The APD-256G064 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 readable and eye-pleasing than liquid crystal or vacuum fluorescent 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.
