Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of video screens characterized by a fully digital display device and finding a non-limiting application in the production of computer and television video screens of small thickness and large display area in a single holding and can be planar, cylindrical or spherical.
- CRT type video display devices liquid crystals, plasma, plasma controlled by liquid crystals, light emitting diodes, micro-mirror modules, field effect etc. use electronic circuits which transform digital signals either into analog signals or into frequency modulated signals making it possible to globally vary the emissive intensity of the red green and blue sub pixels, grouped in triplets or pixels, which constitute the video screen.
- These screens constituting the mosaic can be of CRT type, diode panels, overhead projectors, video or liquid crystal, micro mirrors etc.
- These giant screens are several tens of inches thick and large consumers of energy. In fact, it is the limits of the techniques specific to these different types of screens which impose this mosaic mounting as soon as one wants display dimensions greater than what they allow to obtain in a single piece. In general, the limitations of each of these technologies mean that it is not possible to make video screens more than 20 inches diagonal in one piece for LCD screens, 42 inches for CRT screens and plasma screens .
- the object of the present invention is therefore to present a new device produced in the form of an integrated circuit making it possible to make video screens having five main characteristics: firstly they have an entirely digital display device of very small thickness similar to that obtained with LCDs, secondly their refresh rate is very high and independent of the resolution, the frequency of change and the display size of the images, thirdly each displayed image appears at once without scanning the pixels nor matrix addressing of these, fourthly these video screens are always of thin thickness and of display surface in a single piece even for dimensions greater than 42 inches diagonal called giant screens, fifthly these thin screens can have a display surface of all possible shapes, flat, cylindrical and even e spherical.

- FIG. 1 comprises a means 1 called elementary light cell UL which is connected directly to one of the terminals of a means 2 called a power source Va and which is connected to the other terminal of this means 2 through a means 3 called switch SW.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation of the device described in FIG. 1.
- the supply source 2 Va being constantly present, whether this is a direct or periodic voltage, this is applied or not across the terminals of the UL elementary cell depending on whether the SW switch is closed or open.
- the means 1 called the elementary light unit UL emits one or more photon fluxes, that is to say a number of photons debited per unit time in photonic unit system, flux characteristic of its nature and of the type of supply Va applied to it.
- a supply Va adapted to the nature of the elementary light unit UL, it can be obtained that for the same unit of time, which will be called by elementary time convention Te during which it is supplied, it always emits the same photon flux which will be conventionally called elementary light flux ⁇ e and as the elementary light unit 1 emits this flux at a corresponding elementary solid angle the elementary flux ⁇ e will be assimilated by convention to an elementary light intensity.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram which represents the assembly of a set of means 1 called elementary light units UL arranged in a mosaic of 16 by 16 and which are connected to the power source 2 Va by means of means 3 which are SW switches numbered from 1 to 8 according to a preferred non-limiting arrangement of the present invention.
- the means 1 called UL which are blackened represent the ULs which are not activated by the power source 2 Va because the switches 3 to which they are connected are open while the ULs which are clear represent those which are activated by the source supply Go because the switches 3 to which they are connected are closed.
- the switches 3 numbered from 1 to 8 therefore make it possible to apply or not the power source Va to groups of ULs according to this preferred nonlimiting mounting mode.
- the switches 3 allow a number of ULs equal to the power of (n - 1) to be grouped, n being the number of the switch to which these ULs are connected to the power source Va.
- Figure 4 is an addressing table which shows that one can thus activate from 1 to 255 means 1 called UL light units with only 8 address bits applying to switches 3 numbered from 1 to 8 which allow to apply or not to apply the power supply Va to UL groups according to this preferred non-limiting mounting method.
- Each means 1 called UL emitting the same stream of elementary photons ⁇ e when it is activated, in this preferred non-limiting mounting mode, a resulting stream ⁇ sp can therefore be obtained from 1 to 255 times the elementary stream ⁇ e, which, added a resulting flow ⁇ sp 0 when everything is disabled, gives 256 values of resulting flow ⁇ sp.
- the nature of the ULs and the type of supply Va which is suitable for them to obtain this result could be of several kinds.
- the ULs could be simple filament or flash lamps, LED light-emitting diodes, TFEL Thin Electroluminescent films or plasma cells and their supply Va could be a frequency or alternating voltage so that the switches SW being transistors put or not these lamps, these diodes or these TFEL or plasma cells in relation to their supply Va so that they emit or not these elementary fluxes ⁇ e.
