A coded digital message is used for modulating a voltage supplying fluorescent tubes (5). The modulation is effected, either in frequency, or pulse duration synchronised on the network. In the first case a direct voltage is strobed and the fluorescent tubes (5) are supplied by this voltage, the strobing frequency ranging from single to double depending on the logical state of the signals constituting the message. In the second case, half-cycles on the network double frequency are applied to the fluorescent tubes (5) synchronised with the alternation of the network frequency, for a first logical state, and dephased for a second logical state. The receiver is an electronic label (7) comprising a photoelectric cell (70), a decoder, a microcontroller and a display (71). The invention is applicable particularly in the updating of electronic labels in a departmental store.

Selon l'invention, un message numérique codé sert à la modulation d'une tension d'alimentation de tubes fluorescents (5). La modulation s'effectue, soit en fréquence, soit en durée d'impulsions synchronisées sur le secteur. Dans le premier cas, on découpe une tension continue et on alimente les tubes fluorescents (5) par cette tension, la fréquence de découpage variant du simple au double selon l'état logique des signaux constituant le message. Dans le second cas, on applique aux tubes fluorescents (5) des demi-alternances à la fréquence double du secteur, en synchronisme avec la demi-période de la fréquence secteur, pour un premier état logique, et déphasées pour un second état logique. Le récepteur est une étiquette électronique (7) comprenant une cellule photoélectrique (70), un décodeur, un microcontrôleur et un affichage (71). Application notamment à la mise à jour d'étiquettes électroniques dans une surface de vente.
