Abstract
A method and a wiring system for driving an AC electroluminescent display (C11, C12, C21, C22) based on the thin film technique and comprising a bi-dimensional matrix (X1, X2; Y1, Y2) consisting of X and Y electrodes, wherein line selection pulses are alternatingly applied to the X electrodes (X1, X2) and column modulation pulses corresponding to the desired luminance are applied to the Y electrodes (Y1, Y2). According to the invention, at least some of the display elements (C11, C12, C21, C22) are charged to a maximum basic voltage of variable polarity, which basic voltage has been selected so that the line selection pulses or the column modulation pulses alone are not sufficient to ignite any display element (C11, C12, C21, C22). The line selection and column modulation voltages are superimposed on the basic voltage, which voltages have been selected so that only the sum of the basic voltage, the line selection voltage (URM), and the column modulation voltage (USM) can bring each element to be selected (C11, C12, C21, C22) to the display state. In the solution in accordance with the invention, the withstand voltage required both from the line drive circuits and from the column drive circuits is only equal to the maximum value of the modulation voltages, about 30 V.