- the ULs could also be liquid crystal cells, LEP Light Emitting Polymers or micro mirrors which are activated or not depending on whether the switches SW put them in relation or not with their supply Va which would then be a DC voltage.
- FIG. 5 is an electronic circuit diagram which symbolizes this preferred embodiment and next to which is its specific operating diagram.
- a means 1 called UL elementary light unit is a cell containing a gas whose composition gives it luminescent properties particular when it is properly excited and ionized by a suitable diet.
- a means 4 called capacitance C is connected to one of the terminals of the means 1 and connected to one of the terminals of the power source 2 Va via the switch 3. The other terminal of the source 2 supply Va is connected directly to the other terminal of the elementary light unit 1.
- the supply source 2 Va generates, for example without limitation, an alternating voltage, represented on the diagram by the sinusoidal curve TENSION_Va-
- the curve TENSION_PT_A which is dotted shows in a simplified way the variation of the voltage measured at point A of the assembly diagram.
- the operation of the electronic assembly presents two cases according to whether the switch 3 is open or closed which is represented by the curve ETAT_DE_SW. In the first case if the switch 3 is open, no supply voltage Va is applied to the device and nothing happens since the elementary unit 1 is not connected to the power source 2 Va and is therefore deactivated, or constantly extinguished. In the second case, the switch 3 is closed and the supply voltage Va therefore applies to the entire circuit.
- the TENSION_PT_A curve shows that the voltage measured at point A remains at a constant value until the absolute value of the supply voltage
- the absolute value of the supply voltage I Va I is less than this ionization voltage I Vi
- the current no longer flows and the voltage measured at point A is then maintains the value ⁇ I Vi + ⁇ v I reached.
- the curve ETAT_DE_UL of the diagram shows that for a period of the supply voltage Va, whose peak-to-peak amplitude is slightly greater than 2 times the absolute value of the ionization voltage I Vi I, we obtain 4 luminescent ionizations of the gas from the elementary cell 1 when the switch 3 is closed.
- the ionization time Ti of the gas and therefore of luminescence of the elementary cell 1 is essentially a function of the resistance of the power source, the nature of the gas and its pressure as well as the value of the capacity C.
- Figure 6 shows the same thing as Figure 5 except that the switch SW has been replaced by an electronic transfer gate PT with digital control, constituted for example by no limitation by transistors, which puts or not the circuit in communication with the power source 2 Goes according to whether its logic input L is at one (1) or at zero (0) which is represented by the curve ETAT_DE_L of the diagram.
- This diagram therefore shows the operation of the device over several periods and we find the supply voltage Va, the voltage measured at point A and the ETAT_DE_UL curve of the luminescent ionization pulses. This diagram makes it possible to draw several conclusions.
- the ionization duration Ti is therefore also reduced, luminescent pulses of elementary flux ⁇ e, but generally they always have the same value.
- Te Ti an elementary flux ⁇ e.
- the transfer gate therefore serves by simple binary digital control to allow or not these luminescent pulses emitting these elementary fluxes of photons ⁇ e. As the frequency of these luminescent pulses ⁇ e can be very high, this digital control of the transfer gate can be too, in any case it can very easily be from 25 to 30 Hz if not more.
- FIG. 7 represents the diagram of an assembly composed of the elementary light unit 1 connected to one of the terminals of the power source 2 Va and connected to the capacitor 4 itself connected to the transfer gate 3 which is connected to the other terminal of the power supply 2 Va.
- Transfer door 3 has a digital control input L accepting two logic states zero (0) and one (1).
- FIG 8 shows the equivalent diagram of the electronic circuit detailed in Figure 7.
- Circuit 5 is made up of the entire light unit 1, capacity 4 and the transfer door 3. It can connect to the power source 2 Va and its input L receive a binary logic command.
- Figure 9 shows the schematic section of a preferred physical embodiment of an elementary light unit with its digital control device.
- a transparent support 6 receives on its inner face a layer of a luminescent substance 7 and a transparent electrode 8.
- the assembly of means 10 to 12 constitute a capacitor 4 which is surrounded by an insulator 13.
- the electrode 8 produced with a uniform conductive substance transparent to the flux of photons 15 or in the form of a fine conductive grid is connected directly to one of the terminals of the supply source 2 Va.
- the electrode 11 is connected to the transfer gate 3, which is connected to the other terminal of the power source 2 Va.
