摘要:
An active matrix liquid crystal display device comprising an array of picture elements (12) which include respective switching means (20), e.g. TFTs, and which are driven a row at a time by drive signals supplied via sets of row and column address conductors (14,16) further includes an array of active addressed sensing elements (18) each consisting of a photosensitive element (26), e.g. a thin film photoresistor or photodiode, charge storage means (25) and a switching device (24), e.g. a TFT, connected to respective row and column address conductors (14,16). The charge storage means are periodically charged through operation of their associated switching devices by said drive signals and are selectively discharged upon their associated photosensitive element being illuminated by, for example, a light pen (41). The states of the charge storage means of all the sensing elements are determined, one row at a time, by a detection circuit (40) connected to the column address conductors (16) during each display field period in synchronism with the driving of the rows of picture elements.
摘要:
In operation of an active matrix display device comprising an array of display elements (12), for example liquid crystal elements, each connected in series with an associated two terminal non-linear switching device (30), e.g. a MIM, between row and column address conductors (22,24), and row and column driver circuits (40,43) for applying selection signals to each row conductor in turn and data signals to the column conductors, the data signals are applied for part only of the row address period and a row selection signal commences prior to the data signal and while a reference potential is applied to the column conductors whereby during a row address period a display element is initially charged to a level approaching the lower end of the display element's operational range of voltages and thereafter charged to the required level according to the data signal. Vertical cross-talk is reduced and peak current density through the non-linear devices is kept low, thereby avoiding the risk of damage.

摘要:
A colour display system including a cathode ray display tube (10) of the kind which has an electron multiplier (16) arranged adjacent a luminescent screen (14) comprising a repeating pattern of three different colour phosphor elements and pairs of colour selection electrodes (38, 40) associated with each channel of the multiplier operable to control the direction of the electron beam from the channels for colour selection purposes uses a switching bridge circuit comprising semiconductor switching devices (52, 54, 56, 58), e.g. MOSFETs, connected between voltage supplies for switching the voltage applied to each one of the pair of electrodes between three respective levels in synchronism to achieve a predetermined colour selection sequence. The semiconductor devices are controlled by synchronised waveforms from a pulse generating circuit (86) via optocouplers (88) enabling the switching bridge circuit to be floated at a high potential. The switching voltages applied to one of the selection electrodes may be offset with respect to those applied to the other electrode.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods of making colour selection deflection electrode structures for use in colour picture display tubes having a channel plate electron multiplier arranged adjacent a screen, the deflection electrode structure being disposed intermediate the multiplier and screen and consisting of pairs of elongate, rectangular electrodes aligned with rows of output apertures of the multiplier and operable to control the direction of an electron beam emanating from those apertures so as to impinge upon a selected one of a plurality of different colour phosphors in repeating pattern comprising the screen. The methods involve the steps of forming slits (1) in a pair of thin metal sheets, e.g. by etching, to define the required deflection electrodes (3) together with margins (7, 8) and interconnecting supporting strips (4, 5), bonding the two sheets together using an insulative bonding glass material with respective electrodes thereof in registration to form an integral assembly, and rotating the electrodes (3) through around 90° with respect to the plane of the sheets. Spacing elements determine spacing between opposed electrodes and margins.
摘要:
A colour display tube (10) which has a channel plate electron multiplier (22) for multiplying a low voltage, low current electron beam (18) and thereby obtaining an amplified output beam (60) for producing an image on a screen (24) formed of a plurality of different phosphors arranged as dots, each of which is surrounded by at least one ring. In order to form the output beam (60) into well defined dots and rings to obtain good colour purity, the source-to-screen distance of the output beam (60) is varied in a predertermined manner. A means for doing this comprises additional electrodes (50), (52) and (54) mounted on the output side of the electron multiplier (22).
摘要:
@ In order to reduce contrast degradation in an electrostatically scanned flat cathode ray tube (10) having a channel plate electron multiplier (44), due to back-scattered electrons (46) entering channels remote from their origin, steps are taken to restrict the acceptance angle of the channel plate electron multiplier. In one arrangement means are provided on the input surface to restrict the angle of entry to a range normally associated with the addressing electron beam (arrow A). In another arrangement (Figures 9A and 9B or Figure 10) the ready emission of secondary electrons is restricted to a predetermined arcuate portion of the input of each channel of the electron multiplier. In either arrangement stray electrons (arrows B and C) are unable to impinge upon the secondary emitting material (481 or surface in the channels and in consequence produce many fewer back-scattered electrons. Optionally a material (50) having a low back-scatter coefficient and a microscopically rough surface texture may be applied to the exposed surfaces, apart from the apertures, of the input side of the electron multiplier (44).
摘要:
A display apparatus which comprises a display tube (10) having a channel plate electron multiplier (38) and a penetron screen (40) with an electrode (42) (thereinafter termed the screen electrode) thereon by which an accelerating field is provided between the electron multiplier and the screen. In orderto obtain rapid switching of the voltage applied to the screen electrode (42), an EHT power supply has a thermionic valve (70) included within the display tube envelope (20) to shunt current to ground when switching from a high voltage to a low voltage. The anode (72) and cathode (76) of the valve (70) are connected respectively to the screen electrode (42) and the electron gun cathode (28). The valve (70) may be a triode or tetrode. A feedback arrangement is disclosed which enables the voltage on the screen electrode (42) to remain substantially constant in spite of variations in screen current. Figure 1 illiustrated shows an electromagnetically deflected display tube and Figure 2 (not shown) shows an embodiment of an apparatus having a flat, electrostatically deflected, display tube.
