Unbalance vector display device and process
First Claim
1. A display device for displaying an unbalance information for a body to be balanced in at least one plane, comprising a liquid crystal display panel, transparent dial means superimposed upon said liquid crystal display panel, means holding said liquid crystal display panel and said transparent dial means in an operational relationship to each other, said liquid crystal display panel comprising row electrodes and column electrodes each including respective row electrode elements and column electrode elements, said electrode elements having different configurations, said row electrodes further comprising first means for conductively interconnecting elements of the same configuration to form a plurality of rows, said column electrodes further comprising second means for conductively interconnecting elements of the same configuration to form a plurality of columns, said rows and columns being arranged so that elements of the same configuration are in register with each other and so that an element of one configuration alternates with an element of another configuration in the physical distribution of said electrode elements in said liquid crystal display panel.

Abstract
The present display device combines a liquid crystal display panel with a transparent dial for example having a polar coordinate system on which the information shown by the panel may be displayed with regard to its value and location or angular position. This type of display is especially suitable for displaying unbalance informations of a body to be balanced. In the present process an unbalance representing signals are separated into horizontal and vertical components, which are then supplied respectively to the row and column electrodes of said liquid crystal display device. The dial itself may also be constituted as a liquid crystal display panel. The row and column electrodes may be provided in several sets for simultaneously displaying several unbalance informations, for example, relating to different planes in a body to be balanced.

- 9. A process for displaying an unbalance information for a body to be balanced in at least one plate comprising, employing a liquid crystal display device having row electrodes and column electrodes with respective input terminals, providing said row electrodes and said column electrodes with electrode elements having alternately different configurations, registering row electrodes with column electrodes so that electrodes with the same configuration register with each other to form a pair, superimposing a dial on said liquid crystal display device, separating said unbalance information into two signal components, storing said signal components in separate signal channels and supplying said separate signal components to said row and column input terminals to simultaneously display with the aid of said superimposed dial the size and angular position of said unbalance information relative to said body to be balanced.