- This transfer door 3 is blocked or driven depending on whether a zero (0) or a (1) logic signal is applied to its input L. (We could have used reverse logic). Between the two sets of means 6 to 8 and 10 to 12 is a gas 14 of given composition and pressure similar to that used, for example without limitation, in plasma screens which, when it is suitably excited and ionized, emits by luminescence a stream of photons 15 of a wavelength characteristic of its composition and of its pressure. When the transfer door 3 is blocked, for example by applying a 0 to its input L, nothing happens since no voltage from the power source 2 Va is applied to the device.
- a series of gas ionization pulses 14 is obtained which then generate the same series of luminescent pulses 15, an elementary flux of photons D'unee of a particular wavelength.
- This elementary flux of photons ⁇ e of a particular wavelength 15 passes through the electrode 8 and is transformed by the luminescent substance 7 which in turn emits by luminescence an elementary flux of photons ⁇ e, represented by the arrows 16, d ' a wavelength characteristic of its composition and which pass through the transparent support 6 which may be glass or a poly carbonate.
- compositions of these luminescent substances 7 can for example be non-limiting, similar to those used for plasma screens and which emit, depending on their composition, photon fluxes corresponding to the primary colors of red, green or blue light, it can also be a mixture of these to obtain white or any other specific color.
- the activation voltage is much lower, of the order of a few volts or tens of volts, since it is the voltage ionization I Vi I, in addition there is no need for additional electrodes for the voltage for maintaining the discharges nor for a device for controlling the discharge current flows since it operates by elementary luminescent high frequency ionization pulses ⁇ e whose current flow rates are self limited by capacity 4 which makes a few nano or tens of nano Farad depending on the conductivity of the ionized gas and the value of the ionization time Ti that is desired obtain as elementary time Te for the elementary fluxes ⁇ e.
- FIG 10 shows the schematic section of a preferred physical embodiment of a set of elementary light units UL with numerical control identical and similar to that shown in Figure 9 and constituting a sub pixel.
- a means 17 delimits the whole.
- the support 6 covers the assembly and is coated with the same substance 7 and with an electrode 8 which is common to all of the light units and is connected directly to the power source 2 Va.
- This figure shows that when, for example, a logic command (1) is applied to the input L of one or more transfer doors 3, the luminescent ionization pulses 15 of the gas 14 are possible whereas they do not are not when applying the logic zero command (0) to the input L of one or more transfer gates 3.
- This section represents, according to a non-limiting example, an assembly constituting a Red or Green or Blue sub-pixel depending on whether the composition of the luminescent substance 7 will make it possible to emit by luminescence of the photon fluxes 16 of red, green or blue wavelength under the effect of the photon fluxes 15 emitted by luminescence by the gas 14 for each of the ULs which are activated by their transfer gate 3.
- FIG. 11 represents the correspondence which is established between each sub-pixel 18 constituting the RGB matrix of a video screen and a set of elementary light units with digital control UL according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Each sub-pixel 18 is broken down according to this preferential incorporation of the invention into a mosaic of 16 by 16 means 19 each composed of an elementary light unit 1 UL with its capacitor 4.
- These means 19 are connected according to this preferential incorporation of a goes directly to the supply source 2 Va and on the other hand to their transfer door 3 numbered PT1 to PT8 having their digital control inputs L1 to L8.
- the dimensions of the elementary light units 19 are such that the dimensions of their assembly correspond to the dimension desired for the corresponding sub-pixel.
- One can also increase or decrease the number of elementary light units to obtain a total flux ⁇ sp 2 n x ⁇ e having more or less values by using a binary word having the number of bits n corresponding to make video screens requiring more or less colors or even bi-chromic screens called monochrome or semitones used for displaying alphanumeric and / or graphic information for example.
- FIG. 12 represents the equivalent electronic diagram of a set of elementary light units with numerical control with their power supply and constituting a sub pixel according to the preferred embodiment described in FIG. 3.
- the light units 1 are each connected by a directly listed on a common terminal of the supply source 2 Va and on the other hand to their capacity 4 which are themselves connected to a transfer door 3 according to the preferred incorporation already mentioned for Figures 3 and 11 and which connects them or not with the other terminal of the supply source 2 Va depending on whether the digitally controlled input L1 to L8 of these transfer gates 3 is within range at the corresponding logic value.
- Figure 13 represents the equivalent diagram of the electronic circuit of a sub pixel.
- the circuit 20 represents all of the elements detailed in FIG. 12, with its inputs connected to the power supply 2 Va and the digitally controlled inputs L1 to L8 of the transfer doors 3.

