OUTLINE This fully electronic Ana-Digi watch has been developed rather ina short time to cope quickly with the present keen competition of the digital watches as well as expand the group of watches featuring a resonable price, The structure of this watch is based on the module of Cal. No. 8940 which is already on the market, having an analog dispay with center sec- ‘ond by an LCD plusa digital display of 6 digits. §2. FEATURES 1) A fully electronic watch that contains both the analog and digital display functions. The analog part shows constantly the home time of the wearer by the hour, minute and second hands with the 1-second step movement. The digital part has a display function with 6 digits plus 10 marks for the calendar, local time, alarm, stopwatch, timer and chime respectively. 2) Asswitching is possible between the 12-hour and 24-hour displays in the mode of the local ti 2. 3) The analog display is carried out by the block-split multiplex driving, and the digital display is carried out by the 3-split multiplex driving respectively. Even in the multidisplay mechanism of the digital part, the connection is simplified between the LC display panel and the plate complete.83.

BLOCK-SPLIT MULTIPLEX DRIVING SYSTEM © Block-split multiplex driving system The block-split multiplex driving system (hereafter called “block-split system”) is adapted newly to Cal. No, 9560 as an analog display system. This block-split system is detailed as follows. ‘Sacond Minose Hour ‘As shown in the above diagram, the center, intermediate and outer circumference circle zones are used for display of “hour”, “minute” and “second” respectively. In other words, the following formulas are defined for each display. "Minute" = "Hour" + "Minute" *"'Hour"” = Hour’ *"’Second” = ""Hour”” + "Minute" + ‘sene) ‘At the same time, the analog display part is divided into 6 equal portions as shown by the dotted lines in the above diagram. And 10 pieces of display segments (equivalent to analog hour, minute and second hands each) are included into each range of 60°. One of the 10 segments in each of the 6 equally divided portions is connected to each other. (Ex.). As illustrated right, the segments equivalent to 1 1 (sec.), 4 (sec.), 21 (see.), 24 (sec.), 41 (sec.) and 44 (sec.) each are connected mutually into 2 piece of line, 4 Accordingly, the 28 pieces (= 3 x 6 + 10) of output terminals are obtained. In this case, th figure 3 means “hour”, minute’ and second’ 6 means “6 divided portions”; and 10 is the number of segments respectively. 44 4a fat 24 In the actual case of Cal. No. 9560, the “second'” and ‘minute’ are regarded as one element. Asa result, the number of output terminals counts 22 pieces (= 2 x 6 + 10).C956* ) ‘© LC driving voltage of Cal. No. 9560 ‘The LC driving voltage of Cal. No. 9560 is set at 4.5V (3V for other ordinary calibers) in order to secure a high contrast between the ON and OFF of the LC display. Thus an easy-to-see display can be obtained, The above reasons is detailed as follows, The LC display panel is turned ON at a certain level of voltage Von (effective voltage) and OFF at a cer- tain level of voltage Vorr (effective voltage) respec- tively. (Fig. 1) Vor vin Von ‘Seeing caability Ettectve voltage ia) This Von /Vorr ratio is expressed by ¥yOM = working margin contrast ratio), Thus the large the working margin the higher the contrast of LC (liquid crystal) becomes, Then the higher the driving voltage the higher the contrast of LC display in case the working margin is constant. This is due to the fact that the higher the driving voltage the more suddenly Vor changes to Von - In this connection, as mentioned first, the voltage is increased up to 4.5V to secure a sufficient ratio between Vow and Vorr and thus obtain a higher contrast of LC display.(956%) §5.
