    Abstract: A system for denoting time and other values by electronic or equivalent displays. Hours are indicated display pattern created out of centrally located displays that, in the aggregate, form the image of a six pointed star. Minutes are indicated by two sets of displays. The primary set appears on the perimeter of the display area, in correspondence to analogue locations, and represents 5 or 10-minute time spans. Complementary minute indicators appear either within or near the primary minute indicators, or outside the primary indicator displays, or inside the hourly indicator. These complementary indicators specify the time to the nearest minute within a primary minute span. Seconds are indicated by blinking elements of the minute indicator displays. The system may be used also to indicate such values as radio band location, time elapsed, date, CD track and operational mode.
