Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of displays, and in particular to a pen segment display pattern with different brightnesses and a pen segment display screen. Background Art

[0002] A pen segment display screen, also often referred to as a pen segment liquid crystal display screen or a pen segment LCD, is a special type of liquid crystal display screen and is widely used in various electronic devices that require the display of numbers, letters, or simple graphics. The pen segment display screen is composed of multiple independent pen segments (i.e., liquid crystal bars), and each pen segment can be independently controlled to display or turn off, so as to be combined into numbers, letters, or simple graphics. This display screen has the characteristics of low power consumption, clear display, simple structure, etc., and is very suitable for occasions that require accurate display of numbers and characters, and is widely used in various electronic devices such as timers, clocks, electronic scales, price meters, thermometers, hygrometers, medical devices, and industrial instruments.

[0003] However, at present, there are only two display states for the pen segment display pattern in the pen segment display screen, that is, the fully bright state when it needs to be displayed and the fully dark state when it does not need to be displayed. If the pen segment display pattern presents different brightnesses, a driving chip with a gray scale driving function needs to be used to drive it, but such a driving chip will increase the cost of the pen segment display screen. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a pen segment display pattern with different display brightnesses.

[0005] The utility model also provides a pen segment display screen including the above-mentioned pen segment display pattern.

[0006] The technical problems to be solved by the utility model are realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A pen segment display pattern with different brightnesses includes a first display pattern and a second display pattern that can be independently driven to be lit.

[0008] The first display pattern includes a plurality of first circular ring pen segments that can be simultaneously driven to be lit, and the second display pattern includes a plurality of second circular ring pen segments that can be simultaneously driven to be lit.

[0009] Each of the first circular ring pen segments and each of the second circular ring pen segments are concentrically arranged, and each of the first circular ring pen segments and each of the second circular ring pen segments are sequentially arranged at intervals from the inside to the outside.

[0010] Further, the first display pattern further includes a first connecting pen segment that simultaneously connects each of the first circular ring pen segments.

[0011] Furthermore, each first circular pen segment is provided with a notch on the same side, and the first connecting pen segment is disposed within the notch of each first circular pen segment.

[0012] Furthermore, the second display pattern further includes a second connecting pen segment, and the first connecting pen segment simultaneously connects each second circular pen segment.

[0013] Furthermore, each second circular pen segment is provided with a notch on the same side, and the second connecting pen segment is disposed within the notch of each second circular pen segment.

[0014] Furthermore, the notches of each first circular pen segment and the notches of each second circular pen segment are located on the same side.

[0015] Furthermore, there is a gap between adjacent first circular pen segments and second circular pen segments.

[0016] Furthermore, the innermost circular pen segment is the second circular pen segment. If the first display pattern further includes a circular pen segment, then the first display pattern further includes a circular pen segment that can be simultaneously driven and lit with each first circular pen segment, and the circular pen segment is located at the center of each first circular pen segment.

[0017] Furthermore, the innermost circular pen segment is the first circular pen segment. The second display pattern further includes a circular pen segment that can be simultaneously driven and lit with each second circular pen segment, and the circular pen segment is located at the center of each second circular pen segment.

[0018] A pen segment display screen includes a first driving line, a second driving line, a first driving pin, a second driving pin, and the above-mentioned pen segment display pattern. One end of the first driving line is connected to the first display pattern, and the other end of the first driving line is connected to the first driving pin; one end of the second driving line is connected to the second display pattern, and the other end of the second driving line is connected to the second driving pin.

[0019] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: The pen segment display pattern of the utility model is composed of a plurality of first circular pen segments and a plurality of second circular pen segments arranged concentrically. All the first circular pen segments are connected by the same driving line to realize the simultaneous driving and lighting of all the first circular pen segments. All the second circular pen segments are connected by another driving line to realize the simultaneous driving and lighting of all the second circular pen segments. Since each of the first circular pen segments and each of the second circular pen segments are arranged at intervals in sequence from the inside to the outside, when all the first circular pen segments or all the second circular pen segments are driven and lit, the pen segment display pattern presents a semi-bright state with a display brightness of 50%. When all the first circular pen segments and all the second circular pen segments are driven and lit, the pen segment display pattern presents a full-bright state with a display brightness of 100%. When all the first circular pen segments and all the second circular pen segments are driven to go out, the pen segment display pattern presents a full-dark state, realizing two display brightness levels of semi-bright and full-bright.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As Figures 1-3 shown, a pen segment display pattern with different brightnesses includes a first display pattern 10 and a second display pattern 20 that can be independently driven to light up;

[0030] The first display pattern 10 includes a plurality of first circular ring pen segments 11 that can be driven to light up simultaneously, and the second display pattern 20 includes a plurality of second circular ring pen segments 21 that can be driven to light up simultaneously;

[0031] Each of the first circular ring pen segments 11 and each of the second circular ring pen segments 21 are concentrically arranged, and each of the first circular ring pen segments 11 and each of the second circular ring pen segments 21 are sequentially spaced from the inside to the outside.

