Abstract

The distance between filamentary cathodes and a phosphor on an anode substrate can be reduced by shortening the distance between the filamentary cathodes and a grid. To obtain high luminance without loss of display quality, the present invention provides a vacuum fluorescent display (1) with a driver IC, comprising a display unit (3) provided with a phosphor layer on an anode substrate (2), a plurality of filamentary cathodes (5), a grid (4), a driver IC (6), and a filament support (7) for shielding the IC and supporting an end part of the filamentary cathodes. The end part of the filamentary cathodes is fixed to one short side of the vacuum fluorescent display at a long side of the filament support. Depressions are provided to a surface of the filament support, or slits are provided to the filament support.

Abstract

Luminance life can be enhanced in a vacuum fluorescent display that is driven according to a dynamic drive scheme and that uses a phosphor having remarkable luminance saturation. A drive method for a vacuum fluorescent display, having causing a phosphor layer formed on an anode to display under low-energy electron excitation by the dynamic driving, wherein the phosphor included in the phosphor layer is a phosphor in which the luminance increases when a pulse width is reduced under conditions in which the Du is kept the same in the dynamic driving, and in which, after a voltage is applied to the anode and the luminance of the phosphor is saturated, the time at which the luminance value decreases to 10% of the saturation luminance value following stoppage of the voltage application is 200 μsec or more; and wherein the pulse width and pulse repetition period in the dynamic driving are made variable in the direction of maintaining the initial luminance of the phosphor as driving time elapses.

Abstract

In a filament power supply circuit of a vacuum fluorescent display, an integration circuit is connected to a signal input terminal which receives a pulse signal having a magnitude corresponding to a DC power supply voltage. A comparison circuit compares an output voltage from the integration circuit with a reference voltage, and outputs a result. A first filament cathode connection terminal is connected to one terminal of the filament cathode of a vacuum fluorescent display and applies the DC power supply voltage to the one terminal. A second filament cathode connection terminal is connected to the other terminal of the filament cathode to ground the other terminal via a capacitive element. A three-terminal element includes first, second, and third terminals. The first terminal is connected to the first filament cathode connection terminal. The second terminal is grounded. The third terminal receives the output from the comparison circuit so that the path between the first terminal and the second terminal is switched in accordance with it.

Abstract

It is an object to provide an image display method and an image display device that can be configured to inexpensively make a display driving circuit small in size even if the number of gray scales increases. Display data (D) indicative of multiple gray scales are divided into a first bit group including a plurality of bits out of a bit sequence to compose the display data and a second bit group including a plurality of bits out of the bit sequence except bits to compose the first bit group, and the first and second bit groups are alternatively supplied to an input terminal. In a first interval (K1) set in a light emitting interval repeatedly allocated to a predetermined light emitting member (22), the predetermined light emitting member (22) is made to emit light with brightness gray scales corresponding to the first bit group. Further, in a second interval (K2) in the light emitting interval, the predetermined light emitting member (22) is made to emit light with relatively fine brightness gray scales corresponding to the second bit group. Even if the number of gray scales increases, a display driving control circuit (30) can be made inexpensive in cost and small in size.
