Abstract
An apparatus is provided for modulating a conductive element in an FED device from a first level to a second level in which the charge on the display is conserved. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises an analog modulating circuit, a switching circuit, and a switch. The analog modulating circuit receives a feedback signal responsive to an actual row-column voltage difference and a target signal responsive to a desired row-column voltage difference and generates an output signal responsive to the feedback signal and the target signal. The switching circuit generates a switching signal responsive to the feedback signal, the target signal, and a bias signal. The switch connects a reference voltage to the output generated by the analog modulating circuit in response to the switching signal. In another embodiment, the apparatus has a primary modulator having a first input connected to a first signal representative of the second level, an output connected to the conductive element, and a second input connected to a first signal representative of the output; and a connector of a modifying voltage to the output, the connector having a first input connected to a second signal represent…
