Self-scanning electroluminescent display

摘要

A thin film electroluminescent display panel is disclosed. The panel incorporates plural rows of hysteretic electroluminescent units which are electrically and optically coupled to enable data to be entered serially into each row to establish on and off conditions in selected units. The units are paired to form pixels, one unit in each pixel serving to transfer data and the other being energizable by a display signal. The pixels are energized to display the image represented by the entered data. Auxiliary pixel rows may be provided to permit simultaneous display of an image and entry of the next image to be displayed. Multiple pixels may be provided to produce multicolor images.
