A time display apparatus for producing an analog-type display using liquid crystal display elements, electrochomic display elements, or the like is described. The display of this apparatus is divided into two parts: a main display portion for indicating the hour and for indicating the number of minutes past the hour in units of 2.5 minutes, and an auxiliary display portion for indicating the number of minutes in units of 1 minute. The main display portion requires 48 display elements, and the auxiliary display portion requires 4 elements, compared to 120 elements required in conventional time displays. Through this reduction in the number of elements, a small-sized, low-priced display apparatus can be achieved. |
