Matrix display having a delay line for sequential energization of the matrix input lines

Claim 1

IN AN INTELLIGENCE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, SCANNING MEANS INCLUDING A DISPLAY MATRIX HAVING AN INPUT OF PULSE SIGNALS FOR ONE SELECTED FIECTIONS, SAID SCANNING MEANS COMPRISING PULSE DELAYING MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID INPUT, SAID DELAYING MEANS CONSISTING OF A PLURALITY OF PASSIVE MEANS CONNECTED IN SERIES, AND DELAYING MEANS HAVING AN EFFECTIVE LENGTH EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE PULSE REPETITION TIME OF SAID INPUT OF INTELLIGENCE REPRESENTING SIGNALS, AND MEANS INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF PARALLEL CONDUCTIVE LINES TAPPING SAID DELAYING MEANS FOR ESTABLISHING AN INFORMATIONAL PATTERN OF SIGNAL DISPLAYS HAVING A PREDETERMINED RELATIONSHIP TO THE SIGNAL INPUT ACHIEVED BY SAID DELAYING MEANS, SAID TAPPING MEANS BEING EQUALLY SPACED SUCH THAT THE PULSE WIDTH OF SAID INPUT OF SAID INTELLIGENCE REPRESENTING SIGNALS IS LESS THAN THE DELAYING TIME BETWEEN SAID TAPPING MEANS, SAID PLURALITY OF PARALLEL CONDUCTING LINES TAPPING SAID DELAYING MEANS CONSISTING OF A FIRST RESISTIVE MEANS AND A SECOND RESISTIVE MEANS CONNECTED IN SERIES, SAID PARALLEL TAPPING MEANS BEING ARRANGED SUCH THAT THE FIRST RESISTIVE MEANS OF THE FIRST PLURALITY OF FIRST RESISTIVE MEANS IS HIGHER IN RESISTANCE VALUE THAN THE SUCCEEDING CORRESPONDING FIRST RESISTIVE MEANS, AND THE SECOND PLURALITY OF SECOND RESISTIVE MEANS CONSISTS OF SECOND RESISTIVE MEANS, ALL EQUAL IN RESISTANCE VALUE.
