Electronic schedule display apparatus
First Claim
1. An electronic schedule display apparatus comprising:
- key input means for inputting schedule data, the schedule data input by said key input means including date data, start time data, end time data, and content data of a scheduled event;
schedule data storage means, having a memory area capacity sufficient for storing the schedule data for a plurality of scheduled events input by said key input means in respective memory areas;
a matrix display device including a large number of optical matrix display elements arranged to correspond to a matrix table of days and times, one optical matrix display element of said matrix display device corresponding to several minutes, and one hour being constituted by the display elements smaller in number than 60; and
display control means, connected to said schedule data storage means, for supplying drive signals to said matrix display device based on the date data, start time data and end time data of scheduled data for a particular scheduled event of said plurality of stored scheduled events to drive all display elements between one display element corresponding to the start time data and other display element corresponding to the end time data in a portion of the matrix display device corresponding to the date data.
