A display apparatus includes a first display area including a first display unit configured to generate light and a first encapsulation unit disposed on the first display unit; a second display area including a second display unit configured to generate light and a second encapsulation unit disposed on the second display unit; and a through area disposed between the first display area and the second display area. The first encapsulation unit includes a first encapsulation layer covering a first side of an area of the first display unit corresponding to the through area. The second encapsulation unit includes a second encapsulation layer covering a second side of an area of the second display unit corresponding to the through area.

A display system (100) for a watch (200) and preferably of a watch (200) including a display device (110) configured to display an item of information, a pointing device (120) disposed above the display device (110) so as to define an overlap zone (130) and at least one movable element (140) disposed completely or partially above the display device (110) and at the periphery of the overlap zone (130) so as not to interfere with the capacitive or inductive field of the pointing device (120).

An electronic watch including an exterior case including an opening, a crystal disposed in the opening, an hour hand and a minute hand that indicate the time of day, a dial including an indicium, a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure, and a controller configured to determine a water depth based on the output from the pressure sensor, indicate the water depth with the hour hand, and indicate an elapsed time with the minute hand, the elapsed time being time elapsed after the predetermined water depth value is exceeded.

An electronic timepiece includes: a first indicator and a second indicator that are configured to rotate in combination with each other; an operation receiver; and at least one processor. The processor sets a set position that is to be indicated by the second indicator according to an input operation received by the operation receiver. The processor causes the second indicator to temporarily stop rotating at a timing when the second indicator indicates the set position while the first indicator is rotating.

An indication device is provided. The indication device includes an elongated fluid chamber containing at least one electrically conductive liquid driven by a pump for conductive liquids and an immiscible, relatively non-conductive fluid. At least one segment of at least one fluid is used as an indicator. This segment is driven by the pump along adjacent indices of an indicator visible to an observer using a meniscus location sensor and a feedback controller so as to e.g indicate a quantity to the observer.

A liquid crystal display device, the display device including: two facing transparent substrates designated respectively front substrate and rear substrate, the front substrate being same disposed on the observer side, the front and rear substrates being provided on the inner faces thereof with transparent structured electrodes whereof the superposition defines shape pixels switchable between two optical states, the electrodes being connected to a voltage source via a control circuit, forming a cell closed by a sealing frame for receiving in the spaced delimited by the substrates and the sealing frame a liquid crystal composition; and a decorative pattern in direct contact with the front substrate or the rear substrate.

A display mechanism for a watch and a watch including the display mechanism, which includes a display for displaying information, a first and second mobile elements and a support, so that when the first mobile element moves with a first primary speed, the second mobile element moves into a first position so as to cover the display and when the first mobile element moves with a first secondary speed, the second mobile element moves into a second position so as to expose the display. Thus, the display can be exposed which allows to maximize the display surface when information is present on the display.

A pointer display apparatus includes a pointer which operates in an operation range; and at least one processor which controls an operation of the pointer. In a first display mode in which the processor displays display contents with the pointer, the processor sets an evacuation state of the pointer in an evacuation operation in which the pointer is temporarily evacuated from a pointing range to be different from an evacuation state of the pointer in a mode other than the first display mode.
