GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The APD-256G064-1 DC Plasma display offers viewing
qualities designers seek such as high contrast, viewing
angle of 150° minimum, and long distance readability.
It is bright (50 foot lamberts minimum) with characters and
graphics figures presented in a pleasing neon orange color
against a black background. Plasma is much more read-
able and eye-pleasing than liquid crystal or vacuum fluores-
cent displays and is filterable to red, amber, or neutral
density.
These plasma display panels are driven in a standard row -
column refresh method much like a CRT display. The
designer need only supply TTL level signals for SERIAL
DATA, DOT CLOCK, COLUMN LATCH, ROW DATA, ROW
CLOCK and DISPLAY ENABLE. The SERIAL DATA is
entered with the DOT CLOCK up to frequencies as high as
8mHz. After a row of 256 pixels is clocked in, the COLUMN
LATCH signal is toggled and the data is latched. At the time
the data is latched, the display is briefly disabled using the
DISPLAY ENABLE signal, then the row pointer is advanced
with the ROW CLOCK signal. Once each frame the ROW
DATA must be asserted to synchronize the column serial
data with the beginning row. The recommended scanning
frequency is approximately 70 Hz but may be as high as
200 Hz. The high clock rate on the data clock allows for
rapid refresh and maximum access time to the refresh ram.
