Abstract

L'invention concerne des enseignes lumineuses dans lesquelles l'affichage d'une information variable apparaít sur un support par l'alimentation sélective et/ou combinée de diodes électroluminescentes D ordonnées en une matrice Mm,n sur ledit support. The invention relates to illuminated signs in which the display of variable information appears on a support by the selective and / or combined supply of light-emitting diodes D ordered in a matrix M m, n on said support.

L'invention a pour objet un procédé électronique d'affi­ chage lumineux de l'information variable, remarquable en ce qu'il consiste à faire défiler de droite à gauche les caractères de l'information sur la longueur des lignes de la matrice Mm,n en opérant une alimentation sélective des diodes D, répétée successivement colonne par colonne. The subject of the invention is an electronic process for the luminous display of variable information, remarkable in that it consists in scrolling from right to left the characters of the information over the length of the lines of the matrix M m , n by operating a selective supply of diodes D, successively repeated column by column.

L'invention a également pour objet le dispositif électro­ nique destiné à mettre en oeuvre un tel procédé et dans lequel le support est constitué par la juxtaposition de n/8 cartes de diodes (D) ordonnées en matrices M′7,8. Chacune de ces cartes comporte sept registres à décalage (R₁, R₂,...R₇), un par ligne, dont chacune des sept entrées (E₁, E₂, ... E₇) reçoit le même signal qui a validé la ligne correspon­ dante de la première colonne de la carte précédente, et dont les huit sorties (S₁, S₂, ... S₈) de chacun sont reliés successivement aux diodes formant les huit éléments de matrice de la ligne qui lui est attitrée. The invention also relates to the electronic device intended to implement such a method and in which the support consists of the juxtaposition of n / 8 diode cards (D) ordered in arrays M ′ 7.8 . Each of these cards has seven shift registers (R₁, R₂, ... R₇), one per line, each of whose seven inputs (E₁, E₂, ... E₇) receives the same signal which validated the corresponding line of the first column of the previous card, and whose eight outputs (S₁, S₂, ... S₈) of each are successively connected to the diodes forming the eight matrix elements of the line assigned to it.
