Abstract

The optical display unit comprises a cathode ray tube (9) with an external display surface (10). Within the CRT is an electrically conducting film (4), upon which are deposited successively on electro-luminescent film (3) a photodielectric film (2) and another electrically conducting film (1). A final layer consists of another electro-luminescent layer (8) facing the electron beam. In use, the electrons cause a luminescence of the display on the internal film which is transferred to the group of films between the conducting films (1,4). These are connected to an external circuit with an A. C source and a switch so that a semi-permanent image equivalent to the original picture may be produced.

Description

Optische AnzeigevorrichtungOptical display device

Die Erfindu'#g betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur optischen Anzeige von kurzzeitig optisch erkennbaren Informationen mit zwei an eine Spannungsquelle anschließbaren, elektrisch leitenden, transparenten Schichten, zwischen denen eine Schicht eines Elektrolumineszenz-Leuchtstoffs liegt.The invention relates to a device for the visual display of briefly visually recognizable information with two pieces of information that can be connected to a voltage source, electrically conductive, transparent layers, between which a layer of a Electroluminescent phosphor lies.

Optisch anzuzeigende Informationen sind häufig nur von sehr kurzer Dauer. Es ist aber wünschenswert, die Dauer der Informationsanzeige beliebig wahlbar zu machen. Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Information elektronisch zu speichern und ihre optische Anzeige mit Hilfe des Speichers in rascher Folge zu wiederholen, so daß für den Betrachter ein stehendes Bild entsteht.Information to be displayed optically is often very short Duration. However, it is desirable that the duration of the information display can be selected as desired close. One possibility is to store the information electronically and to repeat their visual display with the help of the memory in quick succession, so that a still picture emerges for the viewer.

Diese Art der Anzeige erfordert aber einen erhöhten Aufwand für die Speicherelektronik.However, this type of display requires increased effort for the Storage electronics.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur optischen Anzeige von kurzzeitig optisch erkennbaren Informationen anzugeben, bei der die optische Anzeige für beliebige Zeitdauer erhalten bleibt. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß zwischen einer der elektrisch leitenden, transparenten Schichten und der Leuchtstoffschicht eine Schicht eines photodielektrischen oder photoelektrischen Stoffes liegt.The present invention is based on the object of a device for the visual display of briefly visually recognizable information, in which the visual display is retained for any period of time. Is resolved this object according to the invention in that between one of the electrically conductive, transparent layers and the phosphor layer a layer of a photo dielectric or photoelectric substance.

bzw. photoelektrischen Zwischen der photodielektrischen/und der Leuchtstoffschicht kann eine zusätzliche lichtdurchlässige Schicht vorgesehen sein, die einen relativ kleinen kapazitiven Widerstand darstellt. Als Träger der elektrisch leitenden, transparenten Schichten und der dazwischen liegenden Schichten kann die innere Oberfläche des die Anzeigefläche bildenden Teiles des Röhrenkolbens einer Elektronenstrahlröhre vorgesehen sein. or photoelectric between the photo dielectric and the phosphor layer an additional light-permeable layer can be provided, which has a relatively represents small capacitive resistance. As a carrier of the electrically conductive, transparent Layers and the layers in between can be the inner surface of the the part of the tube piston of a cathode ray tube which forms the display area be provided.

In diesem Fall ist die Außenseite der inneren transparenten Schicht mit einer weiteren Leuchtstoffschicht versehen, welche bei Auftreffen des in der Röhre erzeugten Elektronenstrahls die kurzzeitig optisch erkennbare Information aussendet. Der die Anzeigefläche bildende Teil des Röhrenkolbens besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus leitfähigem Material und bildet gleichzeitig eine der elektrisch leitenden, transparenten Schichten.In this case the outside is the inner transparent layer provided with a further phosphor layer which, when the in the The electron beam generated by the tube provides the briefly optically recognizable information sends out. The part of the tube piston which forms the display surface is expediently made made of conductive material and at the same time forms one of the electrically conductive, transparent layers.

Durch die Erfindung wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß kurzzeitig auftretende Informationen beliebig lange angezeigt werden können.The invention has the advantage that briefly occurring Information can be displayed for as long as you like.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Die Figur 1 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung, die Figur 2 einen Querschnitt durch eine Elektronenröhre, auf deren Bildschirm die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung aufgebaut ist. Die Darstellung der Schichten in den Zeichnungen ist nicht maßstabgerecht.The invention is explained with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a device according to the invention, FIG Cross section through an electron tube, on the screen of which the invention Device is constructed. The representation of the layers in the drawings is not to scale.

In Figur 1 sind die elektrisch leitenden, transparenten Schichten mit 1 und 4 bezeichnet. Sie sind über den Schalter 6 mit der Spannungsquelle 5 verbunden. Zwischen den schichten i und 4 liegen eine Schicht 3 eines Elektrolumineszenz-Leuchtstoffs und eine Schicht 2 eines photodielektrischen Stoffes.In Figure 1 are the electrically conductive, transparent layers denoted by 1 and 4. They are connected to the voltage source 5 via the switch 6. Between layers i and 4 there is a layer 3 of an electroluminescent phosphor and a layer 2 of photo dielectric material.

