Description
The DLR/DLO/DLG3416 is a four character 5 x 7 dot matrix display module with a built-in CMOS integ rated circuit.
The integrat ed circuit contains memory, ASCII ROM decoder, multiplexing circuitry and drivers. Data entry is asyn-
chronous and can be random. A display system can be built using any number of DLX3416s since each digit can be
addressed independentl y and will continue to display the character last stored until replaced by another.
System interconnection is very straightforward. The least significant two addre ss bits (A0, A1) are normally connected
to the like-named inputs of all displays in the system. With four chip enables, four displays (16 characters) can easily
be interconnected without a decoder.
Data lines are connected to all DLX3416s directly and in parallel, as is the write line (WR). The display will then
behave as a write-only memory.
The cursor function causes all dots of a digit position to i lluminate at half b rightness. The cursor is not a charact er, and
when removed the previously displayed character will reappear.
The DLX3416 has several fe atures superior to competitive devices. True ’’blanking“ allows the designer to dim the dis -
play for more flexibility of display presentation. Finally the CLR clear function will clear the cursor RAM and the ASCII
character RAM simultaneously.
The character set consists of 128 sp ec ial ASCII characters for English, German, Italian, Sw edish, Danish, and Norwe-
gian.
All products are subjected to out-goi ng AQL’s of 0.25% for brightness matching, visual alignment and dimensions,
0.065% for electrical and functional.

Loading Data
Setting the chip enable (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4) to their
true state will enable loading. The desired data code
(D0-D6) and digit address (A0, A1) must be held stable
during the write cycle for storing new data.
Data entry may be asynchronous and random. Digit 0 is
defined as right hand digit wi th A1=A2=0.
To clear the entire internal four-digit memory hold the
clear (CLR) low for 1.0 ms. All illuminated dots will be
turned off within one complete display multiplex cycle,
1.0 ms minimum. The clear function will clear both the
ASCII RAM and the cursor RAM.
Loading Cursor
Setting the chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4) and
cursor select (CU) to their true state will enable cursor
loading. A write (WR) pulse will now store or remove a
cursor into the digit location addressed by A0, A1, as
defined in data entry. A cursor will be stored if D0=1 and
will removed if D0=0. The cursor (CU) pulse width sh ould
not be less than the write (WR) pulse or erroneous data
may appear in the display.
If the cursor is not required, the cursor enable signal
(CUE) may be tied low to disable the cursor function. For
a flashing cursor, simply pulse CUE. If the cursor has
been loaded to any or all positions in the display, then
CUE will control whether the cursor(s) or the characters
will appear. CUE does not affect the contents of cursor
memory.
Display Blanking
Blank the display by loading a blank or space into each
digit of the display or by using the (BL) display blank input .
Setting the (BL) input low does not affect the contents of
either data or cursor memory. A flashing display can be
achieved by pulsing (BL). A flashing circuit can be
constructed using a 555 a stable multivibrator. Figure 4
illustrates a circuit in which varying R2 (100K~10K) will
have a flash rate of 1.0 Hz~10 Hz.
The display can be dimmed by pulsing (BL) line at a
frequency sufficie ntly f ast to no t in ter fere with the inte rnal
clock. The dimming signal frequency should be 2.5 kHz or
higher. Dimming the display also reduces power
consumption.
An example of a simple dimming circuit using a 556 is
illustrated in Figure 5. Adjusting potentiometer R3 will dim
the display by changing the blanking pulse duty cycle.

