ABTASTBARES UND LICHTEMITTIERENDES DIODENFELD UND VERFAHREN ZU DESSEN HERSTELLUNG

摘要

There is disclosed an integral light display comprising a matrix of light emitting diodes in an integral structure which is scannable to produce an alpha numeric character display. The light emitting diodes are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns with the anodes of each diode connected by row address lines and the cathodes of each column being common, so as to be connectable to column address lines. A strobing format logic address system is provided for lighting the individual diodes to emission for producing an alpha numeric character or graphic display. The integral structure includes the transparent faceplate for the finished packaged device.
