  • Publication number: 20070171771
    Abstract: A picture-convertible clock/watch dial including: a picture layer overlaid on a dial area of a clock/watch, the picture layer being formed with multiple picture zones, multiple pixels being drafted on each picture zone to form a complete picture; a display board overlaid on outer face of the picture layer, one face of the display board being formed with multiple refractive sections arranged in parallel to each other; and a driving unit for reciprocally displacing the picture layer. When a picture zone is moved to a position where the pixels of the picture zone are aligned with the refractive sections of the display board, the pixels are refracted and magnified to show a complete picture on the display board. At this time, the other pixels of the other picture zones are not aligned with the refractive sections and are thus minified and visually hidden.
