Abstract
A drive network for a TFEL panel includes a series resonant drive circuit for producing pulses of a predetermined frequency, a transformer for coupling the drive circuit to a TFEL panel, and symmetrically driven push-pull row drivers, a plurality of which may be implemented on a single integrated circuit chip. The transformer includes switching means for alternately providing positive and negative high-voltage pulses for the row drivers on alternate frames of data. The network formed by the series resonant drive circuit and the TFEL panel is a series RLC circuit which is driven at its resonant frequency.
