PASSIVE MATRIX THIN-FILM ELECTRO-LUMINESCENT DISPLAY

A passive-matrix, thin-film electro-luminescent display system includes a display having a substrate with organic layers and orthogonally arranged electrodes formed thereon. One or more display drivers: (i) receives an input image signal for addressing the light-emitting elements of the display; (ii) decomposes the signal into a low-resolution component signal and a high-resolution component signal, wherein the low-resolution component signal contains one half or less of the number of addressable locations as the high-resolution component signal; and (iii) that provides a drive signal for driving the display wherein the low-resolution component signal and the high-resolution component signal are independently provided to the display to form a combined image.
