    摘要: A display LED drive circuit is configured as follows. For example, a constant current circuit, a green display LED circuit, and a red display LED circuit are connected in series and a resistor circuit having a resistor causing a potential difference identical to each of the display LED is connected in parallel to each of the LED circuits. A corresponding switching element of the display LED circuit and a corresponding switching element of the resistor circuit connected in parallel are controlled to be opened and closed in opposite ways. Another route connected to a source circuit in parallel is connected to a constant current circuit, a blue display LED circuit, and a constant voltage diode in series. The blue display LED circuit is connected in parallel to a resistor circuit as has been described above. A predetermined voltage is taken out from the output terminal by the constant voltage diode and supplied to a control circuit. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of constant current circuits, current consumption, and the cost, thereby improving the power source use efficiency.

    摘要: A matrix display device comprises an array of addressable pixels (10) each having a display element (20) and a control circuit for controlling the operation of the display element. The control circuit includes a charge storage capacitor (36) and a photosensitive device (40) coupled to the storage capacitor for regulating charge stored on the storage capacitor (36) in accordance with light falling on the photosensitive device (40). The control circuit further comprises means for independent voltage control (42) of a gate terminal of the photosensitive device (40), preferably a phototransistor. In this way a more efficient and flexible biasing of the phototransistor is possible. The means preferably comprise a second row line (42) being connected to the gate terminal of the photosensitive device (40). This additional line allows also the use of transistors of the same polarity for this type of pixel circuit, saving additional process masks (and costs). In addition, it becomes possible to use the phototransistor as a TFT switch. This dual function (phototransistor/TFT switch) enables the pixel circuit to provide additional features; for example duty-cycle techniques for motion blur compensation.

    摘要: In an active matrix electroluminescent display device, a storage capacitor (24) is provided for storing a voltage to be used for addressing a drive transistor (22). A discharge photodiode (27) is provided for discharging the storage capacitor in dependence on the light output of the display element, and an input data voltage applied to the pixel is changed by an amount corresponding to the threshold voltage of the drive transistor. The changed data voltage is applied between the gate and source of the drive transistor. In this device the initial voltage on the gate of the drive transistor is modified so as to remove the dependency of the light output on the threshold voltage, so that threshold voltage variations can be tolerated.

    摘要: An active matrix electroluminescent display device in which the drive current through an electroluminescent display element (20) in each pixel (10) in a drive period is controlled by a driving device (22) based on a drive signal applied during a preceding address period and stored as a voltage on an associated storage capacitor (36). In order to counteract the effects of display element ageing, through which the light output for a given drive signal level diminishes over time, the pixel includes electro-optic discharging means (38) coupled to the storage capacitor and responsive to the display element's light output to leak stored charge and to control the integrated light output of the display element in the drive period. For improved control, the discharging means is arranged to rapidly discharge the capacitor at a controlled point in the drive period, upon the drive of the display element falling to a low level. A photoresponsive transistor can conveniently be utilised for this purpose.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for driving a plurality of addressable elements consist of driving and selectively enabling one or more addressable elements arranged as an MxN array using two drivers. A first and a second driver are used to drive first and second signals at slightly different frequencies on a first and a second display conductor. A plurality of pixels, coupled between the first and second display conductors, is addressed according to a pixel location in which the first signal is approximately in phase with the second signal. The pixel scan rate is proportional to the difference between the first and second signal frequencies. The first and second conductors may contain a plurality of delay elements and tap-off points. Conducting lines may be terminated by their characteristic impedance to prevent any reflection of the traveling signals. The matrix display pixels are selectively enabled by modulating an amplitude of the first signal and/or an amplitude of the second signal when the selected pixel location(s) is addressed so that the voltage differential between the first and second signals is sufficient to enable the addressed pixel.