Die Vorrichtung ist betriebsbereit, wenn der Schalter 6 geschlossen ist. Die photodielektrische Schicht, deren Dielektrizitätskonstante im unbeleuchteten Zustand sehr hoch ist, verhindert, daß der Elektrolumineszenz-Leuchtstoff zur Lichtemission angeregt wird. Erst wenn eine optisch erkennbare Information in Form von Licht (Pfeil 7) auf die photodielektrische Schicht trifft, wird deren Dielektrizitäts-Konstante sowe#it herabgesetzt, daß die an den transparenten Schichten anliegende Spannung zur Anregung der Lichtemission im Leuchtstöff -ausr.icht.The device is ready for operation when the switch 6 is closed is. The photo dielectric layer, whose dielectric constant in the unlit State is very high, prevents the electroluminescent phosphor from emitting light is stimulated. Only when optically recognizable information in the form of light (arrow 7) hits the photodielectric layer, its dielectric constant becomes so that the voltage applied to the transparent layers is reduced to stimulate the light emission in the luminescent alignment light.

Die Lichtemission aus der Leuchtstoffschicht ist vom Betrachter her erkennbar. Ein Teil des emittierten Lichtes fällt auf die photodielektrische Schicht und hält deren Dielektrizitätskonstante auf den kleinen, für die weitere Lichtemission erforderlichen Wert. Die Anzeige verschwindet erst, wenn der Schalter 6 geöffnet wird.The light emission from the phosphor layer is from the viewer recognizable. Part of the emitted light falls on the photodielectric layer and keeps their dielectric constant at the small one, for further light emission required value. The display only disappears when switch 6 is opened will.

Anstelle der photodielektrischen Schicht kann erfindungsgemäß auch eine photoelektrische Schicht vorgesehen sein, deren elektrischer Widerstand beim Auftreffen von Licht abnimmt. Auch dabei wird die an der Leuchtstoffschicht anliegende Spannung so erhöht, daß sie zur Lichtemission angeregt wird. Die optische Rückkopplung bewirkt, daß die Lichtemission erst endet, wenn die Spannung abgeschaltet wird.Instead of the photodielectric layer, it is also possible according to the invention a photoelectric layer may be provided, the electrical resistance of which when Light impingement decreases. In this case, too, the one lying against the phosphor layer Voltage increased so that it is excited to emit light. The optical feedback causes the light emission to end only when the voltage is switched off.

Die Vorrichtung, bestehend aus den beiden elektrich leitenden, transparenten Schichten und der dazwischen liegenden Leuchtstoffschicht, stellt einen Elektrolumineszenz-Leuchtkondensator dar. Derartige Kondensatoren sind für die Verwendung als elektrooptische Wandler allgemein bekannt. Im vorliegenden Fall wird der Leuchtkondensator jedoch als Speicher verwendet.The device, consisting of the two electrically conductive, transparent ones Layers and the phosphor layer lying between them, constitutes an electroluminescent luminous capacitor Such capacitors are for use as electro-optical converters well known. In the present case, however, the luminous capacitor is used as a memory used.

In Figur 2 ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auf der Innenseite eines Röhrenkolbens 9 einer Elektronenstrablröhre angebracht. Die Anzeigefläche 10 der Elektronenstrahlröhre bildet dabei den Träger für die Schichten. Die Anzeigefläche des Röhrenkilbens ist zunachst mit einer leitenden, transparenten Schicht bedeckt, die ihrerseits mit einer Schicht 3 eines Elektrolumineszenz-Leuchtstoffs und einer Schicht 2 eines photodielektrischen Stoffes beschichtet ist. Darauf folgt eine weitere elektrisch leitende, transparente Schicht 1, deren Außenseite eine weitere Leuchtstoffschicht 8 trägt. Trifft nun der Elektronenstrahl, der in Abhängigkeit von der anzuzeigenden Information abgelenkt wird, auf die Le whtgtoffchicht 8, so wird diese zur Lichtemission angeregt. Das austretende Licht stellt die kurzzeitig optisch erkennbare Information dar, die mit Hilfe der darunter liegenden Anordnung gespeichert wird, wobei der Funktionsablauf derselbe ist, wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1. Wird der Elektronenstrahl abgeschaltet, so erlischt das Leuchten der Leuchtstoffschicht 8, die Anzeige bleibt jedoch für den Betrachter weiter erhalten, bis er sie zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt abschaltet.In Figure 2, the device according to the invention is on the inside a tube piston 9 of an electron beam tube attached. The display area 10 of the cathode ray tube forms the support for the layers. The display area the tube bulb is initially covered with a conductive, transparent layer, in turn with a layer 3 of an electroluminescent phosphor and a Layer 2 of a photo dielectric material is coated. This is followed by another electrically conductive, transparent layer 1, the outside of which is a further phosphor layer 8 carries. Now hits the electron beam, which depends on the to be displayed Information is diverted onto the Le whtgtoffchicht 8, so will stimulated these to emit light. The emerging light makes the short-term optically identifiable information is stored with the help of the underlying arrangement is, the functional sequence is the same as in the embodiment according to FIG 1. If the electron beam is switched off, the luminescent layer goes out 8, however, the display continues to be available to the viewer until he or she comes to a switches off at any time.
