Abstract
Abstract Display device used to display a signal obtained by sampling and stored in a memory and recovered by interpolation points or interpolation vectors and in order to suppress the effect of light fluctuation of the interpolation segments (P) which represent horizontal or somewhat sloping portions of the light trace to be displayed, comprising processing means which, associated with each interpolation segment (P) which have a predetermined energy and are located on one line in one of the fields, for generating at least one and generally two further parallel, so-called anti-flicker segments (I A ) and (I B ) which have a two times weaker energy and are located in the other field, that is to say on one or two lines of the further field which lines enclose the relevant line in the first field.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A television-type interlaced display device in which a displayed signal includes scanning lines, alternate lines of which appear in one field and intervening lines of which appear in a following field, said display device comprising processing means, associated with segments (P) located on a line in a first field, for suppressing the effect of light fluctuations of segments of a light trace to be displayed, said processing means generating further parallel anti-flicker segments (I) which are located in two lines, respectively, of a second field following said first field, which two lines enclose the line in said first field containing said segments (P), characterized in that said display device further comprises means coupled to said processing means for making said processing means operative only when the occurrence of situations corresponding to the presence of horizontal sections in said light trace in one field, is detected.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A television-type interlaced display device in which a displayed signal includes scanning lines, alternate lines of which appear in one field and intervening lines of which appear in a following field, said display device comprising processing means, associated with segments (P) located on a line in a first field, for suppressing the effect of light fluctuations of segments of a light trace to be displayed, said processing means generating further parallel anti-flicker segments (I) which are located in two lines, respectively, of a second field following said first field, which two lines enclose the line in said first field containing said segments (P), characterized in that said display device further comprises means coupled to said processing means for making said processing means operative only when the occurrence of situations corresponding to the presence of horizontal sections in said light trace in one field, is detected.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said means for making said processing means operative includes a test path comprising a logic circuit which compares the positions of consecutive samples of the trace relative to a moving scanning line (L) and supplies a control indication signal for the processing means if the existence of one of said situations is determined from the result of said comparison.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A device as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the energy of the anti-flicker segment or segments are one-half the energy of the segments.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A television-type interlaced display digital oscilloscope, characterized in that it comprises a display device as claimed in claim 2.
