Abstract
A display electrode arrangement for an electronic clinical thermometer includes two groups of segment electrodes and two groups of common electrodes, and a driving circuit for selectively driving segment signals and common signals. Each of the two groups of segment electrodes and common electrodes is operated to display only a '3' or a '4' in the Centigrade degrees, and a '9' or a '10' for the Fahrenheit degrees. Those numerals may be displayed by combining the displayed portions.
