The present invention is to reduce an increase in a processing load when a background image is displayed in addition to pointer images indicating pointer movements. A control section displays a plurality of pointer images indicating pointer movements in a timepiece display area of a display section based on time information acquired from a clock circuit. Here, the control section identifies an area where the plurality of pointer images are displayed, such as a pointer movement area or a pointer presence area in the pointer movement area, and controls to perform high-load and low-load display operations with different processing loads on the identified area and an area other than the identified area, such as an outer area outside the pointer movement area or a pointer absence area in the pointer movement area, respectively.

Arrangement of electrodes for a juxtaposed two digit display including a left digit and a right digit is disclosed. The right digit includes an upper electrode, a median electrode and a lower electrode. The right digit includes a lateral upper left electrode, a lateral lower left electrode, a lateral upper right electrode and a lateral lower right electrode. The left digit includes an upper electrode, a median electrode and a lower electrode. The left digit includes a lateral upper left electrode, a lateral lower left electrode, a lateral upper right electrode and a lateral lower right electrode. In the left digit, the upper electrode, the median electrode and the lower electrode are each formed of a first and second point-shaped electrode. A first additional electrode is provided between the lateral upper left electrode and the lateral upper right electrode of the left digit, the first additional electrode being adjacent to the lateral upper right electrode, and a second additional electrode is provided between the lateral lower left electrode and the lateral lower right electrode, the second additional electrode being adjacent to the lateral lower right electrode.

Provided is a calendar allowing a user to easily read the display for a particular day. A calendar 10 includes a day-display section displaying a day. The day-display section has a plurality of arc FIGS. 28(1) to 28(5), each of which has an arc centered on a vertex of a polygon. The day is sequentially and continuously displayed along the plurality of arc figures.

A wearable electronic device includes an outer circumferential wall, a supporting member inside the outer circumferential wall, a window spaced apart from an upper side of the supporting member, a display spaced apart from the outer circumferential wall and between the supporting member and the window, and a support including a first portion between the display and the outer circumferential wall and a second portion between the display and the supporting member, the second portion extending from the first portion.

A method and apparatus for receiving an expiry time in a smart clip and one of timing and counting down to the expiry time comprises coupling an electronic receiver to the smart clip and connecting a timer to the electronic receiver are disclosed. Receiving the expiry time by the electronic receiver, and one of timing and counting down to the expiry time by the timer are also disclosed. Other features and embodiments of the invention are also disclosed.

The disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for dimming an alarm clock with three displays. An alarm clock can include three displays each positioned on a different side of the alarm clock to allow the alarm clock to be read from different vantage points. In some implementations, the alarm clock can include a front display, a right side display, and a left side display. Each display can have multiple brightness settings. Each display also can have a respective dimming button to allow a user to select a desired brightness level. In some implementations, the dimming button for the front display can serve as a master dimming button by controlling the brightness of all three of the displays, while the right side dimming button and the left side dimming button control only the brightness setting for the right side display and the left side display, respectively.
