Therefore, an item can be displayed at the display section while the time is simultaneously indicated at the indicator area of ​​the time section, realizing the dual function of the display device in simultaneously displaying an item and indicating the time. Furthermore, since the functions of displaying the item and indicating the time do not interfere with each other, there is no need to drill holes in the displayed item, thus avoiding damage to the displayed item and ensuring its integrity. The display device not only preserves the complete appearance of the displayed item and avoids obstruction by the pointer, but also functions as a clock while displaying the item.

[0041] The display device of this application embodiment not only has a time indication function, but also a display item and aesthetic function. Since the display item and time indication functions do not interfere with each other, the size of the display area can be larger than the size of the indication area, thus reducing the size restrictions on the displayed items. Furthermore, because the time can be viewed in the time indication area, it provides visual appeal, thereby greatly increasing people's attention to the displayed items.

[0075] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] The display device provided in this application aims to solve the technical problem in the related art that decorative items or patterns installed on clocks need to be punched in the middle, making it difficult to maintain their integrity.

[0077] The technical solution of this application and how it solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, borrowed, or combined with each other, and the same terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be described again.

[0078] This application provides a display device 100, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1 to 28 As shown, it includes: a display unit 10 and a time unit 20 connected to the display unit 10; the time unit 20 has an obscured area 21 that is obscured by the display unit 10 and at least two indicator areas 22 located outside the obscured area 21.

[0079] The time section 20 includes at least two sets of time indication components 23 corresponding one-to-one with at least two indication areas 22, and a first time symbol 24 disposed in the indication area 22; the time indication component 23 includes at least two coaxial time indicators, the time indicators are rotatably disposed relative to the indication area 22, and all time indicators in the at least two sets of time indication components 23 used to indicate the same time unit rotate synchronously; the first time symbol 24 of any two indication areas 22 is different, and the first time symbol 24 of all indication areas 22 is used to represent 1 to 12 hours.

[0080] At any given time, only one of all time indicators used to indicate the same time unit is located in the corresponding indicator area 22, while the rest are all located in the obstruction area 21.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the display section 10 of the display device 100 is configured to display items, and the time section 20 uses its at least two indicator areas 22 to display the complete dial and time information.

[0082] The time section 20 includes a first time symbol 24. Each indicator area 22 is provided with a first time symbol 24. The first time symbols 24 of any two indicator areas 22 are different. The first time symbols 24 of all indicator areas 22 are used to represent 1 to 12 hours.

[0083] The time unit 20 also includes at least two sets of time indication components 23, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with at least two indication areas 22. Each set of time indication components 23 includes at least two coaxial time indicators, which are rotatably arranged relative to the indication area 22 for indicating time.

[0084] In at least two sets of time indicator assemblies 23, all time indicators for indicating the same time unit (e.g., for indicating hours or minutes) rotate synchronously to indicate the same time simultaneously. At any given time, among all the time indicators for indicating the same time unit, only one time indicator is located in the corresponding indicator area 22. This time indicator can be observed, and thus the time (e.g., indicating hours or minutes) can be indicated through this time indicator, achieving the function of indicating the time. All other time indicators are located in the obstruction area 21, obstructed by the display unit 10, and cannot be observed.

[0085] In this embodiment, the time section 20 is configured to indicate the time at the indicator area 22. Since the display section 10 located in the obstruction area 21 and the indicator area 22 do not overlap, the display section 10, the indicator area 22, and the first time symbol 24 and time indicator located within the indicator area 22 do not interfere with each other. Therefore, an item can be displayed at the display section 10, and the time can be indicated at the indicator area 22 of the time section 20 simultaneously, realizing the dual function of the display device 100 in simultaneously displaying an item and indicating the time. Furthermore, since the functions of displaying the item and indicating the time do not interfere with each other, there is no need to drill holes in the displayed item 12, thus avoiding damage to the displayed item 12 and ensuring its integrity. The display device 100 not only preserves the complete appearance of the displayed item and avoids obstruction by the pointer, but also functions as a clock while displaying the item.

[0086] The display device 100 of this application embodiment not only has a time indication function, but also a display item and aesthetic function. Since the display item and time indication functions do not interfere with each other, the size of the display area can be larger than the size of the indication area 22, and the size restriction on the displayed item 12 is lower. Furthermore, since the time can be viewed in the indication area 22 of the time section 20, it can bring visual attraction, thus greatly increasing people's attention to the displayed item.

[0087] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the occlusion area 21 includes Figure 1 The overlapping portion of the two dashed circular frames indicates that area 22 includes areas other than the occluded area 21, including at least... Figure 1 The two dotted circular frames in the middle do not overlap. Figure 1 The four sector-shaped areas (including two A areas and two B areas) are symmetrically occluded areas of the object. The right part of area A and the left part of area B are located in occlusion area 21, and the left part of area A and the right part of area B are located in indicator area 22. This ensures that the time indicator of one time indicator component 23 can be seen to turn to one side and disappear (for example, from the left part of area A to the right part, entering occlusion area 21), while the time indicator of another time indicator component 23 appears on the other side (for example, from the right part of area B to the left part, entering indicator area 22).

