Abstract

L'invention met en œuvre une horloge numérique incurvée et à caractéristiques de forme de maintien. Celle-ci inclut une coque (2, 2') comportant une fenêtre d'affichage. Dans la coque, on trouve un afficheur (1), une source d'énergie, une carte à circuit imprimé et une ligne d'alimentation. L'afficheur (1) est incurvé, la coque (2, 2') est également incurvée. La coque est raccordée à une structure définie à caractéristiques de forme de maintien. Du fait que l'afficheur (1) peut être incurvé librement, la zone d'affichage peut ne pas être limitée, l'heure peut donc être affichée avec une police plus grande et d'autres textes, informations ou images.
