Abstract: A numerical display arrangement with at least one display device for the selective representation of oriental numerals in the values of zero to nine from individual, and discretely controllable electro-optical display segments which are grouped within a parallogram-like frame upstanding on a narrow side thereof. The numerical display arrangement includes eight segments of which there are arranged along the upper narrow side of the frame from left to right, as viewed in the direction towards the display arrangement, two elongate segments adjacent each other and a point-shaped segment, therebelow along the left lengthier frame side two elongate segments below each other, along the right lengthier frame sides an elongate segment, between these along the narrow lower frame side there is a tied in segment and in the center region of the frame there is an elongate diagonal segment extending approximately from the right lower frame corner upwardly toward the left.

Abstract: An electro-optical time-indicating system displays the time by simulating a clock using dial hands. The electrodes of a liquid crystal display are formed by radial track segments and the backing electrodes are subdivided into inner and outer electrodes. The driving of the track segments to indicate hours, minutes and seconds is accomplished by a time division multiplex technique. In order to keep the number of electrode terminals for the track segments to a minimum, the track segments are combined into L track segment cascades with L input terminals. The track segments are arranged in K twin sets such that, as viewed in the clockwise direction, an n.sup.th track segment (where n ranges from 1 to L) of one set of the twin sets is always connected with the L+1-n.sup.th track segment of the other set of a twin set. The inner backing electrodes are subdivided into M inner blocks with one terminal each, and the outer backing electrodes are divided into N outer blocks with one terminal each.
