ANALOG DISPLAY ELEMENT MADE OF CRYSTALLINE MATERIAL, TIMEPIECE PROVIDED WITH A DISPLAY ELEMENT OF THIS TYPE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The hand (10) includes a main body (11) which is made of crystalline material containing silicon and is formed by micromachining a silicon wafer (12). The body has an upper surface including geometrical relief patterns and facets, and an integrated circuit unit is arranged in the main body. A metallic deposit is formed on the geometrical relief patterns to provide an outer metallic printed-pattern aspect to the hand. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an analog display unit for a timepiece.