Electrical and Mechanical Considerations
Voltage Transient Suppression
We recommend that the same power supply be used for the dis-
play and the components that interface with the display to avoid
logic inputs highe r than VCC. Additionally, the LEDs may cause
transients in the power supply lin e while they change display
states. Th e common pr actice is to place . 01 mF capa citors clos e to
the displays across VCC and GND, one for each display, and one
10 mF capacitor for every second display.
ESD Protection
The silicon gate CMOS IC of the DLX3416 is quite resistant to
ESD damage and capable of withstanding discharges greater than
2.0 kV. However, take all the standard precautions, normal for
CMOS components. These include properly grounding personnel,
tools, tables, and transport carriers that come in contact with
unshielded parts. If these conditions are not, or cannot be met,
keep the leads of the device shorted together or the parts in
anti-static packaging.
Soldering Considerations
The DLX3416 can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a
grounded iron set to 260°C.
Wave soldering is also possible following these conditions: Pre-
heat that does n ot e xceed 93°C on t he solder side of t he PC boar d
or a package surface temperature of 85°C. Water soluble organic
acid flux (except carboxylic acid) or rosin-based RMA flux without
alcohol can be used.
Wave temperatur e of 245 °C ±5°C with a dwel l be tween 1. 5 sec. to
3.0 sec. Exposure to the wave should not exceed temperatures
above 260°C for five seconds at 0.063" below the seating plane.
The packages should not be immersed in the wave.
Post Solder Cleaning Procedures
The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.I. water (60 °C) for
less than 15 minutes. Addition of mild saponifiers is acceptable.
Do not use commercial dishwasher detergents.
For f aster cleaning , solv ents ma y be used. Carefully select an y sol-
vent as some may chemic ally atta c k the n ylon pa c kag e . Maximum
exposure should not exceed two minutes at elevated tempera-
tures. Accep table solvents are TF (trich orot ribl uore thane ), TA, 111
Trichloroethane, and unheated acetone.
Note:
Acceptable commercial solvents are: Basic TF, Arklone, P.
Genesolv, D. Genesolv DA, Blaco-Tron TF and Blaco-Tron TA.
Unacceptab le solvents conta in alco hol, meth anol , methylene chlo-
ride, ethanol, TP35, TC M, TMC, TM S+, TE, or TES. Si nce many com-
mercial mixtures exist, cont act a so lvent v en dor for chemical
composition inf ormation. Some major solvent manufacturers are:
Allied Chemical Corporation, Specialty Chemical Division, Morris-
town, NJ; Baro n-Bl ak esl ee , Ch ic ago, IL; Dow Chemical , Midl and, MI ;
E.I. DuP ont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, DE.
For further information ref er to Appnotes 18 and 19 at
www.osram-os.com.
An alternative to soldering and cleaning the displa y modules is to use
sockets. Standard pin DIP sockets .600" wide with 0.100" centers
work well for single displays . Multiple display assemblies are best
handled b y lon ger S IP socke ts or DIP soc k e ts wh en a vailable fo r uni-
form pac kage alignment. Soc ket man ufa cturers are Aries Electronics ,
Inc., F renchtown, NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswich, NJ; Rob-
inson-Nugent, Ne w Alb an y, IN; and Samtec Elect roni c Ha rdw are ,
New Albany, IN.

Optical Considerations
The 0.270" high characters of the DLX3416 gives readability up to
eight feet. Proper filter selection enhances readability over this dis-
tance.
Filters enhance the contrast ratio between a lit LED and the char-
acter background intensifying the discrimination of different char-
acters. The only limitation is cost. Take into consideration the
ambient lighting environment for the best cost/benefit ratio for fil-
ters.
Incandescent (wit h almost no g reen) or fluorescent (w ith almost no
red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of sunlight. Plas-
tic band-pass filter s are an in expensive and effective wa y to
strengthen contra st r at ios.
The DLR3416 is a stand ar d re d di splay and should be matched
with long wavelength pass filter in the 600 nm to 620 nm range.
The DLO3416 is a high efficiency red display and should be
matched with a long wavelength pass filter in the 470 nm to
590 nm range. The DLG3416 should be matched with a yel-
low-green band-pass filter that pea ks at 565 nm. For displays of
multiple colors, neutral density gray filters offer the best compro-
mise.
Additional contrast enhancement is gained by shading the dis-
plays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers offer the next
step up in contrast improvement. Plastic filters can be improved
further with anti-refle ctive coatings to re duce glare . The trad e-off is
fuzzy characters. Mounting the filters close to the display reduces
this effect. Take care not to ov erheat the plastic filter by allo wing for
proper air flow.
Optimal filter enhancements are gained by using circular polar-
ized, anti-reflective, band-pass filters. Circular polarizing further
enhances contrast by reducing the light that travels through the fil-
ter and reflects back off the display to less than 1%.
Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials. Some of
them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ; SGL Homa-
lite, Wilmington, DE; 3M Company, Visual Products Division, St.
Paul, MN; Polaroid Corporation, Polarizer Division, Cambridge,
MA; Marks Polarized Corporation, Deer Park, NY, Hoya Optics,
Inc., Fremont, CA.
One last note on mounting filters: recessing displays and bezel
assemblies is an inexpensive way to provide a shading effect in
overhead lighting situations. Several Bezel manufacturers are:
R.M.F. Products, Batavia, IL; Nobex Components, Griffith Plastic
Corp., Burlingame, CA; Photo Chemical Prod ucts of Califor nia,
Santa Monica, CA; .E.E.-Atlas, Van Nuys, CA.
