Abstract

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.
