Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a digital display comprising an arrangement of electrodes. More particularly, the present invention relates to the digital display of a date indication in a timepiece comprising an arrangement of electrodes.
  • the display of the date is most often made by means of a disc, called the date disc, on which the date indications are shown and which is driven by the movement of the timepiece.
  • the date indications typically appear through an aperture in the dial of the watch.
  • a rotating disc on which the 31 dates are printed
  • the date indications which are between 1 and 31 are successively displayed by means of two juxtaposed groups of seven segments which are commonly called seven-segment digits.
  • each of the three digits comprises two upper and lower vertical electrodes which extend at an equal distance from the upper left and right side electrodes, respectively from the lower left and right side electrodes.
  • each of the three digits comprises segments which extend obliquely, that is to say not contiguous with the upper and lower right side electrodes.
  • the document DE 32 14 174 A1 discloses a display with two juxtaposed digits separated from one another by display segments each formed of two points and arranged one above the other respectively at the height of the upper, middle and lower electrodes of each of the digits.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above as well as others still by providing a new display comprising an arrangement of electrodes making it possible, in particular, to obtain a centered display of a single-digit number. .
  • the present invention relates to a display with two juxtaposed digits comprising an arrangement of electrodes according to claim 1 appended to the present patent application.
  • the arrangement of electrodes according to the invention also makes it possible to display certain letters such as the letter “M” which is useful for displaying the indications “AM” and “PM” when adjusting the temperature. a alarm or initial time and date setting.
  • the left digit also allows the display of the letter “Y” useful for the initial setting of the year in the case of a perpetual calendar function.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in rethinking the arrangement of the electrodes included in a display with two juxtaposed digits making it possible, on the one hand, to display the numbers formed of a single digit from 0 to 9 in a centered manner. compared to these two groups of electrodes, and on the other hand to display the figures in a more realistic and attractive way.
  • This result is achieved by virtue of the fact that the proposed arrangement of electrodes is asymmetrical, the left digit not having the same arrangement as the right digit.
  • the present invention goes against the common sense that the two digits must have the same structure since they are used to each display the same digits.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a display comprising an arrangement of electrodes according to the prior art for a display formed of two juxtaposed groups of electrodes, these two groups of electrodes being commonly called digits.
  • the left digit designated as a whole by the general numerical reference 1
  • the right digit denoted as a whole by the general numerical reference 2
  • each of the two digits on the left 1 and on the right 2 comprises an upper electrode 4a, 4b, a middle electrode 6a, 6b and a lower electrode 8a, 8b, the middle electrode 6a, 6b extending between the electrode upper 4a, 4b and lower electrode 8a, 8b.
  • the left and right digits 1, 2 also include an upper left side electrode 10a, 10 b and a lower left side electrode 12a, 12b, as well as an upper right side electrode 14a, 14b and a lower right side electrode 16a, 16b.
  • the display comprising an arrangement of electrodes according to the prior art discussed above allows any number between 0 and 99 to be displayed by activating the appropriate electrode combinations.
  • Such an arrangement of electrodes is, however, considered by many users to be somewhat outdated and unattractive.
  • you want to display only one digit between 0 and 9 only one of the two digits is activated, usually the right digit.
  • the display of the single digit is thus off-center with respect to the group of two digits, which is unsatisfactory in particular in the case where this display appears through a window 18 provided for example in a watch dial for the indication. of today's date or other.
  • the present invention teaches a new arrangement of electrodes included in a display formed of two juxtaposed groups of electrodes, these two groups of electrodes being commonly called digits. It is observed that only the left digit, designated as a whole by the general reference numeral 20, is substantially modified with respect to the prior art, while the digit of straight line, designated as a whole by the general reference numeral 22, retains a structure quite similar to that of a conventional 7-segment digit as described above in connection with the prior art.
  • the upper electrode 24, the middle electrode 26 and the lower electrode 28 are each formed of a first and a second point-shaped electrodes 24a, 24b, 26a, 26b and respectively. 28a, 28b.
  • a first additional electrode 34 is provided between the upper left side electrode 30a and the upper right side electrode 30b.
  • the first additional electrode 34 is adjacent to the upper right side electrode 30b.
  • a second additional electrode 35 is provided between the lower left side electrode 32a and the lower right side electrode 32b.
  • the second additional electrode 35 is adjacent to the lower right side electrode 32b. This arrangement of electrodes is particularly useful for displaying the letter "Y" which is needed for the initial setting of the year in the case of a perpetual calendar function.
  • the right digit 22 comprises an upper electrode 36, a middle electrode 38 and a lower electrode 40, the middle electrode 38 extending between the upper electrode 36 and the lower electrode 40.
  • the electrode upper 36, middle electrode 38 and lower electrode 40 extend horizontally and at a distance from each other.
  • the right digit 22 also includes an upper left side electrode 42a and a lower left side electrode 44a, as well as an upper right side electrode 42b and a lower right side electrode 44b.
  • the upper left side electrode 42a and the lower left side electrode 44a, respectively the upper right side electrode 42b and the lower right side electrode 44b extend vertically in the extension of one another.
  • An additional electrode 46 is provided between the upper left side electrode 42a and the upper right side electrode 42b of the right digit 22, equidistant from these two electrodes 42a, 42b.
  • This additional electrode 46 is used in particular to display the letter “M” which is useful in particular for displaying the indications “AM” and “PM” during the setting of an alarm or the initial setting of the time and date. .
  • three single point-shaped electrodes 50a, 50b and 50c are arranged one above the other between the left digit 20 and the right digit 22, respectively at height of the upper electrode 36, of the middle electrode 38 and of the lower electrode 40 of the right digit 22.
  • point-shaped electrodes designated by the references a to l are provided in each of the left 20 and right 22 digits, respectively at the intersection between each of the upper electrodes 24, 36. , middle 26, 38 and lower 28, 40 and each of the upper left side electrodes 30a, 42a, lower left side 32a, 44a, upper right side 30b, 42b and lower right side 32b, 44b.
  • four indicators 52 for example of triangular shape provided on the left and on the right make it possible to point outwards from the left 20 and right 22 digits of the indications shown on the dial around the window 48.
  • These four indicators 52 are respectively associated. the upper left side electrode 42a and the lower left side electrode 44a of the left digit 22, as well as the upper right side electrode 42b and the lower right side electrode 44b of the right digit 22.
  • This makes it possible to add a large number of additional functions such as setting and displaying the state of the alarm, the indicators 52 then pointing, for example, to “ON” and “OFF” markings on the dial.
  • these indicators 52 can be displayed with the corresponding side electrode.
  • the display according to the invention therefore comprises a total of 39 segments. This is more than two digits with 7 segments each, but it is significantly less than a matrix display, which makes it possible to continue to use a non-multiplexed type addressing technology which offers advantages in terms of contrast. display and cost of production.
  • the shaded figure 2 the electrodes that must be activated to display the number 4.
