Patent ID: 7050358

Claim:
An electronic device for conveying first information by the use of at least one display hand, and having a secondary display for displaying secondary information, wherein the electronic device comprises: an actuation mechanism, operatively coupled to the at least one display hand, for rotation thereof at least in one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction; and a dial, positioned intermediate the at least one display hand and the actuation mechanism, wherein the dial comprises a plurality of display segments each of which is made up of a multilayered assembly comprising: a transparent substrate having a first and a second surface; a transparent electrically conductive layer formed on the second surface of the transparent substrate; an electroluminescent layer formed on the transparent conductive layer; an insulating layer formed on the electroluminescent layer; and an electrically conductive layer formed on the insulating layer; means for selectively illuminating electroluminescent layers of each of the plurality of display segments; wherein light emanating from the illuminated electroluminescent layers during an illuminated condition passes through the transparent substrate; whereby secondary information is provided by the selected illumination of the electroluminescent layers.
