Plasma Panel Display Modules
240 x 64 Graphics Display with ASCII Input Controller,
DC/DC Converter and Drive Circuitry
The APD-240G064 is a dot matrix graphic display with an
array of 240 x 64 pixels available. The module is composed of a
highly reliable DC plasma display, ASCII input graphics control-
ler, DC converter and drive circuitry which are assembled to form
a rugged, slim profile display sub-system.
Interface to the APD-240G064 is through a parallel or serial inter-
face. The interface allows for efficient handshaking and flow of
bi-directional data. Vishay Dale's patented open construction
display technology assures a stable, flicker free screen.
FEATURES
• 240 x 64 pixel array for bright and vivid graphics
• Parallel interface or RS-232 serial interface
• Powerful software commands make display integration
simple and efficient
• + 5 to + 24VDC display voltage
