Abstract: The differences of physical properties between several time-displacement operators are analyzed systematically. By using the Feynman propagator, a new time-displacement operator is reasonably constructed, with which the Hermite potential of relativistic equaltime equation is derived. Consequently, this equation is turned into a relativistic Schrödinger equation, in which the Hamiltonian is a Hermitian differentio-integral operator. Furthermore, the equaltime potential of minimum electro-magnetic coupling in first order is calculated. When the mass ratio of one particle to the other tends to infinity, the equation reduces to Dirac equation naturally.
