  • Drive system for vacuum fluorescent display and method therefor
    Patent number: 6025821
    Abstract: The vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) system of the inventive invention includes a display matrix including an array of anodes, a processor, at least two anode drivers, and a grid driver to selectively activate the anodes of the display matrix. The system of the instant invention alternatingly disables some of the output gates of the two anode drivers so that the anodes in the outer columns of anodes associated with the activated grids are, preferably, pulled to ground, while the anodes in the inner columns of anodes of the activated grids may respond to the display data output from the anode driver output gates that are not currently disabled.
