Control basics 
The EL panel has 320 transparent column electrodes crossing 256 row 
electrodes in an X-Y fashion.  Light is emitted when an AC voltage is applied at 
a row-column intersection.  The display operation is based on the symmetric, 
line at a time data addressing scheme which is synchronized by the external 
VS,  HS, and video clock input signals. The signal inputs are HCT compatible 
with 100 
Ω series resistors. 
Power Input 
The input voltages needed are the +5 V input (Vcc1) for the logic and the 
+11…+30V input (Vcc2) for the DC/DC converter. All high voltages required 
for display glass access are generated internally. 
 
Display Features  
Luminance Control
 
The luminance of the display can be adjusted from below 10% up to full 
brightness by a 50 k
Ω external logarithmic potentiometer between LCa and 
LCb control inputs (J2/1 and /2). The control function is achieved by sinking a 
small current from LCa to LCb (when open, the voltages are at 5V and 0V 
respectively). If the two inputs are left disconnected, the brightness is at its 
maximum level.  
Two-Bits-Parallel 
For reduction of data clock frequency, it is possible to input the data of two 
pixels per pixel clock. This feature is selected with DCONFIG jumper (PS1/2). If 
the jumper is set, data for even columns is input in VID and data for odd 
columns is input in TVID. If jumper is open, data is input normally to VID only. 
Self Test
  
When SELFEST jumper (PS1/1) is set, the video data at VID and TVID are 
displayed asynchronously without the use of any timing signals.
