Definitions

  • This invention involves the display of time. Specifically, it is a kind of time display method and its device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • the first method is by mechanical hands. This method is normally used in the time display device with mechanical mechanism, such as mechanical clocks and watches.
  • the other method uses digital display method. This method is normally used in the electronic time display devices, such as electronic clocks and watches.
  • the time display device While using the mechanical hands time display method, the time display device needs to set up the time dial and time hands which turn forward. It normally includes an hour hand and a minute hand to display time. While using the digital time display method, the time display device needs to set up a time display screen and display time through the change of the digit.
  • This invention addresses the technical issue of providing a kind of time display method, using a novel method to display time.
  • a time display method that uses the described time display method is novel, unique and fashionable.
  • the technical solution used in this invention to solve the technical issue is: to provide a kind of time display method. Its feature is to use dot matrix to display time. Multiple illuminated small digit display blocks are used to present one or more groups of large digit blocks in order to display the time. [8] In the described time display method of this invention, the described small digit indicate second, minute, hour, year, month or date. The described large digit indicate second, minute, hour, year, month or date. [9] In the described time display method of this invention, the described small digit display blocks illuminate in sequence. [10] In the described time display method of this invention, the described sequence is clockwise, counterclockwise, from left to right, from right to left , from up to down or from down to up.
  • the described time display method of this invention also includes the time display when setting up the time. While setting up the described large digit, the upper half, the lower half or the whole of the small digit display blocks that compose the large digit illuminate together.
  • the described dot matrix can be crystal dot matrix, 7-segment dot matrix, pattern dot matrix or LED dot matrix.
  • the technical solution used in this invention to solve the technical issue is: to build up a time display device, including a display screen and a circuit board. Its feature is that the described display screen is a dot matrix display screen, including multiple small digit display blocks for displaying the small digit and composing the large digit.
  • the described small digit displayed by the small digit display blocks indicate second, minute, hour, year, month or date.
