Inverse shadowing in electroluminescent displays

摘要

An apparatus for essentially eliminating variations in luminescence (i. e., inverse shadowing) in an electroluminescent (EL) display is disclosed. The pixels of an EL display are driven to their light emitting voltage with a signal having a rise time dv/dt at and above the pixel light emitting threshold voltage which is independent of the number of pixels ON in each display row. The result is that each ON pixel in the display exhibits substantially the same luminescence.
