Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for driving an electro-optic converter assembly with an information signal. The method includes the steps of disposing a resistor having a resistance substantially equal to a resistance of the electro-optic converter adjacent the electro-optic converter, coupling the electro-optic converter and resistor together, in series, to form a current loop, driving the electro-optical converter end of the current loop with the information signal and driving the resistor end of the current loop with an opposite polarity of the information signal.
