Definitions
- the signals are distributed to the respective electrodes by time-division demultiplexers, and the pulse length of the pulses applied to the electrodes is adjustable to a value less than the burnout time by adjusting the duration of the pulse provided by a monostable flipflop inserted in the signal chain ahead of the demultiplexer input.
- the invention relates to a method and apparatus for recording or reproducing visual information on electrosensitive sheet material, particularly on metallized paper.
- the invention concerns the use of writing electrodes arranged next to each other in an array in which each of the electrodes is insulated from the other and is controlled by an individual controllable semiconductor device.
- One or more groups of writing electrodes are constructed in the form of a so called electrode comb.
- a separate signal source is used for each writing electrode and all of the signal sources simultaneously control the individual writing electrodes.
- the simultaneous activation of the writing electrodes gives rise to the disadvantage of circuit bridging between electrodes.
- Electrographic writing on metallized sheet material produces a small are that causes metal particles to coalesce. By thus destroying the con tinuity of the metal film locally, the maximum electrographic effect is reached when the arc burns out. It is desirable to conduct the operation without any of the electrodes being activated long enough to reach burnout, even on a maximum signal.
- the electrodes are preferably arranged in a line which sweeps across the paper and they are preferably energized in a progressive sequence in with each is connected for energization after the preceding one in line. Any arbitrary sequence can be used, however, especially for encoded transmission cases.
- the electrodes may, if desired, be arranged for closer packing in a staggered array, for instance, rather than all in one line.
- a time-division demultiplexer is used to distribute time subdivisions of the signal to the respective electrodes.
- the number of outputs of the demultiplexer must then be equal to the number of writing electrodes of the electrode group.
- the invention is particularly useful for reproduction of line drawings and incidental lettering and printing, and other two-valued (black and white, for example) graphic information.
- the information to be displayed on the electrosensitive sheet material is first supplied to one input of a two input NAND gate, the other input of which is constituted by the clock pulses supplied by a timing circuit.
- the result is a series of pulses of length determined by the clock pulses (i.e., by their period, duty cycle and polarity) and their presence or absence in any clock pulse period is dependent on the state of the input information in that period.
- the demultiplexer is advanced by means of a binary counter which operates in response to the same clock pulses that are applied to the aforesaid NAND gate.
- the input to the demultiplexer is thus switched in turn to each of the outputs. Successive signal pulses proceed from each of these outputs in turn to the respective control electrodes of semiconductor devices each of which electrically drives one of the writing electrodes.
- the maximum pulse length is less than the clock pulse period, so that each electrode is activated for just one pulse and one signal pulse reaches only a single electrode.
- a monostable flip-flop (monoflop) circuit having a manually adjustable period to determine the pulse length and to interpose this circuit between the output of the NAND gate and the signal input of the demultiplexer.
- the pulses furnished by the NAND gate to the monostable flip-flop may be either short or long, however the clock pulse gating may produce them, since the monoflop can operate either as a pulse stretcher or a pulse shortener.
- the modification of the writing time made possible by the adjustment of the period of the monoflop circuit provides control over the point size and hence the degree of blackness of the graphic display, so that writing at various values of gray is possible.
- the writing electrodes are grouped in a plurality of adjacent groups or sub-arrays, each of which comprises the same number of writing electrodes.
- Such an apparatus is also drven so that all of the writing electrodes are driven in sequence and that the period for which a single electrode is activated each time is less than the period in which the writing process would come to an end by burnout.
- each sub array of electrodes and their respective driving semiconductors is provided with one of a number of identical demultiplexers, all of which are advanced by a common binary counter.
- a number of additional flipflops form a 3 bit binary counter provided for enabling each of the demultiplexers in turn for a complete demultiplexing cycle, so that the signal inputs of all the demultiplexers may be continuously fed in parallel with the same input signal.
- An extra set of NAND is interposed between the pulse length determining (monoflop) circuit and each of the demultiplexers, completes the counting function of the flip-flops, in association with additional inputs on each of the demultiplexers interconnected in the counting circuit to provide the necessary sequencing of the demultiplexers.
- the several demultiplexer units, the 3 bit flip-flop counter, and the 4 bit binary counter used to advance all the demultiplexer units may be regarded as a two-stage demultiplexing means.
- An additional pulse forming circuit is used to provide a suitable reset pulse after all of the demultiplexer units have each gone through one demultiplexing cycle.

These writing electrodes are respectively driven by writing transistors T,,, T,, T T,,,, The collectors of the writing transistors are connected to the respective writing electrodes and their emitters are grounded, to the apparatus chassis, for example.

- the NAND gates may likewise be provided in integrated circuit form with several on one substrate (e.g., SN 7400 made by Texas Instruments).

- the LOW logic level could, for example, be 0.8 volts or less, and the HIGH logic level 2 or more volts, in a low impedance circuit.

- the reset control input of monoflop 60 may be derived from the counter 50, from the demultiplexer 31 or from an external timer.
- the information (VIDEO) to be graphically displayed on the electrosensitive paper is applied as a signal to the first input E,,,, of NAND gate N (FIG. 3, second line).
- a clock pulse externally supplied to the circuit appears which also advances the 4 bit binary counter 50.
- the pulses appearing at the output P of NAND gate N are shortened in duration in monoflop circuit 40 to a value 1,,- corresponding to the switching time of each of the writing electrodes S 8 ,8 515, this value being adjustable by a potentiometer not shown in the drawing. This period t,,- of the pulses appearing at the output of monoflop 40 is so adjusted that it is shorter than the time in which the electrographic effect would come to an end by burnout.
- the monoflop 40 can operate as a pulse stretcher instead of as a pulse shortener, with the result in any event being the same.
- the NAND gate N is not an ordinary digital gate but it is in effect a switched amplifier and the monoflop 40 switches on an amplifier or other device (not shown) during the length of its output pulse so that the output of the combined arrangement will have an amplitude corresponding to the signal at the input of the system and a pulse length determined by the setting of the monoflop 40. It is also possible to have the amplitude of the input signal very the duration of the pulse produced by monoflop 40, by means not shown, instead of the provision of the manual pulse length adjustment.
- the pulses taken from the output of monoflop 40 are supplied to the signal input 0,, of demultiplexer 31, whereas the second signal input G is held in the LOW condition.
- the clock pulse c advances the 4 bit binary counter 50, which is to say that it causes the outputs A B C D of the counter 50 to go through all 16 possible sets of binary conditions in logical sequence.
- These output count pulses of the 4 bit binary counter 50 are provided to the information inputs A,, B,, C,, D, of the demultiplexer 31, causing the switching circuits of the latter to be advanced as previously mentioned.
- the information outputs 0, 1, 2, 15 of demultiplexer 31 are caused to produce one after the other in sequence as timed by the pulses present at the first input (3,, are switched to the LOW" condition for the period p of a single pulse.
