Definitions

the surface serving for the display is designed as a square field standing on top and is provided with 16 lighting elements, with twelve lighting elements on the outer part and four light elements on the inner part each being arranged symmetrically are.
Another embodiment of the invention is that the twelve lighting elements, the four lighting elements and the additional lighting element can be different in shape, color and size.
the time is shown in FIG. 1 by using a square field 1 standing on the top as a display area and arrangement of 12 symmetrically distributed lighting elements 4 in the outer part 2 and four symmetrically distributed lighting elements 5 in the inner part 3 by lighting up one or two lighting elements 4 of the outer Part 2 and optionally one to four light elements 5 of the inner part 3 are displayed, the light elements 4, 5 lighting up in different colors depending on the hour and minute display (for example green for the hours and red for the minutes).
Fig. 1 four (4), 6, 6 are particularly marked (radiating), which, when illuminated, indicate the time 1:00 p.m. and 11 minutes, for example the hours in green and the minutes in red, and the broad half of the day in red can be displayed.
a quartz stabilized oscillator 7 is provided, which e.g. generates a frequency of 32 kHz.
8 denotes a frequency divider, by means of which the oscillator frequency is divided down to 1 Hz in order to control a first counter 9.
This counter 9 controls the lighting elements 5 for the minute display 1 to 4 every 60 seconds via a decoder 10.
the electric clock according to the invention can be used for all types of clocks, for example as a standing, table, wall or arm-worn clock.
