Abstract: A digital color clock employs six Color Outputs to represent the time of day. A first Color Output represents a tens digit of hours, a second Color Output represents a ones digit of hours, a third Color Output represents a tens digit in minutes, a fourth Color Output represents a ones digit in minutes, a fifth Color Output represents a tens digit in seconds, and a sixth Color Output represents a ones digit in seconds. The digital color clock can optionally display the date, temperature, humidity, and/or barometric pressure using Color Outputs. Front and back light sensors can be included for measuring brightness of ambient light to enable adjustment of Color Outputs in response to changes in brightness of ambient light. In one embodiment, the Color Outputs are interspersed among other unchangeable Color Outputs of a display. The display can be a component of a stationary or hand-held computing device.

Abstract: A digital color clock uses Color Digits instead of Roman or Arabic numerals. Each Color Digit is capable of displaying a unique color corresponding to one of the ten Arabic numerals (0-9). Preferably the clock contains at least six Color Digits grouped into three pairs. One of the pairs corresponds to hours, another of the pairs corresponds to minutes, and the remaining of the pairs corresponds to seconds. The three pairs can be separated by unit separators. Both the unit separators and the Color Digits can be illuminated using red/green/blue light-emitting diodes. In one embodiment, the Color Digits are interspersed among other unchangeable color panels. In another embodiment, the digital clock senses and displays the temperature, humidity, and/or date using Color Digits.
