发明名称 Watch Display Using Light Sources With A Translucent Cover
摘要 A display assembly includes a display selectively displaying human-readable indicia on a face thereof and a cover disposed over the display. The cover has a homogeneous surface over the entire face of the display. The display assembly is controllable between an inactive state and an active state.

主权项 1. A device comprising: a band configured to wrap around a wrist or arm of a user to permit the device to be worn by the user; a display comprising a plurality of light-emitting devices and configured for selectively displaying human-readable indicia, the display being operable between an active state and an inactive state, wherein each of the light-emitting devices is configured to emit light when in the active state; and a cover comprising a flexible material disposed over the display and covering all of the plurality of light-emitting devices, such that the flexible material forms an outermost surface of the device, the cover further having a plurality of conduits extending through a portion of a thickness of the cover, wherein the flexible material is sufficiently flexible to be bent to an angle of greater than 90 degrees without permanent deformation or fracture, wherein each of the plurality of conduits is substantially aligned with one of the plurality of light-emitting devices, such that light emitted from one of the light-emitting devices travels through the corresponding conduit of the cover to be visible through the cover, wherein the flexible material is generally opaque and is configured to permit a portion of the light emitted by the light-emitting devices to pass through, allowing the display to be visible through the cover when the light-emitting devices are in the active states, and wherein the flexible material is configured to obscure vision of the display when the light-emitting devices are in the inactive states.
