Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention has seven weekday display parts: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday...Saturday, and the day of the week can be indicated by sequentially indicating only one of them. This invention relates to the display structure of a clock with day of the week display.

This type of timepiece with day display had a display section as shown in FIG. 1, for example.

This display section uses liquid crystal to display the time or calendar.

That is, above this display section, seven weekday displays 1 are displayed from the left side of the front: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, . . . Saturday.

Below this 7-day display 1, a day-of-day indicator 2 of the same type is provided for each day-of-day display, forming seven day-of-day display portions A.

The day of the week display section 2 is formed into a rectangular shape, as shown in FIG. .

The example in Figure 1 shows a state in which Monday is indicated, and if it indicates Tuesday, the day of the week indicator below the day of the week display section will be displayed, and if it indicates Wednesday, the day of the week indicator below the day of the week display water will be displayed. The indicator changes to black.

A time display section B is provided below the 7 day of the week display section A of the display section, and a digital time display 3 using segments is provided.

The time display 3 displays the minute-by-minute time, and in the example of FIG. 1, it indicates 12:45.

As described above, a day-of-day display timepiece having a 7-day-of-day display section has conventionally had a display section as shown in FIG. 1, for example.

Therefore, the day of the week display portion occupies most of the display space of the display section, and it has not necessarily been possible to say that the limited display space is effectively utilized.

This invention aims to provide a display structure for a watch with a day-of-day display that makes effective use of the seven-day-of-the-day display section and can perform not only the original day-of-day display function but also other display functions. That is.

Therefore, the gist of this invention is to have seven weekday display sections from Sunday to Saturday as described above, and to indicate the day of the week by sequentially indicating only one of them according to the day of the week. In a watch with a day of the week display, only one of the seven day of the week display parts is displayed on the other six day display parts.
In addition to providing a different form or position from the 7 day of the week display portions, these 7 day of the week display portions can be used to make each of the six normal day of the week display portions into one unit, in addition to the original day of the week display function. In addition, there is a display structure of a day-of-day display timepiece which can display numbers from 0 to 9 in a pattern using the specific day-of-day display portion of 1 as a unit of 5.

This invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the display section of the timepiece with day display according to this invention.

As in FIG. 1, the time or calendar is displayed on this display section.

These displays are performed using, for example, a liquid crystal as illustrated in FIG. 1, or using, for example, a light emitting diode.

Similarly to FIG. 1, above the display section there is a 7th day display section a, and below the 7th day display section a there is a time display section S.

Similarly, the 7 day of the week display portion a is composed of a day of the week display 11 that displays the seven days of the week from Sunday to Saturday, and a rectangular day of the week indicator 12 provided below each day of the week display 11.

Then, the day of the week instruction section 12 sequentially instructs only the corresponding day of the week display according to the day of the week to display the day of the week.

In the example in Figure 2, the color of the day of the week indicator below the day of the week changes,
It shows that it is Sunday.

In the conventional daytime display timepiece shown in FIG. 1, each daytime display section A is provided in the same form.

However, in the day-of-day display clock according to this invention, 7
Only one specific weekday display section of the weekday display sections is provided in a different form from the other six weekday display sections.

For example, as shown in Figure 2, only the day of the week indicator for the day of the week is made larger than the other six week of the week indicators, and only the day of the week indicator is made larger than the other six week of the week indicators from month to Saturday. It will take a different form.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is conceivable not only to change the shape of the first weekday display section, but also to change its position, for example, to make it different from the other six weekday display sections.

The seventh day of the week display portion of the display section can be used to perform other display functions, such as displaying patterns of numbers from 0 to 9, in addition to the original day of the week display function.

That is, each of the six normal weekday display sections described above is set as one unit, and the remaining one specific weekday display section is set as a unit of five, so that numbers from 0 to 9 can be displayed in a pattern on this seven day display section. do.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the day of the week display part of the day becomes the specific day of the week display part, and when no display appears in any of the day of the week indication parts 12,
Starting from the day of the month designation, numbers from 1 to 9 are displayed in the unit total of the display day designation section.

For example, when it is displayed as shown in Figure 3A, it means the number 3, and when it is displayed like a mouth, it means the number 5.

Furthermore, when it is displayed like C, the number 7 is displayed.

Other display functions are switched from the original day of the week display function using a known electric circuit and by operating a push-button or pull-type external operating member.

Other display functions include, for example, a stopwatch function.

The example in FIG. 2 shows a timepiece with a day-of-day display and a stopwatch function.

In a normal case, the day of the week is displayed in the 7-day display section a, and the time is displayed in the time display section 13.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it may indicate 1:14 on Sunday.

When it is switched, for example, by an external operating member, based on the stopwatch function, the tenth of a second is displayed in the seventh day display section a, and the required time is displayed in the time display.

For example, if the external operating member is operated and a display as shown in FIG. 2 is similarly made, the time is 1 minute 14 seconds 5.

When adding a stopwatch function, it is necessary to display down to 1/10th of a second.

Even if minutes and seconds are displayed using hour and minute display segments, a dedicated one-tenth second display segment must be provided in order to display one-tenth of a second.

However, adding an additional 1/10 second display segment to the limited display area not only complicates the display area, but also
The display itself also becomes very difficult to see.

Therefore, if the 1/10th second is displayed using the 7th day of the week display portion as shown in FIG. 2, there is no need to add an extra segment.

Therefore, according to this invention, the number 0 to 9 can be displayed in a pattern by using the 7th day of the week display part of a watch with a day of the week display, and other display functions can be performed in addition to the original day of the week display function. This makes it possible to obtain a watch with multiple functions and high commercial value.

Other display functions are performed using the conventional day of the week display section, so that the conventional time display section is not overloaded, making it easy to read visually.
