This figure shows a circuit for displaying three digits, which includes a power supply 20, a power supply circuit 21, first, second, and third digit drive circuits 22, 23, 24 for driving digits, and a voice. It is composed of a generation circuit 25. In addition, 11 is a liquid crystal display element, 12 is a button switch for driving ON and OFF, 13
Is a switch for changing the display digit, and is used for the second and third digit drive circuits 2
The power of 3, 24 can be turned on and off.

The respective digit drive circuits 22, 23, 24 have the same structure, and include an oscillation circuit 26, a counter circuit 27, and
The driver circuit 28 and the driver circuit 28 drive one digit of the liquid crystal display element 11, respectively. Further, in the oscillator circuit 26 of each digit drive circuit 22, 23, 24, the resistor R ₂ and the capacitor C ₂ are adjusted so that pulses can be generated at different periods.

Further, the power supply circuit 21 is driven by the capacitor C _{1 for a} fixed time even after the power supply is turned off.
4 can be supplied with power. The resistor R ₁ is a resistor for stabilizing oscillation. Further, the sound generation circuit 25 detects a pulse from the oscillation circuit 26 of the first digit drive circuit 22 and causes the speaker 15 to generate sound at the H level via the transistor 29. While the pulse is being generated, a restart is applied when the next pulse is input as shown in FIG. 3, and a one-shot voice is generated when the pulse is completed.

The operation of this embodiment thus constructed will be described below. In FIG. 2, the changeover switch 13 is turned off.
