【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
ッチの切襖操作により月日等を表示せしめるよう構成し
ている。しかしこの方法では月日等を知りたい場合にそ
の都度スイッチを操作せねばならないというわずらわし
さがあった。本発明は、前記の欠点を解消し、従来とほ
ぼ同じ大きさの表示パネルにより、スイッチの操作ない
こ、見る角度によって全表示を読みとることの可能なデ
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.
