Description
- The present invention concerns a method in accordance with the preamble of claim 1. The invention also concerns a wiring system to be used for the implementation of this method.
- An AC electroluminescent display based on the thin film technique comprises a bi-dimensional matrix, in respect of the drive circuits, consisting of X and Y electrodes, in which matrix the X electrodes form lines and the Y electrodes, on the other hand, form columns.
- It is additionally characteristic of such a display that
- - the drive voltage is an AC voltage,
- - a DC voltage component in the drive voltage reduces the service life of the display,
- -the necessary modulation voltage is lower than half the entire drive voltage,
- -after the refresh pulse, the luminance is lowered at a time constant typically of approximately 1 ms, and
- -the capacitance of the display is high, typically about 50 to 200 pF/mm2.
- In order to illustrate the prior art, reference is made to the following publications:
- (1) Gielow T. A., Holly R. H.: "Tactical Video Display", Report number DELET -TR-79-0251-1, Sept. 1980, 17 p.
- (2) Kurahashi K., Takahara K., Andoh Sh.: "A Refresh Addressing Technique of AC-TFEL Panels", Proceedings of the First European Display Research Conference EURODISPLAY '81, September 16-18, 1981, Munich, p. 216-219, and
- (3) FI Patent Application 811,245 (Oy Lohja Ab).
- In the method in accordance with the reference publication (1), each line in its turn receives a high-amplitude line selection pulse while the other lines are floating. At the same time, a modulation voltage corresponding to the desired luminance is applied to the columns. After the line selection pulses, a refresh pulse of reversed polarity is applied simultaneously to all lines. In this solution, it has been possible to reduce the withstand voltage required from the column drive circuits to the level of unipolar modulation voltage.
- The method described in the reference publication (2) corresponds to the former method regarding its withstand voltage requirements. The methods differ from each other in the respect that, in the former method, high-voltage pulses are applied to the ground point of the line drive circuits, and the ground point of the column drive circuits is connected to the ground point of the entire drive system. In the method in accordance with the reference publication (2), the ground point of the line drive circuits is connected to the system ground, and the high-voltage pulses are applied to the ground point of the column drive circuits.
- In the reference publication (3), a method is described by means of which the withstand voltage requirement of the column drive circuits can be lowered by applying bipolar pulses to the lines and by applying the modulation both to the positive and to the negative drive pulses of the display.
- In all of the refresh methods mentioned above, drive circuits operating at high voltages are required for guiding the line electrodes. As is known in prior art, circuits of high withstand voltages are difficult to integrate and, therefore, expensive. In the methods in accordance with the reference publications (1) and (2), further drawbacks are the occurrence of a DC voltage component in the drive voltage of the display as well as the requirement of high withstand voltage of the column drive circuits, because of the unipolar modulation. The requirement of two different drive circuits is also a considerable drawback.
- The object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks occurring in the systems of prior art. A further object of the invention to provide a refresh method for driving particularly an AC electroluminescent display based on the thin film technique, which refresh method lowers the requirements of withstand voltage to be imposed on the drive circuits of the display, reduces the power consumption of the display, and permits a drive voltage completely free from a DC voltage component. A further object is to provide a wiring system for the implementation of the method.
- The invention is based, e.g., on the following ideas:
- - Preferably, the capacitances of the whole display are charged at a maximum basic voltage, however, so that the line selection pulses or column modulation pulses alone are not sufficient to ignite any display element.
- -The line selection and column modulation voltages are superimposed on the basic voltage so that no change occurs in the voltage of the non-selected display elements. The absolute value of the semi-selected display elements is increased at the maximum by the line selection or column modulation voltage, and the absolute value of the voltage of the selected display elements is increased by the sum of the line selection voltage and column modulation voltage.
- - The polarity of the basic voltage is preferably not reversed until after all the lines have, in their turn, received the line selection pulse.
- - The apparatus includes two sources of DC voltage, one of them being the drive voltage source of the line drive circuits and the other one the drive voltage source of the column drive circuits. Moreover, the apparatus includes an AC voltage source, which is connected in series with one of the DC voltage sources.
- More specifically, the method in accordance with the invention is characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
- On the other hand, the wiring system in accordance with the invention is characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 7.
- By means of the invention, remarkable advantages are achieved. Thus, the withstand voltage required both from the line drive circuits and from the column drive circuits is only equal to the maximum values of the modulation voltages, about 30 V. The prior art refresh methods have required a withstand voltage of about 60 V from the column drive circuits and a withstand voltage of about 200 V from the line drive circuits. A lower withstand voltage requirement facilitates the integration and results in less expensive and more reliable circuits.
- Both of the drive circuits may be of the same type, which reduces the number of circuit types to be integrated.
