clock display

Digital time readout

A clock display is the visual interface showing the time on a clock or electronic device.

The term distinguishes the readable output—whether analog hands, digital numerals, or screen-based graphics—from the timekeeping mechanism itself.

The clock display on the microwave blinked after the power outage.
