your best shots of a solid state DSM LCD watch

[dutchsiberia]

Awesome Soviet engineering!

[azimuth_pl]

I fully agree! A holy grail of Soviet LCD technology :)
If this would be made from 1976 or later it be US or Japanese outdated licensing but this Elektronika makes a great impression.

looks v similar to a Sharp EL 805!

wow very nice Andrew and welcome to the board.

Would love to see these working again some day.

Maybe this could be a good donor.

Merci,
Unfortunately, Microma has 12H standard, as to russian version - 24H,
here there's a pic of first digits. You can notice a segment for digit "two" - as letter "c". The pic is vice versa, the right edge should be at left.
It is very tricky to get image from display with no cirquit block :)



As to calculator B3-04. Yeah, it looks like Sharp EL-805 of 1973, but has other guts.
it is very interesting inside, the board is made of glass, Sharp has more classic design. All inserts are made by Soviet engeneers, only appearance looks alike

[dutchsiberia]

awesome

Thanks for the insights Andrew. For the DSM display, how did you get the number to appear without the circuit block?

[Andrew Babanin]

Displays from 80-90s are more easy to check. Many of them have got a dot, sending signal to the every segment, like here:



Concerning old displays - most of them do not have this point to check all segments.
I use a solder (soldering station is switched off!!!). Just touch with solder the contacts of display - they will light. The rule - to touch display with finger and not to touch metal parts of solder.
