  • step 1 above is applied to the control circuits of the diodes of the other lines so as to view the entire image.
  • Step 3 of setting the modulator control during the depolarization period see previous step 4.
  • the beginning of this step marks the end of the emission period of the diode and the beginning of the depolarization period of the modulator T2. During the depolarization period, the selection switch for the transmission therefore remains open.
