Abstract
A small electronic apparatus provided with a functional display unit is formed of function driving device for generating function driving signals corresponding to a plurality of functions, a plurality of functional display devices corresponding to the functions and including first and second display devices, and a single motor electrically connected to the function driving devices and operated according to the function driving signals from the function driving device. A driving device transmits a driving force to the first functional display device, and an intermittent driving device is connected to the driving device to operate in association therewith. The intermittent driving device rotates the second display device intermittently. A clocking device is electrically connected to the function driving device. When a function of the first display device is completed, the clocking device sends a signal to reset the first display device to have a desired positional relation between the driving device and the intermittent driving device.
