Abstract
Abstract A luminescent display device comprising an electroluminescent element; an energy-responsive element (for example, a photoelectroconductive element) connected in series to said electroluminescent element so that said energy-responsive element controls the bias voltage to said electroluminescent element in response to input energy, thereby controlling the luminescent output from said device; and means for selectively separating a portion of the wave form of the luminescent output, thereby to increase the sensitivity of said device and to make the luminescent output controllable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
35 words
A luminescent display device as defined in claim 1, wherein said means for controlling said DC voltage is an energy-responsive element, and said AC voltage is applied to said electroluminescent element through a capacitive element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
33 words
