Abstract
A relatively low cost, portable, low complexity, low power helmet mounted display using an electroluminescent display and associated drive circuitry configured and interconnected to take advantage of our ability to provide a -180 V and +240 V output to a row driver from a single -180 V and an already existing +60 V Supply, thus eliminating size, weight and expense of supplying a separate 240 V power supply. The +60 V power supply is already supplying the +60 V to the column driver circuitry. Also included is a column driver with a direct analog interface with an input buffer, the buffer including a polarity inverter and an adder for selectively inverting the external analog signal and adding a DC voltage.
