Abstract

1376977 Matrix displays C M SINCLAIR 18 May 1973 [22 May 1972] 23893/72 Heading G5C Apparatus capable of displaying an array of letters or numbers comprises a single alphanumeric display device 21, means for reciprocating the deivce and means for causing a sequence of letters or numbers to be displayed at precise positions during reciprocation. A seven segment device 21 is mounted on an arm 23 attached to one end of a U-shaped spring. The other end is attached to a rod 25 carrying an adjusting nut 26. The spring is mounted between resilient pads 33, 34 and vibrated like a tuning fork by a solenoid 29 acting on a magnet 27 attached to the spring. Another embodiment comprises two arms mounted at their centres like scissors. The device and a counterweight are mounted at the top ends of the arms and polepieces engaging a driving solenoid are mounted at the lower ends. A driving circuit includes a clock oscillator whose output is varied according to the position of the device to evenly space the displayed digits. The position of the device is sensed by a feedback coil 28.
