Driver system of memory type gray-scale display panel
First Claim
1. In a driver system of a memory type display panel including a matrix of luminescent elements each having a bi-stable operation condition of lighting and non-lighting states with the lighting states beginning when a firing pulse is applied to the luminescent elements and continuing until an erase pulse is applied to the luminescent elements, in which a gray-scale luminance is provided to the display panel by the combination of a plurality of divided lighting periods, the lighting periods being provided in the lighting states of the luminescent elements, the improvement comprising circuit means for increasing or decreasing the respective widths of the divided lighting periods in correlation with each other to control the gray-scale luminance of the display panel.

Abstract
A driver system of a display panel including a matrix of luminescent elements with a bi-stable operation condition comprises a circuit arrangement for combining a plurality of divided lighting periods to provide a gray-scale display and a circuit arrangement for increasing or decreasing the respective widths of the divided lighting periods in correlation with each other, whereby a control of luminance with gray-scale is provided.
