PASSIVE MATRIX THIN-FILM ELECTRO-LUMINESCENT DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A passive-matrix, thin-film electro-luminescent display system, comprising:
- a) a display including;
i) a substrate;
ii)a first electrode layer patterned to form lines along a first dimension of the substrate;
iii) one or more thin-film electro-luminescent layers, formed on the first electrode layer;
iv) a second electrode layer formed on the one or more thin-film electro-luminescent layer(s), wherein the second electrode layer is patterned to form lines along a second dimension of the substrate different from the first dimensioniv) wherein the intersection of the lines of the first and second electrode layers define individual light-emitting elements comprising an electro-luminescent unit; and
b) one or more display drivers thati) receives an input image signal for addressing the light-emitting elements of the display;
ii) decomposes the signal into a low-resolution component signal and a high-resolution component signal, wherein the low-resolution component signal contains one half or less of the number of addressable locations as the high-resolution component signal; and
iii) provides a drive signal for driving the display wherein the low-resolution component signal and the high-resolution component signal are independently provided to the display to form a combined image.

Abstract
A passive-matrix, thin-film electro-luminescent display system includes a display having a substrate with organic layers and orthogonally arranged electrodes formed thereon. One or more display drivers: (i) receives an input image signal for addressing the light-emitting elements of the display; (ii) decomposes the signal into a low-resolution component signal and a high-resolution component signal, wherein the low-resolution component signal contains one half or less of the number of addressable locations as the high-resolution component signal; and (iii) that provides a drive signal for driving the display wherein the low-resolution component signal and the high-resolution component signal are independently provided to the display to form a combined image.
