    摘要: In a display device having a plurality of scanning-side electrodes arranged in one direction, a plurality of data-side electrodes arranged in a second direction intersection the first direction, and dielectric layers interposed therebetween, a modulated voltage the magnitude of which is varied according to the emission or non-emission of light is applied to the data-side electrodes, while applying a write voltage in line sequential fashion to the scanning-side electrodes, thereby performing the display control. In such a display device, the polarity of the voltage applied between the data-side electrode and the scanning-side electrode corresponding to the picture element to be driven for light emission is reversed one or more times during the period in which the write voltage is being applied to the scanning-side electrode. This serves to reduce the modulated voltage and the write voltage, thus contributing to the reduction in power consumption. Even when the modulated voltage or the write voltage is reduced, the desired brightness of emitted light can be obtained. In the case of not lowering the modulated voltage or the write voltage, it is possible to further enhance the brightness of emitted light.

    摘要: An EL (electroluminescent) panel driving system includes a display control circuit for producing, line by line, an image data. The image data of each line is defined by a combination of a HIGH level signal representing a spot illumination of the EL panel and a LOW level signal representing a non-illumination of a spot on the EL panel. The system further includes a pre-charge circuit and a pull-up charge circuit for providing a first range voltage to the EL panel at the beginning of each line scan operation to make the EL panel ready to illuminate, and a write-in circuit and a source level switching circuit for providing a second range voltage to the EL panel to permit the spot illumination of the EL panel in accordance with the HIGH level signals contained in the image data. These four circuits are turned on by four signals. The driving system also includes a detector that detects when no HIGH level signal are present in the image data of a line, an AND gate array for cutting off the four signals from the pre-charge circuit, pull-up circuit, write-in circuit, and source circuit, the four circuits are prevented from being actuated, thereby cutting off the power normally supplied during the blank line scanning to save power.

    摘要: The preferred embodiment discloses a new thin-film EL display panel drive circuit using EL layers installed between the scan-side electrodes and the data-side electrodes aligned so as to allow them to cross one another, comprising: scan-side electrodes connected to the drain terminal of the N-ch high-voltage resistant driver having a grounded source terminal and also connected to the other drain terminal of the P-ch high-voltage resistant driver having a source terminal connected to the pull-up charge drive circuit and to the write drive circuit via the scan-side common bus line; and data-side electrodes connected to the drain terminal of the N-ch high-voltage resistant driver having a grounded source terminal and also having the anode common terminal connected to the cathode terminal of the diode array connected to the preliminary charge drive circuit via the data-side common bus line. By grounding the source terminal to the scan-side N-ch MOS ICs, some of the floating-output logic-circuit driving power sources and some of the logic signal transmission photo-couplers can be eliminated. This not only saves component elements conventionally needed for the P-N symmetric EL display panel drive circuits, but also securely suppresses noise interference, thus offering an indispensable technique giving an early and overall improvement over those thin-film EL display drive circuits thus far made available.

    摘要: A drive circuit for a thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel includes an odd side N-ch high voltage MOS driver, and an odd side P-ch high voltage MOS driver connected to odd number scanning electrodes of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel. Even number scanning electrodes of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel are connected to an even side N-ch high voltage MOS driver and an even side P-ch high voltage MOS driver. The four MOS drivers are effectively controlled to perform an alternating current driving of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel. A source level switching circuit is connected to the odd side and even side N-ch high voltage MOS drivers so as to switch the source voltage in synchronization with the field driving of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel.
