Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1863005A2] A video display device comprises - a plurality of light emitting elements (1-1, 1-2, ..., 1-n) arranged in a matrix having rows and columns; - a plurality of first current modulators (2-1, 2-2, ..., 2-n), each of which is associated to one of said light emitting elements(1-1, 1-2, ..., 1-n), for drawing a feed current of programmable intensity (I D1 , I D2 , ..., I Dn ) for the associated light emitting element (1-1, 1-2, ..., 1-n) from a circuit node (3) associated to each of said columns; - a current generator (11) controlled by video data representative of desired luminosities (D1, D2, ..., Dn) of said light emitting elements for supplying a first current (I DATA ) to said circuit node (3), the intensity of which is representative of a desired luminosity (D1, D2, ..., Dn) of at least one of said light emitting elements (1-1, 1-2, ..., 1-n); the circuit node (3) having a specific voltage level when the intensity supplied by said current generator (11) is drawn from the current node (3) by the first current modulator (2-1, 2-2, ..., 2-n) associated to said at least one light emitting element(1-1, 1-2, ..., 1-n); - a second current modulator (10) for supplying a second current (I 10 ) to said circuit node (3); - a comparator (7) having inputs connected to said circuit node (3) and to a reference terminal which is constantly held at said specific voltage level and an output connected to a control input of said second current modulator (10), whereby the second current (I 10 ) from said second current modulator (10) is controlled so as to yield said specific voltage level at the circuit node (3).
