Digital segment type displays, where use of a chain connection between the display elements reduces the number of connections and provides reliability and cost improvements.

摘要

Display device has a serial input for feeding in a data signal, two or more display elements, for storage and display of at least a part of the data signal and a transport connection between the display elements for transfer of the stored information signal or a part of it to the next display element. The display elements are arranged in chain. An Independent claim is made for a operating method for a display device with two or more display elements where the elements are formed together in a chain so that data can be transferred from one to the next.
