Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, because the original electronic watch uses a black and white liquid crystal display device to display text, graphics, etc., the change of composition is monotonous, not only lacks decoration, but also has poor visibility (recognition).
Using a color liquid crystal display device to display text and graphics in color can improve decoration and visibility (recognizability), but the price of a color liquid crystal display device is high, which not only increases the cost of the electronic watch, but also increases power consumption. , the problem of shortened battery life

Abstract

Display device and electronic watch with the display device. A display apparatus is provided with a display member which is printed in gradations of color from a first color to a second color from one side of the member to other side, and an electro-optical display device having plural dot display sections disposed on the display member. The plural dot display sections are selectively driven, to display characters, images, etc. in gradations of color. The display apparatus which is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost advantages to improve image and / or character discrimination and is used for an adornment purpose.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a display device and an electronic watch for gradually displaying characters and graphics. Background technique [0002] As described in JP-A-8-220263 and JP-A-57-101788, in order to improve the decoration and visibility (visibility) of electronic watches, it has been considered to use a dot array display device to dynamically display text and graphics etc. [0003] However, since the conventional electronic watches use black and white liquid crystal display devices to display characters, graphics, etc., the changes in the composition are monotonous, not only lacking in decoration, but also poor in visibility (recognition). Using a color liquid crystal display device to display text and graphics in color can improve decoration and visibility (recognizability), but the price of a color liquid crystal display device is high, which not only raises the cost of the electronic watch, but also increases power consumption. , The prob...