[0032] The pen segment display pattern of the present utility model is composed of a plurality of first circular ring pen segments 11 and a plurality of second circular ring pen segments 21 arranged concentrically. All the first circular ring pen segments 11 are connected by the same driving line to achieve simultaneous driving and lighting of all the first circular ring pen segments 11. All the second circular ring pen segments 21 are connected by another driving line to achieve simultaneous driving and lighting of all the second circular ring pen segments 21. Since each of the first circular ring pen segments 11 and each of the second circular ring pen segments 21 are arranged at intervals in sequence from the inside out, when all the first circular ring pen segments 11 or all the second circular ring pen segments 21 are driven and lit, the pen segment display pattern presents a semi-bright state with a display brightness of 50%. When all the first circular ring pen segments 11 and all the second circular ring pen segments 21 are driven and lit, the pen segment display pattern presents a full-bright state with a display brightness of 100%. When all the first circular ring pen segments 11 and all the second circular ring pen segments 21 are driven to go out, the pen segment display pattern presents a full-dark state, realizing two display brightness levels of semi-bright and full-bright.

[0033] Preferably, the first display pattern 10 further includes a first connecting pen segment 12, and the first connecting pen segment 12 connects each of the first circular ring pen segments 11 at the same time; the second display pattern 20 further includes a second connecting pen segment 22, and the first connecting pen segment 12 connects each of the second circular ring pen segments 21 at the same time.

[0034] The pen segment display pattern of the present utility model connects all the first circular ring pen segments 11 and all the second circular ring pen segments 21 together through the first connecting pen segment 12 and the second connecting pen segment 22 respectively. The driving line corresponding to the first display pattern 10 only needs to be connected to the first connecting pen segment 12 to simultaneously drive and light the first connecting pen segment 12 and all the first circular ring pen segments 11, simplifying the connection structure of the driving line; similarly, the driving line corresponding to the second display pattern 20 only needs to be connected to the second connecting pen segment 22 to simultaneously drive and light the second connecting pen segment 22 and all the second circular ring pen segments 21, simplifying the connection structure of the driving line.

[0035] Preferably, each of the first circular ring pen segments 11 is provided with a notch on the same side, and the first connecting pen segment 12 is arranged in the notch of each of the first circular ring pen segments 11; each of the second circular ring pen segments 21 is provided with a notch on the same side, and the second connecting pen segment 22 is arranged in the notch of each of the second circular ring pen segments 21.

[0036] The pen segment display pattern of the present utility model sets the notches on the same side of each first circular ring pen segment 11 to accommodate the first connecting pen segment 12, so that the first connecting pen segment 12 can adopt a same-layer layout design when connecting with each first circular ring pen segment 11, avoiding the complex process brought by the different-layer layout. Similarly, the notches are set on the same side of each second circular ring pen segment 21 to accommodate the second connecting pen segment 22, so that the second connecting pen segment 22 can adopt a same-layer layout design when connecting with each second circular ring pen segment 21, avoiding the complex process brought by the different-layer layout.

[0037] Optimally, the notches of each first circular ring pen segment 11 and the notches of each second circular ring pen segment 21 are located on the same side.

[0038] The pen segment display pattern of the present utility model designs the notches of each first circular ring pen segment 11 and the notches of each second circular ring pen segment 21 on the same side. In this way, when the first connecting pen segment 12 and the second connecting pen segment 22 are respectively lit at a selected point or all lit along with each first circular ring pen segment 11 and each second circular ring pen segment 21, they can also present a semi-bright state with 50% brightness or a full-bright state with 100% brightness, making the pen segment display pattern more integral when in semi-bright or full-bright state.

[0039] There is a gap between adjacent first circular ring pen segment 11 and second circular ring pen segment 21, and the gap is between 0.31 mm and 0.3 mm, so as to avoid brightness interference between adjacent first circular ring pen segment 11 and second circular ring pen segment 21, and further avoid the problem of uneven brightness when in full-bright state.

[0040] In an embodiment, the innermost circular ring pen segment is the second circular ring pen segment 21. The first display pattern 10 further includes a circular pen segment 13 that can be driven and lit simultaneously with each first circular ring pen segment 11, that is, the circular pen segment 13 is connected to the first connecting pen segment 12, and the circular pen segment 13 is located at the center of each first circular ring pen segment 11.

[0041] In an embodiment, the innermost circular ring pen segment is the first circular ring pen segment 11. The second display pattern 20 further includes a circular pen segment 23 that can be driven and lit simultaneously with each second circular ring pen segment 21, that is, the circular pen segment 23 is connected to the second connecting pen segment 22, and the circular pen segment 23 is located at the center of each second circular ring pen segment 21.

[0043] Such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, a pen segment display screen includes a first driving line 30, a second driving line 40, a first driving pin 50, a second driving pin 60, and the pen segment display pattern described in the first embodiment. One end of the first driving line 30 is connected to the first connection pen segment 12 of the first display pattern 10, and the other end of the first driving line 30 is connected to the first driving pin 50. One end of the second driving line 40 is connected to the second connection pen segment 22 of the second display pattern 20, and the other end of the second driving line 40 is connected to the second driving pin 60.
