottom view.

ここでガラス面上の波形は各セグメントのピッチと一致
するように構成されている。
Here, the waveform on the glass surface is configured to match the pitch of each segment.

さて、該ガラス板を本発明による表示パネル上に重ねる
と、置きかたによって第3図のA方向から見た場合には
a,b,c,d,e,fの各セグメントのみが、またB
方向から見た場合にはa′,b′,c′,e′,f′,
gの各セグメントのみが見えるように構成することがで
きる。
Now, when the glass plate is stacked on the display panel according to the present invention, depending on how it is placed, only the segments a, b, c, d, e, and f can be seen from the direction A in FIG. B
When viewed from the direction, a', b', c', e', f',
It can be configured such that only each segment of g is visible.

従って、a,〜gのセグメントで時刻表示をa′,〜,
g′のセグメントで月日等の表示をすることにより、通
常時計を見る方向Aでは第4図aに示すように常に時刻
を読みとることができ、手首を回してB方向から見るこ
とにより第4図bに示すように月日等を読みとることが
出来、スイッチの切換操作なく非常に簡便な電子時計を
提供することが可能である。
Therefore, the time display in segments a, ~g is a', ~,
By displaying the month, date, etc. in the g' segment, the time can be read at all times in the normal direction of viewing the watch, A, as shown in Figure 4 a. As shown in FIG. b, it is possible to provide a very simple electronic timepiece that can read the month, date, etc. without the need for switching operations.

またガラスの他にアクリル等の透明物が使用可能である
ことはいうまでもない。
It goes without saying that other than glass, transparent materials such as acrylic can also be used.
