DISPLAY PANEL
20230205139 · 2023-06-29 ·

A display panel includes a plate-shaped decoration member including a shading part and a light transmission part formed within the shading part, as well as a plate-shaped reflection member disposed on a back side of the decoration member. The shading part and the light transmission part create a fine pattern in a plan view. The reflection member is configured to reflect light. The decoration member is disposed on a front surface of the reflection member.

TIMEPIECE WITH LIGHT-AMPLIFYING DESIGN
20230359148 · 2023-11-09 ·

In embodiments, a timepiece includes a case, a dial in the case, and a reflector underneath the dial. The dial has a plurality of holes through its thickness, wherein the dial is shaped to allow ambient light to enter a region behind the dial. The reflector is configured to direct the ambient light from the region behind the dial to exit through the plurality of holes.

Timepiece comprising a movable element provided with a luminous index

The invention concerns a timepiece (1), notably a diver's watch, comprising a case (2) provided with a case middle (3), a light source (6), an element (4) movable between several positions relative to the case (2), and movable means for assembling the movable element (4) on the middle part (3) of the case (2). More particularly, the movable element (4) includes a light guide (10) and an upper cover (9) comprising an index (5), the guide (10) being configured to receive a light beam (8) from the light source through an entry face (12), and to guide light rays (18) through an exit face (15) of the light guide (10) in order to illuminate the index (5), whatever the position of the movable element (4) relative to the case (2).

INTERMITTENT DISPLAY MECHANISM FOR TIMEPIECE

An intermittent display mechanism for a timepiece includes a mobile component in motion, an energy source for supplying a light emission source coupled with a light guide, and light emission control means. The light emission control means includes a flexible body bearing a flexible piezoelectric film or coating coated in an electrically insulating shell and attached to a fixed structure and including a distal zone overhanging with respect to the structure, arranged to interfere mechanically, at periodic or random times, with the mobile component during the travel thereof and move away from the rest position thereof before starting vibration of the flexible body and the piezoelectric film or coating, which constitutes an energy source, to convert the mechanical energy supplied by the mobile component into electrical energy supplied to the light emission source.
