Plasma Panel Display Modules
240 Character Display with Drive Electronics
FEATURES
• 240 (6 x 40) alphanumeric characters (5 x 7 dot matrix)
• 0.14 W x .26 H character size
• High brightness (100 foot lamberts typical)
• Controller Board available with parallel and RS232 inputs
• Wide viewing angle (150°)
• Easily interfaced
• Compact size
The APD-240M026A display module displays up to 240
alphanumeric 5 x 7 dot matrix characters arranged in 6 lines
of 40 characters each. The module includes drive electron-
ics and is easily interfaced to CRT controllers.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The APD-240M026A consists of a DC plasma panel display
and drive circuitry to accept serially entered row data and
generate the required cathode and anode signals to display
the desired information. The module displays information in
a row scanning mode; that is, row by row beginning at the
top, with each character being 5 dots wide, and with 40
characters per row, 200 bits of dot information per row is
supplied to the module as serial data. When all 200 bits of
row information have been loaded, the data will be
displayed. This process is repeated until all 42 rows have
been scanned in succession. All inputs are TTL compatible.
