  • Patent number: 4320484
    Abstract: A simultaneous analog digital timepiece display comprises two superposed passive electro-optical cells one of which provides analog information and the other digital information. The timepiece is arranged and adapted such that the two types of information displayed are never directly superimposed. Such result is obtained through the provision of three zones for the digital display cell wherein one only of said zones is activated at any one time, such activated zone being chosen so as not to coincide with the position of the analog display hands.
