    Abstract: A controller for use with a multi-segment electroluminescent display 1. Control signals C1–CN control a plurality of half H-bridges H and Hc, the terminals of the half H-bridges being connected respectively to ground and to a high voltage DC supply 9. One of said half H-bridges provides a common output Vcommon and the remaining H-bridges provide drive voltages V1–VN for the segments of the display. The H bridges are driven by an oscillator 14 so that an AC voltage is selectively applied to the segments of the display. A power supply 24 provides a predetermined amount of power per unit area of the display. This is controlled by an area summation engine 22 having a segment data input, a segment counter and a memory containing area data corresponding to the segment(s) of the display. Based on the input from the segment data input, the area(s) of the segment(s) that are to be lit are obtained from the memory and summed to provide the total area to be lit. This is fed to the power supply 24, which then feeds the correct amount of power to display 1 via the half H-bridges.

    Abstract: Certain materials are electroluminescent, and this electroluminescent effect has been used in the construction of backlights for displays. Such a backlight commonly consists of a transparent front layer (11) known as the substrate carrying over its rear face a transparent electrically-conductive film (12) forming the backlight's front electrode and covered by a layer of electroluminescent/phosphor material (13) over the rear face of which is a high-dielectric dielectric layer (16) bearing on its rear face a conductive film (17) forming the back electrode. The whole is positioned behind a mask (18) that defines whatever characters the display is to show. This use of a mask has some disadvantages, some of which can be overcome by utilizing an array of suitably shaped individual electrodes (21) instead of a continuous one; however, this itself has drawbacks, since the lead (22) to each electrode acts as an electrode in its own right, activating the phosphor to show faint but distracting additional illumination.

    Abstract: An electroluminescent display has a transparent front-electrode, rear electrodes, and a layer of electroluminescent material located between the first and second electrodes. Conductive tracks are electrically connected to the rear electrodes and supply a driving voltage for the electroluminescent material to the rear electrodes. A backplane layer is provided between the electroluminescent material layer and the conductive tracks, and is electrically connected to the front electrode such that the potential difference across the electroluminescent material layer in the region of the conductive tracks is substantially zero. In this way, when the conductive track is supplying the driving voltage to the rear-electrodes, the electroluminescent material layer is not illuminated by an electric field between the conductive tracks and the front electrode. Gaps may be defined in the front electrode corresponding substantially to the location of the conductive tracks. This also prevents the voltage in the conductive tracks from illuminating the electroluminescent material layer. An addressable electroluminescent display may be included in an item of clothing.

    Abstract: A fluid flow meter comprises a pair of transducers spaced apart in the direction of fluid flow. A transmitter causes acoustic signals to be transmitted in both directions through the fluid by the transducers. A processor determines information relating to the fluid flow by monitoring the time of flight of acoustic signals received by the transducers. Part of the space between the transducers defines a flow path consisting of a flow structure having a plurality of parallel fluid flow passages which extend axially in the direction of flow, wherein the cross-sectional diameters of the passages are chosen such that substantially plane acoustic waves only are transmitted through the passages by the fluid, and wherein under working conditions that fluid flows through each passage such that the ratio of the volume flow rate through the passage to the total volume flow rate remains substantially constant with respect to the total volume flow rate.