- the flip-flop outputs constituting a one-bit memory, the assembly of which constitutes an 8-bit display memory 22 having a common digital validation command M.AFF.
- the inputs of this display memory 22 are connected to the output of flip-flops with one-bit memory, the assembly of which constitutes an 8-bit display memory following 23 having a digital validation command M.SVT.
- the 8-bit words which are sent to this sub-pixel are sent to the inputs D1 to D8 of the following display memory 23.
- the operation of this arrangement makes it possible to store two words of 8 different bits depending on whether a command is applied validation on M.AFF or M.SVT.
- the 8-bit word which is stored in the following display memory 23 by the validation command M.SVT is that which corresponds to the binary value of the pulses of the following total stream ⁇ sp of this sub-pixel.
- the 8 bit word which is stored in the display memory 22 is the one which corresponds to the binary value of the total flux pulses ⁇ sp which is actually emitted, or displayed, by the sub pixel.
- the 8-bit word contained in the following display memory 23 is transferred to the display memory 22. While the sub-pixel emits the total flow pulses ⁇ sp determined by the value of the 8-bit word contained in the display memory 22 it is possible to load into the display memory according to 23 another 8-bit word corresponding to the value of the pulses of the total stream ⁇ sp which will then be sent by the under pixel. We have therefore clearly separated the refresh rate from the value that is displayed by the sub-pixel of the loading, or change, frequency from the value that it displays.
- the frequency of these pulses corresponds to the refresh frequency of the sub-pixel and the latter , depending only on the characteristics of the voltage applied by the power source 2 Va, can be several kHz and even MHz according to what has been explained in Figures 5 and 6.
- Figure 15 shows the equivalent diagram of the electronic circuit detailed in Figure 14.
- the circuit 24 corresponds to all of the means detailed in Figure 14 with its inputs for connecting to the power supply 2 Va, its inputs digital commands D1 to D8 making it possible to receive the words of n ⁇ 8 bits corresponding to the total flux values ⁇ sp which is emitted by pulses by the sub pixel as well as the validation input M.SVT for their storage in the display memory following 23 and the validation input M.AFF for their storage in the display memory 22.
- FIG. 16 represents the electronic assembly diagram of a set of three sub-pixels represented by FIG. 15 associated with a validation device according to a first preferred embodiment.
- the equivalent circuit described in Figure 15 is found in the three circuits 24 with their inputs connected to the power source 2 Va and their inputs D1 to D8 connected to a common data bus.
- the validation input of the display memories 22 of these three circuits 24 are connected together so as to send them at the same time a validation signal M.AFF.
- three means 25 are used which are type D flip flops connected in series as in a shift register.
- the CP inputs of these FFDs are connected to a common clock source H while their R inputs are connected to a common Reset source.
- the input D of the first (from the left) FFD is connected to the input called SP.PCD because it comes from the previous sub-pixel if it exists or otherwise from the electronic control circuit.
- the output Q of the first FFD is connected both to the input M.SVT of the first circuit 24 to validate the input of its next display memory 23 and to the input D of the second FFD.
- the second FFD and the third FFD are connected according to the same principle to validate each by their output Q the input of the following display memory 23 of the following two circuits 24 which correspond to them.
- the Q output of the third FFD is also connected to the output called SP.SVT and will allow you to connect to the SP.PCD input, therefore to the D input of the FFD for validation of the next sub-pixel if it exists.
- the first 8-bit word on the bus is sent to the inputs D1 to D8 and corresponding to the value of the following total flux ⁇ sp which will be emitted by the red pixel as well as a single pulse validation one (1) logic on input SP.PCD which is connected to input D of the first FFD.
- the validation pulse applied to D then appears on the output Q of the first FFD and validates the input M.SVT of next display memory of the first circuit 24 corresponding to the red sub-pixel thus allowing the storage of the following display memory 23 of the first 8 bit word intended for it.
- the other Q outputs of the other two FFDs are still at zero, they invalidate the M .SVT inputs of the other two circuits 24 corresponding respectively to the Green pixel and the Blue pixel and therefore prevents memorization in their display memory according to 23 of the data on the bus.
- the 8-bit word is sent on the bus corresponding to the value of the following total flux ⁇ sp which will be emitted by the Green sub-pixel.
- the validation pulse present on the Q output of the first FFD and which is applied to the D input of the second FFD and which corresponding to the green sub pixel then appears on its Q output and validates the memory input M.SVT of display following 23 of the Green sub-pixel allowing storage in display display 23 of the 8-bit word intended for it.
