Liquid-crystal displays show dark digits on a pale background because the segments block light rather than emit it. That gives this face its flat grey-green look, with a faint shadow where each segment sits slightly above the glass.
A small label in the top corner tells you which mode you are in — CLOCK, CHRONO or TIMER — and an AM or PM flag appears in 12-hour mode, just like a digital watch. It is a good-looking choice for retro dashboards, game streams and any page that wants a nostalgic readout.
Where it's useful
- A retro clock or timer overlay for a stream
- A nostalgic stopwatch for a page about the 1980s
- A neutral, low-glare display for daytime use
- A clock that looks at home next to old-school games
Three ways to use it
- Clock — the time of day in your time zone or any city, in 12- or 24-hour form.
- Stopwatch — counts up with laps; press Lap while it runs.
- Countdown — counts down from any time you set, sounds at zero, then counts overtime.
Every face runs entirely in your browser, remembers your settings on this device, and can be embedded on your own page.

Questions
Why is it grey instead of glowing?
A real LCD has no light of its own; it reflects room light. This face copies that flat, daylight-readable look.
Can I change the ink colour?
Yes. The accent colour sets the colour of the digits and labels.
Does it have a backlight?
No, in keeping with the original look. If you prefer a glowing digital face, try the LED, VFD or neon faces.
