INCANDESCENT, FLAT SCREEN, VIDEO DISPLAY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A memory and driver circuit for each lamp of a flat screen video display apparatus which comprises a plurality of addressable incandescent lamps arranged in an X-Y matrix is provided. The gray scale visual effect of the video information being presented comes as a result of controlling the length of time of illumination of each lamp. Each of the lamps is connected in series with a source of power and a switchable solid state device such as an SCR or a transistor. When the source of power is an alternating current source where each of the pulses has its initial slope always in the same sense with respect to zero, the circuit is arranged with negative-going video information so that the lamps are held off -- i.e., black -- in the presence of a video signal above a threshold, and are thereafter turned on. Phase modulation is thereby provided. When the source of power is direct current, each lamp is illuminated when there is a video signal intended for that lamp and above a predetermined reference level. Pulse width modulation is provided in this case.