- The drive voltage of the display does not contain a DC voltage component, which increases the service life of the display.
- The power consumption of the display is low, because the amplitude of the line selection pulses and of the column modulation pulses is low and because the frequency of the basic voltage may be low, even lower than 25 Hz.
- In the wiring system, only one high-voltage AC voltage source is required, whereas, in the prior art solutions, up to four pulse sources have been commonly required. This reduces the cost of the apparatus and improves its reliability.
- The invention will be examined below in more detail with the aid of the exemplifying embodiment in accordance with the attached drawings.
- Figure 1 shows one wiring system in accordance with the invention as applied to a 2 x 2 matrix display.
- Figure 2 is a graphical presentation as a function of time of the various drive pulses related to the wiring system shown in Fig. 1.
- In Fig. 1, the display matrix comprises the lines X1 and X2 as well as the columns Y1 and Y2. At the crossing points of the lines and columns, the display elements C11, C12, C21 and C22 are located. The voltages measured at the elements from the X electrodes to the Y electrodes are denoted with Uc11, Uc12, Uc21 and Uc22, respectively. The ground point SE of the column drive circuits SA is preferably connected to the ground point JE of the entire drive system. The ground point RE of the line drive circuits RA is connected to the AC voltage UB generated by the AC voltage source B.
- In Fig. 2 it is assumed that the display element C22 is in the display state corresponding to the maximum luminance and that the voltage URM across the line drive circuits RA, which voltage URM is in series with the AC voltage Uµ, is equal to the voltage USM across the column drive circuits SA. Thus, thereat, URM = UsM = UM.
- The formation of the drive voltages of the display elements C11, C12, C21 and C22 is examined at a moment at which the line x2 is in the selected state. When UB is positive, the selected line x2 receives the voltage Ûs + URM, whereas the non-selected line X1 receives the voltage ÛB. At the same time, the selected column Y2 is connected to the ground point SE and the non-selected column Y1 to the voltage USM. Thus, the positive amplitude of the basic voltage (UBIAS) is formed by subtracting the maximum value USM of the column modulation voltages from the positive peak value ÛB of the AC voltage. When UB is negative, the selected line X2 is connected to the voltage -OB and the non-selected line to the voltage -ÛB + URM. The selected column Y2 is now connected to the voltage USM and the non-selected column Y1 to the ground, so that the absolute value of the negative amplitude of the basic voltage (TBIAS) is equal to the peak value ÛB of the AC voltage reduced by the line selection voltage URM. From Fig. 2 it is seen that, when the line selection voltage URM and the maximum value USM of the column modulation voltages are chosen equally high (USM = URM = UM), the voltages of all of the display elements C11, C12, C21 and C22 are AC voltages, the peak values being ÛB in the cases of semi-selected display elements C11, C12, C21 and ÛB + UM in the case of selected display element C22. From Fig. 2 it is also seen that, when the line X2 receives a selection pulse, the display element C11 is non-selected and, consequently, receives only the basic voltage (UBIAS), whose amplitude has an absolute value of UB - UM.
- Within the scope of the invention, it is also possible to conceive solutions differing from the exemplifying embodiment described above. Thus, differing from the example of Figures 1 and 2, it is possible to reverse the polarity of the basic voltage more frequently than after each field. The frequency can be increased even to several cycles per line..
- The line selection voltage URM and the maximum value USM of the column modulation voltages are equally high in the example of Figures 1 and 2. They may also be different. Symmetry of the drive voltage can then be maintained by selecting the positive and the negative amplitude of the AC voltage UB to differ as to their magnitudes by the difference between the line selection voltage URM and the maximum value USM of the column modulation voltages.
- In the example of the Figures 1 and 2, the non-selected lines are always connected either to the positive pole or to the negative pole of the line selection voltage source RM depending on the phase of the AC voltage UB. If the line selection voltage URM is selected at least twice as high as the maximum value USM of the column modulation voltages, the non-selected lines may be allowed to float while the selected line receives the selection pulse. This reduces the power consumption.
- Differing from the example of Fig. 1, it is possible to use a bridge coupling so that to the ground points RE, SE of both the line drive circuits RA and the column drive circuits SA, pulses unipolar in relation to the system ground are supplied at opposite phases in relation to each other.
- In the example of Figures 1 and 2, a case has been discussed in which the luminance of the display elements has only two levels. It is evident that the method in accordance with the invention can also be employed in connection with picture displays. Besides the burst-length and pulse- width modulations, it is also possible to use amplitude modulation for adjustment of the luminance, for example, in the way suggested in the reference publication (3), by selecting the column modulation voltage corresponding to the desired luminance between zero and the maximum value USM.
