【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明は液晶又は発光ダイオード等で、デジタル表示さ
れるデジタル時計にかかり、特に、時、分、秒等の時間
要素間の表示部分に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a digital clock that is digitally displayed using a liquid crystal or a light emitting diode, and particularly relates to a display portion between time elements such as hours, minutes, seconds, etc.
従来、デジタル時計において、多数桁、例えば時、分、
秒を第１図に示す如く、同時に一例に表示するように成
ったものがある。Traditionally, digital watches have multiple digits, such as hours, minutes,
For example, there is a device that simultaneously displays seconds, as shown in FIG.
この場合、時−分及び分−秒の間のつなぎの部分は、図
に示す如くいずれもドツト「：」にて表示しているため
、表示が見ずらくなると合わせて、時１、分、秒の時”
′雪７″：−工Ｘ二；二−イオ。In this case, the transitions between hours and minutes and minutes and seconds are both displayed as dots (:) as shown in the figure, which makes the display difficult to read. Second time”
'Snow 7'': -Eng.
８．ユｇｏ＜□、切換スイッチを設け、第２図に示す如
く、通常は時−分の表示箱２医ａ参照を行っており、上
記切換スイッチを操作することにより、第２図すの様に
分−秒の表示を行うようにしたものがある。8. A changeover switch is provided, and as shown in Figure 2, normally the hour and minute display boxes 2 and a are referred to, and by operating the changeover switch, the display changes as shown in Figure 2. There are devices that display minutes and seconds.
この場合も、上述同様に時、分、秒の間のつなぎの部分
はいずれもドツト「＝」にて表示しているため時刻の表
示が見ずらくなるだけでなく、時として時、分、秒を見
誤まる虞れが生じる。In this case as well, as mentioned above, the parts between the hours, minutes, and seconds are all displayed as dots (=), which not only makes the time display difficult to read, but also makes it difficult to read the time. There is a risk of misreading the seconds.
そこで、本発明は上述の点に鑑み、時刻の表示を見易す
くしようとするものである。Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention aims to make the time display easier to see.
第３図は本発明による１つの実施例を示すもので、図に
示す如く、時−分の間を従来同様ドツト「＝」にて表示
し、分−秒の間をハイフン「−」にて表示する様にして
いる。FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in the figure, the hours and minutes are displayed with a dot "=" as in the past, and the minutes and seconds are indicated with a hyphen "-". I am trying to display it.
上述の様に、時−分の間をドツト「：」、分−秒の間を
ハイフン日にて表示するので、時−分、分−秒の間の見
分けが付き易すくなり、表示が見易すくなる。As mentioned above, the hours and minutes are displayed with a dot ":" and the minutes and seconds are displayed with a hyphen and the date, making it easier to distinguish between hours and minutes and minutes and seconds, making the display easier to read. It becomes easier.
要するに本発明は、各時間要素間、例えば、時−分、及
び分−秒間のつなぎの部分の表示が夫々異なるようにし
たものである。In short, in the present invention, the display of the transition portions between each time element, for example, between hours and minutes and between minutes and seconds, is made different.
尚、上述の実施例では、時、分、秒の各間をドツト「＝
」及びハイフン「−」にて表示する様になっているが、
これに限らず、時、分、秒の各間を夫々岩なる様に且つ
見分は易すいものであれば何でもよい。In the above embodiment, each hour, minute, and second is indicated by a dot "=".
” and a hyphen “-”.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any value may be used as long as the intervals between hours, minutes, and seconds are clearly defined and are easy to distinguish.
次に、第４図は時、分、秒の表示を切換スイッチを設け
て行う様にしたデジタル表示の腕時計の場合の実施例を
示すものである。Next, FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a digital display wristwatch in which the hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed using a changeover switch.
この実施例は通常第４図ａの如く時−分表示し、ており
、そのつなぎの部分をドツト「：」にて表示する。In this embodiment, hours and minutes are normally displayed as shown in FIG.
そこで、筆記切換スイッチにて分−秒を表示を行う際、
第４図すの如く分−秒の間をハイフン「−」にて表示す
る。Therefore, when displaying minutes and seconds with the writing switch,
As shown in Figure 4, the minutes and seconds are indicated by a hyphen "-".
この場合においても、時−分及び分−秒の間の表示を異
ならせるので時刻の表示が見易すくなると共に時、分、
秒見誤まる虞れもなくなる。In this case as well, the hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed differently, making the time display easier to read, and the hours, minutes, and seconds displayed differently.
There is no longer any risk of misreading the seconds.
尚、以上の実施例では、時、分、秒の表示を行うものに
ついて説明したが、月、日も表示するようにしたものに
おいても、各間のつなぎの部分は異なるように表示すれ
ばよい訳である。In the above embodiment, the hour, minute, and second are displayed, but even in a case where the month and day are also displayed, the connecting parts between them may be displayed differently. This is the translation.
一方、゛計算機付時計にあっては、表示体部分は数字が
多数桁−列に並んでおり、この表示体にて時刻を表示す
る場合、従来第５図及び第６図に示１す様に表示してい
る。On the other hand, in the case of a computer watch, the display part has a large number of digits lined up in rows, and when the time is displayed on this display part, conventionally the display part is as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. is displayed.
この場合においてもやはり表示は見易すいものでない。In this case as well, the display is not easy to read.
上記の欠点を除去すべく、本発明における実施例を第７
図に示している。In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the seventh embodiment of the present invention is
Shown in the figure.
該図に示す如く、時−分の間を従来同様、ドツト「：」
にて表示し、分−秒の間をハイフン「−」にて表示する
。As shown in the figure, between the hour and the minute, dot ":" is used as before.
The minutes and seconds are indicated by a hyphen "-".
ここで、分−秒の間のつなぎ部分を表示する／’ｓイフ
ン「−」は数字の表示を行うセグメントを利用するよう
にすれば、従来に比ベセグメントの数を少なくできる。Here, the number of segments can be reduced compared to the conventional method by using a segment that displays a number for the /'s ``-'' that displays the transition between minutes and seconds.
また表示も当然見易すくなる。以上説明した様に本発明
によれば、例えば、時、分、秒等の時間要素の各間をつ
なぐ表示を夫々異なるようにしたものであり、時、分、
秒の見分けが付き易すく、表示全体が見易すくなると共
に見語まり等の支障を起たすこともなく、デジタル時計
にとっては有効なものとなる。Naturally, the display is also easier to read. As explained above, according to the present invention, for example, the display connecting each time element such as hour, minute, second, etc. is made different.
This makes it easy to distinguish the seconds, makes the entire display easy to read, and does not cause problems such as misunderstandings, making it effective for digital watches.
