55,423 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A power saving voltage drive circuit for a TFEL edge emitter device of the type having a plurality of pixels, with each pixel having a first terminal and all pixels on a device sharing a common second terminal, is comprised of a demultiplexing channel driver being selectively connected to the second terminal. A bidirectional switch selectively connects one of the first terminals to a source of voltage thereby enabling current to flow into and out of the pixel. A transformer has a primary winding connected between the first terminal and the bidirectional switch for enabling the pixel to charge to an operating voltage, and a secondary winding connected in series with a diode across the source voltage and ground for limiting the value of that operating voltage. The bidirectional switch is operated so that a substantial portion of the energy used to charge the pixel is returned to the source of voltage at the end of the pulse duration.
