 		 #133506 - slow decay
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Interesting idea, with that capacitor. Thanks, Richard.

A compromise between the decay time constant and refresh rate has to be made, though, especially in case of moving display.

A similar principle is used in CRTs (and to a certain degree, LCD matrix displays too). Even if not exactly multiplexed (scanned), it is a similar principle. The decay is provided by property of the phosphor.

So, an analogy for LED displays could be, using a white LED of the phosphor type, with a controlled decay time...

   What are the specs?            01/01/70 00:00      
   you are already scewed            01/01/70 00:00      
      any better suggestions?            01/01/70 00:00      
         are your LEDs capable of 200mA ?            01/01/70 00:00

               percieved does not matter            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Perception is everything            01/01/70 00:00      
               LEDs are extremely nonlinear, too!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I covered this            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I wrote -extremely non-linear-...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     that makes no sense            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Example with LTJ-811            01/01/70 00:00      
                           let the sunshine in            01/01/70 00:00      
                              LEDs appear the same in all conditions            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Err            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    actually we have one multiplexed, however            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    King of LEDS :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 mux vs. pulsed            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    better ask ERIK ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       well, this is not so 'new'            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       more bright than outdoor....            01/01/70 00:00      
   why I want to multiplex            01/01/70 00:00      
      assumption?            01/01/70 00:00      
         the way multiplexing works            01/01/70 00:00      
            what is required?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Requirements are what you should analyze            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Backwards?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     low-side cap, low-side NPN            01/01/70 00:00      
                        One-bit memory == DC filter ???            01/01/70 00:00      
                           slow decay            01/01/70 00:00      
                              you can have NONE            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 are you sure?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    yes, I am, yes I have            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I agree with Erik ... at least somewhat            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    I am still CURIOUS            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       it's like a camera flash            01/01/70 00:00

   does the A6278 LED driver multiplex too?            01/01/70 00:00      
      if you want to make a nonmultiplexed display...            01/01/70 00:00      
         that clears up a lot            01/01/70 00:00      
            sorry            01/01/70 00:00
