Display elements for hour indication on clock are arranged with those elements needed to indicate individual hours from one to six in common visually bounded group, and other elements arranged to indicate time in steps of six hours

摘要

The total number of display elements is arranged so that the elements required to indicate the individual hours, from 1 to 6, belong to a common visually bounded group, and other visually bounded display elements are provided to indicate the time with additional numbers in steps of 6 hours. The arrangement has active display elements distinguishable by optical properties in contrast with the passive display elements, e.g. illumination, a change in intensity or a color change. The display elements indicate the current hour by the number of active elements or the resulting shape of the active elements with distinguishable regions such as corner points, lines or light concentration. The total number of display elements is arranged so that the elements required to indicate the individual hours, from 1 to 6, belong to a common visually bounded group, and other visually bounded display elements are provided to indicate the time with additional numbers in steps of 6 hours.
