C., a cor- --poration oif Mary-landv phois may be dispersed in asoli'd or liquid dielectric carrier, or may be disposed on a support independently ofany carrier, in either ever'ifconstituting an electro- I "luminous'rnedium. The medium may be sandwiched between a pair of electrodes, one of whichi'nay be transparent, and then constitutes the dielectric of an electrical cond'ens'er, which is luminous in response totheapplica- --tionthereto of timevaryingfvoltages. Such a-eondenser has been'described in the U. S. Patent to E. L. Mager, No. 2,624,857, to which reference is'niade for further detailedinformation as to preferredstructural' arrange- Inents.
In accordance with 'the'present'invcntion, in its preferred form, 'atransparentelectrically conductive plate is utilized as-a support" for a mass of electroluminescent phosphor, which 'is embeddedin ai'high resistance solid dielectric carrier. A 'signalinput terminalisconnected in par'allel to-corresponding' terminals ofia series of piezoelectric crystals, the emainingterminals of which are coriiiected with 'contactslocated at discrete points of the phosphor. Each piezo-electric. crystal is" fabricated to be 'seriesresonant to a' diiferen't frequency within a freq'uenc'y band. Iffde'sire'd', the selectivity curves" of the separatepiezoelectric crystals may o ierlap su'fliciently that atleastone piezo-electric' crystal of the plurality employed is responsive to every "frequency within=the bandf It is then-a characteristic of each 'piezo-electric crystal-that in response to a frequency towhic'hit is resonantit constitutescssentially ashortcircuit', while in} esponse to other frequenciesit constitutes an open circuit; The separatepiezo electric crystals accordingly applysignals'at differentfrequencies to' di'flerent points ofthe layer of electroluminescent phosphon-the signals passing through th e phosphor and viaa'tunilig indu'ctance to ground. A plurality of electroluminescent condensers are therebyformed, each one consisting'of (1) one of the contacts which proceed from the array of piezo-electric crystals,- (2:) the area of the transparenttelectrically conductingplate which immediately-mnderlies the* 'cont-act, and-(3 thephosphor in its high resistance, high dielect'ric constant'medium. The tuningcoih 'which is comrhon to all the electroluminescent condensers, resonates the individual condensers to the frequency of the band under examination. It is possible to accomplish this by means of a single coil, provided the band of frequencies is not unduly great, because the Q of the coil and its associated condenser or condensers is relatively low, of the order of 20 or 30, while the Q of the associated piezo-electric crystals is of the order of 10,000 or 10,000,000.
It is well known that piezo-electric crystals are series resonant not only to their fundamental frequencies, but also to harmonics of these frequencies. By virtue of the fact that the condenser and tuning coil in series with United States PatenfO "ice 2,810,883 Patented Oct ZZ, 1957 each piezo-electric crystal is a series'resonant circuit,- it
can in fact be resonant to only a single bandof frein-terms of voltage across the electroluminescent co'ndenser. For that frequency to which the electroluminescent condenser and its associated tuning coil is resonant aresonant rise of voltage takes place across-the coridenser, the resonant rise'bei'ngof the order of '20 o r;30.
Since electroluminescent phosphors require a: minimum voltage for firing the response of the systemtoharmonic frequencies at considerable amplitude may be completely eliminated, while the response of the system to :relatively small amplitudes within a desired-band may be considerable.
: It isaccordingly a broad object of the'pr ese'ntrinvention toprovide a novelelectroluminescent indicator, in
which indications are produced at discrete points of an electroluminescent medium in response to signals of discrete frequencies, and in which responses of the system to frequencies harmonically-related to a desired band of frequencies are eliminated.
. It is a-more specific object of the presentinventio'n to provide a systememploying a'plurality of piezoelectric, crystals asfrequency separating devices, separate frequencies'being applied to discrete portions of. an electroluminescent medium, and the electroluminescent :mediumbeing tuned to a preselected band of; frequencies,
tothe practical exclusion offrequencies falling outside the" preselected band.
The above and still'further features, objects, andi advantages of theinvention will become apparcnt upon consideration of the following detailed description. of a specific embodiment ofthe invention,-especiallysyvlien taken in conjun'ction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the single figureof the drawings is-aschema'tic circuit diagram of a system in accordance with'the pres ent, invention. 40
Referring now more specifically to the accompanying drawings, thereference numeral '1 represents a'ftsig'nal input terminal to which may beapplied signalsderivin'g fromany source, such as from the intermediate-frequency amplifier of a radio receiver,-'a sonar'receiver; or the like, the band of frequencies being applied iniparallel to the input terminals 2, 3, 4, of an array of*:piezo electric crystals 6;7, 8, The output electrodesl10, 1-1, 12, of the'piezo-electric crystals 6, 7, 8,' respectively, are connected with or utilized asl'contacts, each directed to a different discretepoint of alayer M of electroluminescent phosphor. This phosphor may: be laid ona layer of dielectric material, or may befinc'orporat'ed thereinin-accordance with the teachings: of Ul S'. Patent to.E. L Mager-2,654,857.

Accordingly, for any frequency falling within the predetermined band, an alternating current will appear at one of the output terminals 10, 11, 12, Each of the contacts 10 to 12, in conjunction with that portion of the conductive layer 16 which immediately underlies it, represents a condenser having as its dielectric medium a portion of the electroluminescent layer 14. This condenser has a definite capacity which may be tuned by means of the inductance coil 17. Accordingly, each one of the piezoelectric crystals 68, inclusive, is connected in series with a further resonant circuit, tuned approximately to the same frequency as is the crystal. The Q of the piezo-electric crystal may be of the order of 10,000 to 10,000,000, depending upon the structure and mounting of the piezo-electric crystal. On the other hand the measured Q of a specific circuit consisting of a probe, a layer of electrically conductive plate, and an intermediate phosphor, in series with a tuning coil has been found to be approximately to 40. Accordingly, the series tuned circuit which includes the coil and electroluminescent condenser is relatively low Q and the piezo-electric crystals are each extremely high Q circuits. It follows that a large number of crystals may fall substantially within the resonance curve of the electroluminescent condenser and its tuning coil 17 Upon application to the terminal 1 of a signal falling within the predetermined band of frequencies, f1 and f2, one of piezo-electric crystals 6, 7, 8, represents a short circuit to the frequency of the signal, all the remaining crystals being essentially open circuits.

A resonant rise of voltage occurs across the condenser, and the phosphor which subsists immediately under the activated one of contacts 10, 11, 12, glows. shunt capacity of the remaining crystals, or which occurs at frequencies harmonically related to those desired, produces no response in the phosphor, unless they are of extremely high amplitude, because the phosphor possesses a firing threshold, and does not glow in response to any voltage lower than its required firing voltage. This firing voltage is a function of the constitution of the phosphor, the constitution of its medium, if any, and the thickness of the layer of phosphor. Firing voltages having values of volts R. M. S. have been observed, at frequencies 1 of several mc., and luminous efiects have been observed in electroluminescent phosphors of the general type described in the Mager patent at frequencies as high as mc./s. and as low as 10 C. P. S.