[0088] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 , Figures 10 to 28 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the first time symbol 24 of all indication areas 22 may include all time symbols (i.e., a total of 12) corresponding to each hour from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock, which can clearly indicate each hour from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock; it may also include time symbols corresponding to some hours from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock, such as 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock (a total of 4), which are used to schematically represent 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

[0089] Optionally, such as Figure 18 , Figures 20 to 28 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the time section 20 may include at least two sets of first time symbols 24 corresponding one-to-one with at least two indicator areas 22. Each set of first time symbols 24 may include all time symbols corresponding to each hour from 1:00 to 12:00, or may include time symbols corresponding to some hours from 1:00 to 12:00. A portion of each set of first time symbols 24 is located in the obscured area 21, which is obscured by the display section 10 and cannot be observed, while another portion is located in the indicator area 22 and can be observed, used to indicate the time. The first time symbols 24 located in the indicator area 22 of all sets of first time symbols 24 are used to represent 1 to 12 hours. Examples are given below:

[0090] For example, the time unit 20 has two indication areas 22, and two sets of first time symbols 24 each include all time symbols corresponding to each hour from 1:00 to 12:00. In the first set of first time symbols 24, the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 1:00 to 6:00 are located in the corresponding indication area 22 (the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 7:00 to 12:00 are located in the obscured area 21), and in the second set of first time symbols 24, the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 7:00 to 12:00 are located in the corresponding indication area 22 (the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 1:00 to 6:00 are located in the obscured area 21). In this case, both indication areas 22 have first time symbols 24 corresponding to each hour from 1:00 to 12:00.

[0091] For example, the time unit 20 has two indicator areas 22, and each of the two sets of first time symbols 24 includes time symbols corresponding to a portion of the hours from 1:00 to 12:00. For instance, in the first set of first time symbols 24, the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 3:00 and 6:00 are located in the corresponding indicator area 22 (the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 9:00 and 12:00 are located in the obscured area 21), and in the second set of first time symbols 24, the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 9:00 and 12:00 are located in the corresponding indicator area 22 (the first time symbols 24 corresponding to 3:00 and 6:00 are located in the obscured area 21). In this case, the two indicator areas 22 are provided with first time symbols 24 corresponding to 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, and 12:00.

[0092] Of course, in other optional embodiments of this application, it can also be set as follows, depending on actual needs: the first time symbol 24 of the partial group includes all time symbols corresponding to each hour from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock, and the first time symbol 24 of the remaining partial group includes time symbols corresponding to some hours from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

[0093] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 , Figures 10 to 28 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the first time symbol 24 includes, but is not limited to, Chinese characters, foreign language (such as English) characters or letters, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, scales, etc.

[0094] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 13 , Figure 16 and Figure 18 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the time indicator includes at least one of a pointer and a decorative element. The time indicator can be a pointer, a decorative element, or a combination of a pointer and a decorative element.

[0095] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 13 , Figure 16 and Figure 18 As shown in the embodiments of this application, at least two of the time indicators used to indicate the same time unit have different shapes, colors, and patterns.

[0096] Optionally, such as Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown in the embodiments of this application, at least two of the time indicators used to indicate different time units have at least one different shape, color, and pattern.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, the two time indicators may be different in shape, color, or pattern. Of course, they may also be different in any combination of two or three of the shape, color, and pattern.

[0098] In this embodiment, by setting two time indicators to different shapes, colors, and / or patterns, emotional value can be given to the display, achieving the purpose of attracting traffic for indoor and outdoor advertising. The appearance of the item can be preserved completely without being restricted, but what is seen is still a clock. This can give the item a clock function and increase its practicality. At the same time, since the shape, color, and / or pattern of the time indicator will rotate with the time indicator, there is also a synchronous screen rotation function. In particular, the time indicator and the related screen on the time indicator can disappear and appear synchronously, which will greatly increase the commercial value.

[0099] In this embodiment, multiple synchronously rotating time indicators and images (such as shapes, colors, patterns, etc.) set on the time indicators can be used to display different time and image relationships, which can achieve better dynamic display.

[0100] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the time indication component 23 includes a first time indicator 231 for indicating hours, a second time indicator 232 for indicating minutes, and a third time indicator 233 for indicating seconds. The first time indicator 231, the second time indicator 232, and the third time indicator 233 share a common axis of rotation, i.e., they rotate coaxially. The time is determined based on the indications of the first time indicator 231, the second time indicator 232, and the third time indicator 233.

[0101] In this embodiment, at least two sets of time indicator components 23 contain first time indicators 231 that indicate the hour, which rotate synchronously. Each first time indicator 231 points to a first time symbol 24 to indicate the hour. At any given time, only one of the first time indicators 231 is located in the corresponding indicator area 22 to indicate the hour, while the rest are all located in the obstructed area 21.

