<p>Gas discharge display apparatuses using self shift gas discharge panels, and methods of driving such panels, are provided which allow different areas of a panel to be operated by means of common driving signals in respective different modes selectively, to permit, for example, editing and random address functions. …<??>There may be a first row of areas (11, 12), into each of which data characters can be independently written, and a further row of areas (13, 14), alongside the first row, into which data characters can be shifted from respective areas (11, 12) of the first row. The areas (11, 12, 13, 14) can be operated so that normal shifting, sway shifting (or stationary display) are simultaneously effected in different areas. …<??>If complete data characters are written into successively selected display areas (11, 12) of the first row in turn it may be difficult for an operator to read the sense of the data characters. …<??>Data characters, each built up of a matrix of discharge spots, may be written into respective successively selected areas one line of discharge spots at a time, a first line of a first character being written into a first area (11), then a first line of a second character written into a second area (12) and so on, so that the character matrices are built up line by line and the characters seem, to an operator, to appear together.</p> |
