Definitions
- the present patent application relates to a watch and clock, and more particularly to a multicolored LCD watch and clock that combines functions of decorating, illuminating / reflecting and timing.
- the present patent application is designed to address the current technology's limitation of the above-mentioned watch and clock's unitary displaying method, providing a multicolored LCD watch and clock that combines the functions of decorating and timing.
- the multicolored LCD watch and clock comprises a top shell, a bottom shell, a drive circuit and a LCD which is located on the said top shell and is connected to the said drive circuit, characterized in that there is a reflecting module under the said LCD, wherein multiple reflectors corresponding with the said LCD are arranged on the said reflecting module.
- the said reflector includes reflecting polyhedrons which are made of diamond, crystal, glass, plastic, metal and the like.
- a PCB is arranged between the said top shell and the said bottom shell, wherein the said drive circuit locates on the said PCB.
- the multicolored LCD watch and clock can achieve following advantageous effects: by placing materials such as diamond, crystal, glass, plastic, metal and their analogs under the LCD, when the LCD needs to be illuminated and the displaying segments turn to be transparent, these illuminable or reflecting polyhedrons will reflect lights in various colors, thus increase the watch and clock's viewing and admiring performance.
- Figure IA is the structural diagram of the multicolored LCD watch/clock
- Figure IB is the sectional view of the multicolored LCD watch/clock
- FIG. 12 is the structural diagram of the LCD of the multicolored LCD watch/clock
- Figure 3 is the structural diagram of the reflecting module of the multicolored LCD watch/clock.
- FIG. 1A and IB show the multicolored LCD watch/clock according to the present patent application. It comprises a top shell 1, a bottom shell 2, a PCB 3 and a LCD 4 which locates on the shell 1, the top shell 1 and the bottom shell 2 is integrated by a clip lock.
- PCB 3 locates between the top shell 1 and the bottom shell.
- a driving unit on the PCB 3 is connected to the LCD 4 in order to control the LCD 4.
- the Battery 6 which provides power supply to the driving unit connects to PCB 3.
- a reflecting module 5 locates under the LCD 4.
- a reflector corresponding with the above-mentioned LCD 4 locates on the reflecting module 5.
- the above-mentioned reflector includes the illuminable polyhedrons made by materials such as diamond, crystal, glass, plastic, metal and their analogs.
- these illuminable or reflecting polyhedrons will reflect lights in various colors, thus increase the watch and clock's viewing and admiring performance.
- FIG. 2 shows the structural diagram of the LCD 4 of the multicolored LCD watch/clock according to the present patent application.
- multiple displaying segments form a "18.88" pattern. It should be noted that this is only an example of the present patent application, and these multiple displaying segments can form other patterns.
- place illuminable polyhedrons under the displaying segments so that the illuminable polyhedrons will reflect the lights from the illuminated displaying segments when the driving unit controls the numeral digits corresponding with the displaying segments of the LCD thus to illuminate lights in various colors.
- each display segment is connected to the drive circuit via a communication interface by serial, parallel and independent means. Controlled by the drive circuit, the LCD 4 will display the corresponding time.
- FIG. 1 shows the structural diagram of the reflecting module 5 of the multicolored
- the multiple illuminable polyhedrons attached on the reflecting module 5 also form the corresponding patterns.
- These reflecting polyhedrons might be made by materials such as diamond, crystal, glass, plastic, metal and their analogs.
- these illuminable polyhedrons will reflect lights from the transparent displaying segments. Then, depend on which illuminable polyhedron material is adopted, illuminate lights in different colors.
