Abstract

PURPOSE:To enlarge the expression range of an analogue display part, by providing a display element having an electrooptically changeable pattern to the periphery of a hand display part. CONSTITUTION:When function as 24hr system display is imparted to an alarm pattern 2 around a hand display part 1, the pattern 2 wherein a display time T is within a range of 0hr<=T<12hr is displayed. In the next step, when the display time T is within a range of 12hr<=T<24hr, the pattern 2 is electrooptically changed over in cooperated relation to hand display. As mentioned above, by bringing the pattern to an electrooptically changeable display element, the expression range of an analogue display part is enlarged and an electronic timpiece excellent in functional site including a design can be provided.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は電子時計の表示部に関するものである。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a display section of an electronic timepiece.

従来の針表示部を有する電子時計においては、針表示部
周囲の読み取り目安体が金属片のカシメ又は印刷等の手

でもすぐれた電子時計を提供できる。The present invention is aimed at solving the above drawbacks, and is characterized in that a display element having an electro-optically switchable pattern is provided around the hand display section, and the pattern is used as a reading guide for the analog display section. This makes it possible to create expressions that can only be obtained by switching patterns, and provides an electronic timepiece with excellent functionality.

以下、図面に従って説明する。The explanation will be given below according to the drawings.

This makes it possible to identify the display mode without displaying a special mode symbol. FIG. 4 shows a state in which all of the reference patterns 12 and 12' in FIG. A variety of designs are possible by storing the reference pattern (not displayed) in the annular cell 5 and changing the color tone and surface treatment of the hands 6, the dial 4, and the annular cell 50.

Fig. 5 shows the display of the guide pattern 22 in the stopwatch mode, and the values of seconds and minutes of the elapsed time can be directly read by the clockwise sexagesimal indicator and the turn display. The figure shows the display of standard pattern 22 when the mode of the electronic watch shown in Figure 5 is switched to timer mode, and the seconds and minutes of the remaining time are displayed counterclockwise in sexagesimal system. It can be read directly by
