Abstract: A discrete circuit component comprises a circuit component die having a first electrode and a second electrode. A surface of a first substrate has an electrically-conductive trace electrically connected to the first electrode of the circuit component die, and a surface of a second substrate also has an electrically-conductive trace electrically connected to the second electrode of the circuit component die. A first terminal electrode is electrically connected to the conductive trace of the first substrate, surface of the first terminal electrode is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the conductive trace of the first substrate. A second terminal electrode is electrically connected to the conductive trace of the second substrate, and surface of the second terminal electrode is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the conductive trace of the second substrate. The first and second substrates are parallel to each other and encloses the circuit component die.

Abstract: A driving system and its corresponding driving scheme for electroluminescence displays that employs the principle of electric charge conservation and recycling in order to reduce switching current requirement against the system power source. In an electroluminescence display of a matrix of electroluminescence elements arrayed in rows and columns, wherein anodes of the electroluminescence elements on each row being electrically connected to a corresponding anode line, and cathodes of the electroluminescence elements on each column being electrically connected to a corresponding cathode line, a driving system for driving said electroluminescence display comprises a row/column control circuit for lighting at least one of said electroluminescence elements by establishing an electrical route across the power source and the ground in a driving scheme. The driving scheme sequentially scans each of the cathode lines while simultaneously drives at least one of the anode lines during each scanning.
