Abstract

The method involves using a visual symbol to represent each decimal figure (0-9) in a single or multi-digit number, e.g by illuminating selected LEDs in rows representing hours, minutes, seconds or days, months, years. The method may take account of decimal placing of the numbers. USE - E.g. for electronic clock with LED display, or watch.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Zur optischen Darstellung technischer Größen bedient man sich üblicherweise zweier grundsätzlich verschiedener Ver­ fahren, - nämlich der "analogen" und "digi­ talen" Anzeigetechnik. In jüngster Zeit kommen auch grafische Darstellungen zum Einsatz.For the visual representation of technical Sizes are usually used two fundamentally different ver drive, namely the "analog" and "digi talen "display technology. Recently graphic representations are also used Commitment.

Stellvertretend für analoge Ausführungs­ formen seien Zeiger- und Balkeninstru­ mente genannt. Digitalanzeigen und gra­ fische Display′s bringen Zahlen zur An­ zeige.Representing analog execution shapes are pointer and bar instructions called ment. Digital displays and gra fish displays bring numbers to bear show.

Kritik des Standes der TechnikCritique of the state of the art

Außer den o.a. Darstellungsprinzipien sind keine weiteren bekannt. Auch Misch­ formen daraus existieren nicht.In addition to the above Presentation principles no others are known. Also mixed forms from it do not exist.

Problemproblem

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine neue Darstellungsform zu entwickeln, die u. a. auch für die Anzeige von Uhrzeit und Datum geeignet ist. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine elektronische Schaltung ent­ wickelt, die als quarzgesteuerte Zeituhr mit Weckeinrichtung und Datumspeicher funktioniert, und an deren Ausgang eine LED-Leuchtmatrix angeschlossen ist. Die Bedienung der Schaltung erfolgt über Setz­ tasten. The invention is based on the problem to develop a new form of presentation, the u. a. also for displaying the time and date is appropriate. To this end was an electronic circuit ent which winds as a quartz-controlled timer with alarm clock and date memory works, and at the exit one LED light matrix is connected. The The circuit is operated via Setz Keys.
