Plasma Display Modules
128 x 32 Graphics Display with
Drive Electronics and TTL Level Data Interface
FEATURES
• TTL level video interface
• Large characters
• Highly visible for long distance viewing
• > 30:1 contrast ratio
• Bright and pleasant neon orange color
• Slim profile
• Very affordable
The APD-128G032 has been designed to offer high
brightness and superior viewing aesthetics in a package that
is very affordable. This display is ideal for low to medium
level information content messages and would be ideal for
applications such as arcade games, process control, POS
terminals, medical equipment, message centers and ATM
machines.
The APD-128G032 DC plasma display offers viewing
qualities designers seek such as high contrast, viewing angle
of 150° minimum and long distance readability. Its bright
(50 foot Lambert minimum) with characters and graphics
figures presented in a pleasing neon orange color against a
black background. Plasma is much more readable and eyepleasing than liquid crystal or vacuum fluorescent displays
and is filterable to red, amber or neutral density.
These plasma display panels are driven in a standard row column refresh method much like a CRT display. The
designer need only supply TTL level signals for SERIAL
DATA, DOT CLOCK, COLUMN LATCH, ROW DATA, ROW
CLOCK and DISPLAY ENABLE. The SERIAL DATA is
entered with the DOT CLOCK up to frequencies as high as
8MHz. After a row of 128 pixels is clocked in, the COLUMN
LATCH signal is toggled and the data is latched. At the time
the data is latched, the display is briefly disabled using the
DISPLAY ENABLE signal, then the row pointer is advanced
with the ROW CLOCK signal. Once each frame the ROW
DATA must be asserted to synchronize the column serial
data with the beginning row. The recommended scanning
frequency is approximately 70Hz, but may be as high as
200Hz. The high clock rate on the data clock allows for
rapid refresh and maximum access time to the refresh ram.

INTERFACE SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
DOT CLOCK - This signal enters the SERIAL DATA on each
low to high transition. A total of 128 DOT CLOCK transitions
must be present for each line of column/anode data.
SERIAL DATA - This signal presents the pixel data in positive
logic format. A logic one represents a lit pixel and a logic
zero represents an extinguished pixel. Data is entered from
right to left. The first pixel data entered will represent the left
most pixel in the row.
COLUMN LATCH - This signal latches the pixel data into
the driver outputs. When the COLUMN LATCH signal goes
to logic one the data entered previously will fall through to
the driver outputs. When the signal returns to a logic zero
the data is latched and the shift register is now ready to accept
the next row of data. Must be held low while entering new
SERIAL DATA.
DISPLAY ENABLE - This signal enables the output drivers.
Using a duty cycle control, this signal may also be used for
intensity control. The DISPLAY ENABLE must be at logic
zero before the COLUMN LATCH signal transitions. To avoid
display blurring, the ROW CLOCK signal should also
transition while DISPLAY ENABLE is a logic zero.
ROW DATA - This signal is the first line marker for the scan.
This input should be held high to correspond to the first row
of pixel data.
ROW CLOCK - This signal clocks ROW DATA on the falling
edge. The ROW CLOCK signal is repetitive and must be
present for proper scanning of the display module.
The APD-128G032 has an unique input protection circuit that
assures the column drivers stay blanked on power up. The
protection circuit unblanks the column drivers when the ROW
CLOCK signal begins (i.e the display begins scanning.)
