Abstract

A display device having a display tube including a cold cathode, for example a PN emitter (PNE), has the terminals of the PN emitter (PNE) coupled between first terminals of a first (CR1) and a second (CR2) current mirror. The first current repeater (CR1) is connected to an output of an amplifier (AMP) whose feedback input (FI) is connected to second terminals of the first (CR1) and second (CR2) current mirrors.
