Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はアナログ量を表示するバーグラフタイプの蛍光
表示管の駆動装置に関する。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a driving device for a bar graph type fluorescent display tube that displays analog quantities.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、バーグラフタイプの蛍光表示管を駆動する場合、
表示量に相当するバーを1セグメン■・のみ点灯して表
示(ポインタ表示)するか、表示量に相当するバーを含
む下位のバーを全て表示(ゾーン表示)している。
Conventionally, when driving a bar graph type fluorescent display tube,
Only one segment of the bar corresponding to the display amount is lit (pointer display), or all lower bars including the bar corresponding to the display amount are displayed (zone display).

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, pointer display has the disadvantage that when displaying an amount that changes continuously, it is difficult to grasp the displayed amount, and the amount of displayed light is constant regardless of the amount, so it is not possible to instantly determine whether the amount is large or small. Furthermore, in the zone display, since the amount of light (brightness) of each displayed bar is constant, there is a drawback that it is difficult to grasp the peak value when displaying a varying amount.

Furthermore, in order to compensate for the above-mentioned drawbacks, the lighting time of the lower bar is varied with respect to the upper bar so that the bar at the top of the displayed quantity is driven to be brighter and darker as the lower bars go. In other words, the duty is changed and the duty is made smaller according to the lower bar. However, since the bar is always operated by switching, the problem of switching pulses output from the drive system must be solved.

Figure 1 shows the configuration of a bar graph type fluorescent display tube.
2 is a display segment, 3 is a grid, 4 is a filament, 5 is a cover glass, and 6 is an anode. Referring to FIG. 2, which shows the configuration for driving the fluorescent display tube configured as described above, when displaying the n-th bar display segment (Bn) as the topmost bar, the electrode Tn is energized. The voltage drop in a normal silicon diode is 0.6V,
A voltage that is 0.6 V lower than the potential of Tl is applied to the electrodes T, and a voltage that is 1.2 V lower than the potential of Tl is applied to the electrode T. Ru. As shown in Figure 3, which shows the general characteristics of brightness with respect to anode voltage when the grid voltage is constant, each bar of the bar graph type is continuous at a level of brightness that cuts the brightness curve in steps of 0°6V. It emits light. Note that FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which three diodes are connected, and in this case, the brightness ratio is larger than in the case of FIG. 2.
