CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR DISPLAY BOARDS HAVING LUMINOUS ELEMENTS ARRANGED ON A MATRIX

摘要

Circuit arrangement for the shaded(gray-scale) displaying of images on display boards having individual luminous elements arranged in a matrix, wherein switching circuits of the luminous elements are connected to row and column bars, and each bar is coupled to a selecting circuit either directly or through a store element. Each switching circuit includes an analog memory, a comparator with a constant threshold level, and a power switch. The memory is preferably a capacitor which is connected - over a switching element - between the respective row bar and column bar. A function generator supplying a monotonously varying periodic signal is connected to the bars that are directly connected to the capacitors whereas a video-signal transmitter is connected to the bars that are linked to the switching elements.
