Driver circuit for an electroluminescent matrix-addressed display

摘要

A driver circuit which operates in a switching mode is provided for an electroluminescent matrix-addressed display. The circuit has a row driver which switches a timed ramp voltage to a selected row of the display. A column driver is used to switch selected columns from a low to a high voltage. The column driver is pulse-modulated (PPM or PWM) so that each pulse is timed to coincide with the ramped voltage to provide a differential voltage peak which provides the desired brightness (or grey scale) at the pixel where the driven row and column cross.