[0102] Of course, in other optional embodiments of this application, the time indicator component 23 may be configured to include only a first time indicator 231 for indicating hours and a second time indicator 232 for indicating minutes, depending on actual needs.

[0103] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the time section 20 further includes a second time symbol disposed in the indicator area 22, wherein the second time symbols of any two indicator areas 22 are at least partially different, and the second time symbols of all indicator areas 22 are used to represent 1 to 60 minutes and / or seconds.

[0104] In this embodiment, at least two sets of time indicator components 23 contain second time indicators 232 for indicating minutes that rotate synchronously. Each second time indicator 232 points to a second time symbol to indicate minutes. At any given time, only one of the second time indicators 232 is located in the corresponding indicator area 22 to indicate minutes, while the rest are all located in the obstructed area 21.

[0105] In this embodiment, at least two sets of time indication components 23 contain third time indicators 233 that indicate seconds, which rotate synchronously. The third time indicators 233 point to the second time symbol to indicate seconds. At any given time, only one of the third time indicators 233 is located in the corresponding indication area 22 to indicate seconds, while the rest are all located in the obstruction area 21.

[0106] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the second time symbol includes, but is not limited to, Chinese characters, foreign language (such as English) characters or letters, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, scales, etc.

[0107] Optionally, such as Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown in the embodiments of this application, at least some of all first time indicators 231, at least some of all second time indicators 232, at least some of all third time indicators 233, and at least two of the first time indicators 231, second time indicators 232 and third time indicators 233 of any time indicator component 23 have different shapes, colors and / or patterns.

[0108] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 10 to 12 , Figures 19 to 22As shown in this embodiment, the time section 20 further includes a first support plate 25. The first support plate 25 has a blocking area 21 and an indicating area 22. The time indicating component 23 and the first time symbol 24 are both disposed on the first support plate 25. Any indicating area 22, along with the corresponding portion of the first support plate 25, the time indicating component 23, and the first time symbol 24, constitutes a dial section. All dial sections are combined to form a complete dial.

[0109] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second time symbol is disposed on the first support plate 25.

[0110] In this embodiment, the first support plate 25 is used to support the time indicator component 23, the first time symbol 24, and the second time symbol. The dial portion corresponds one-to-one with the indicator area 22. The dial portion includes the portion of the first support plate 25, the time indicator component 23, the first time symbol 24, and the second time symbol corresponding to the indicator area 22. All dial portions are combined to form a complete dial, making it convenient for people to check the time.

[0111] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the time indicator of the time indicator assembly 23 is rotatably mounted on the first support plate 25. The time indicator can rotate about a pivot axis and can rotate to the indicator area 22 to point to the first time symbol 24 or the second time symbol located in the indicator area 22, so that people can determine the time according to the indication of the time indicator; the time indicator can also rotate to the obstruction area 21, so that people cannot observe the time indicator located in the obstruction area 21 due to the obstruction of the display part 10.

[0112] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the number of dial sections, indicator areas 22, time indicator components 23, and the number of groups of first time symbols 24 are set one-to-one.

[0158] This application provides a display device with both item display and time indication functions. The device is simple in design and easy to manufacture. This display device can be used to manufacture clocks or timepieces, and can also be used in cultural and creative products, decorations, storefronts, advertising boards, interior decorations, window edges, and other scenarios.

[0159] By applying the embodiments of this application, at least the following beneficial effects can be achieved:

[0160] In this embodiment of the application, the display section of the display device is configured to display an item, and the time section uses its at least two indicator areas to display a complete dial and time information.

[0161] In at least two sets of time indicator components, all time indicators used to indicate the same time unit (e.g., hours or minutes) rotate synchronously to indicate the same time simultaneously. At any given time, among all the time indicators used to indicate the same time unit, only one time indicator is located in the corresponding indicator area and can be observed, thus enabling the time to be indicated (e.g., hours or minutes). The remaining time indicators are all located in obstructed areas, blocked by the display unit, and cannot be observed.

[0162] In this embodiment, the time section is configured to indicate the time at the indicator area. Since the display section and the indicator area located in the obstruction area do not overlap, the display section, the indicator area, and the first time symbol and time indicator located within the indicator area do not interfere with each other. Therefore, an item can be displayed at the display section while the time is simultaneously indicated at the indicator area of ​​the time section, realizing the dual function of the display device in simultaneously displaying an item and indicating the time. Furthermore, since the functions of displaying the item and indicating the time do not interfere with each other, there is no need to drill holes in the displayed item, thus avoiding damage to the displayed item and ensuring its integrity. The display device not only preserves the complete appearance of the displayed item and avoids obstruction by the pointer, but also functions as a clock while displaying the item.

[0163] The display device of this application embodiment not only has a time indication function, but also a display item and aesthetic function. Since the display item and time indication functions do not interfere with each other, the size of the display area can be larger than the size of the indication area, thus reducing the size restrictions on the displayed items. Furthermore, because the time can be viewed in the time indication area, it provides visual appeal, thereby greatly increasing people's attention to the displayed items.
