ABSTRACT:
To graphically portray the diminution of the last minute before commencement of a next hour in a balanced digital time display, six horizontal elements of a pair of 7-segment arrays of display elements are activated immediately after one remaining minute and zero seconds. These six elements are each individually flashed for and extinguished after ten second intervals, in a sequence that begins with the top element of the outermost array, spaced farthest to the left from the next hour digit, and progresses to the middle and bottom elements of that array, followed by the top, middle and bottom elements of an intermediate array, located between the outermost array and the next hour digit. This sequence provides descending flashing elements in three ladder-like steps down each array, the outermost array graphically portraying the diminution of the first thirty seconds and the intermediate array the diminution of the second thirty seconds of the last remaining minute.
