Abstract:
A self shift display panel driving system in which a discharge spot produced by written information is shifted by sequential switching of an impression voltage; a stationary display of the written information by the discharge spot is provided by the application of the impression voltage to a predetermined electrode; and the shift action is effected at high speed and stabilized by the impression of a voltage higher than a sustain voltage for the stationary display.
Abstract:
A plasma display panel in which two transparent base plates are assembled together to define a discharge gas space therebetween. On each transparent base plate, a plurality of strip-like main electrodes are provided and a dielectric layer is formed to cover them and, further, third electrodes are each provided between adjacent ones of the main electrodes. The two transparent base plates are assembled together in opposing relation to each other in such a manner that their main electrodes and third electrodes are disposed substantially perpendicuar to each other in the form of a matrix. By impressing a voltage to selected ones of the main electrodes of the both transparent base plates, a discharge spot is produced at their intersecting point to provide a display. The discharge spot becomes enlarged or reduced or extends in a certain direction according to the polarity of a voltage impressed between the third electrodes of both transparent base plates and to the selection of the third electrodes to be supplied with the voltage. The discharge spot can be shifted in either direction of the row and column of the matrix.
Abstract:
Selective erasing capability is provided in a display system having a photochromic member upon which information is written by an electron beam which addresses a selected portion of a phosphor layer. Light from the addressed portion of the phosphor changes the optical density of the photochromic glass. The information is selectively erased from the photochromic member by light from a gas plasma panel having gas-filled cells. These cells emit predominantly infrared light which bleaches the photochromic glass to erase the information. The gas plasma panel is maintained at a threshold of excitation by an applied AC voltage. Specific cells are addressed by light from the phosphor layer. The electron beam selects a portion of the phosphor layer and light from this portion selectively excites the desired cell, or cells.
Abstract:
In a plasma display panel comprising a center glass plate having plurality of openings each containing luminous gas, a pair of outer glass walls on the opposite sides of the center glass plate for sealing the gas and a plurality of electrodes on the outer surfaces of the outer glass walls for exciting the luminous gas, the openings are in the form of blind openings opened on the opposite surfaces of the center glass plates and are sealed with gasses of different discharge colors, thus providing a multicolor display panel.
Abstract:
THERE IS DISCLOSED A HIGH POWER SQUARE WAVE SUSTAINING GENERATOR SYSTEM FOR A GAS DISCHARGE PANEL PARTICULARLY OF THE TYPE IN WHICH DISCHARGE SITES IN A THIN GASEOUS DISCHARGE MEDIUM CONFINED IN A SPACE BETWEEN A PAIR OF DIELECTRIC CHARGE STORAGE MEMBERS ARE DEFINED BY A PAIR OF MATRIX CONDUCTOR ARRAYS. THYRISTOR PAIRS ARE SERIES CONNECTED ACROSS A HIGH DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE POTENTIAL SOURCE WITH AN INTERMEDIATE POINT BETWEEN THE THYRISTOR PAIR BEING CONNECTED TO CONDUCTORS OF ONE OF THE ARRAYS. A SECOND THRYSTOR PAIR IS SERIES CONNECTED ACROSS A SECOND SOURCE OF HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT POTENTIAL OF OPPOSITE POLARITY TO THAT OF THE FIRST SOURCE. A FREE-RUNNING MULTIVIBRATOR OPERATING AT DOUBLE THE DESIRED FREQUENCY OF OUTPUT OF SQUARE WAVES HAS ITS OUTPUT DIVIDED BY A BISTABLE FLIP-FLOP CIRCUIT AND TWO OUTPUT VOLTAGES (EACH THE COMPLEMENT OF THE OTHER) FROM THE FLIP-FLOP ARE FED TO ONE-SHOT MULTIVIBRATORS AND THE OUTPUT OF THE ONE-SHOT MULTIVIBRATORS ARE USED AS CONTROL OR TRIGGER POTENTIALS FOR THE GATE ELECTRODES OF THE THYRISTORS. SUCH CONTROL POTENTIALS ARE APPLIED AS TRIGGER POTENTIALS TO THE GATE ELECTRODE OF ONE THYRISTOR OF A PAIR TO CAUSE IT TO CONDUCT AND A BLOCKING POTENTIAL IS APPLIED TO THE GATE ELECTRODE OF THE OTHER OF THE THYRISTORS TO MAINTAIN IT NONCONDUCTIVE WHEREBY CURRENT FLOWS FROM THE FIRST HIGH VOLTAGE SOURCE TO THE CAPACITIVE LOAD THROUGH THE CONDUCTIVE THYRISTOR AND ON APPLICATION OF A TRIGGER POTENTIAL TO THE SECOND THYRISTOR OF THE PAIR AND A BLOCKING POTENTIAL TO THE FORMERLY CONDUCTING THYRISTOR, THE SECOND THYRISTOR OF THE SERIES PAIR IS CAUSED TO CONDUCT THEREBY DISCHARGING CURRENT FROM THE LOAD. THE OTHER CONDUCTOR ARRAY OF THE PAIR IS SUPPLIED WITH SQUARE WAVE POTENTIALS IN A SIMILAR MANNER BUT OF OPPOSITE POLARITY. TRANSFORMERS HAVING DOUBLE SECONDARIES ARE USED TO SIMULTANEOUSLY SUPPLY TRIGGER POTENTIALS TO THE GATE ELECTRODES OF THE THYRISTORS WHICH ARE DESIRED TO BE CONDUCTIVE TO THEREBY SUPPLY CHARGING CURRENT TO THE PANEL AND A BLOCKING POTENTIAL TO THE GATE ELECTRODE OF THE OTHER THYRISTORS TO RENDER THEM NONCONDUCTIVE. A PROTECTION CIRCUIT IS ALSO PROVIDED IN THE EVENT BOTH THYRISTORS OF A SERIES PAIR ARE RENDERED CONDUCTIVE AT THE SAME TIME. IN ADDITION, THERE IS DISCLOSED A SERIES LOSSY INDUCTOR IN THE CIRCUIT TO THE CONDUCTOR ARRAYS TO LIMIT PEAK CURRENT AND RING CURRENTS TO THE LOAD. CONSULT THE SPECIFICATION FOR OTHER FEATURES AND DETAILS.
