Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display device that is used in a word processor or a calculator.

Visual display inserts, such as word processors, are usually rectangular and either tall or 111'L long. seconds 11
If you want to draw or plot a standard paper such as A4Z size or BII size horizontally, if you want to draw or plot the paper horizontally, then display the cover plate on the display device at once. can be displayed. However, if you draw or plot the same Al1-size or 84Z size paper vertically,
・When, -pages of do1 or cover f4=k cannot be displayed at once on the display device. This is inconvenient because it is not possible to check the progress of the Vj1 drawing or the overall tabulation prior to step 8).

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide J'MI with a display device for word processors, calculators, etc., which eliminates the inconvenience caused by the conventional display device being either vertically long or horizontally long.

That is, according to the present invention, there are provided two rectangular video displays movable between a vertical position and a horizontal position, a detection means for detecting the vertical and horizontal positions of the video display, and a detection means for detecting the vertical and horizontal positions of the video display. A reward gallery is provided that includes a control device for displaying a vertically long and horizontally long image on a video display according to the output.

With this configuration, for vertically long plots and tabulations, tables and figures with negative signs can be displayed by placing the video display in the vertical position, and for horizontally long plots and tables, the video display If the container is placed in a horizontal position, tables and figures with negative signs can be displayed.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rectangular video display l, which is normally positioned horizontally, is expanded so as to rotate 90 degrees in the direction indicated by arrow A. A detection unit 2 is provided at the lower right of the video display 1 to detect the orientation of the video display, ie, whether it is in a horizontal position as shown in FIG. 1 or in a vertical position as shown in FIG. The output of the detection device ``2'' is supplied to the control frame ``3'', and the control device ``3'' receives input from the key card or memory depending on the output of the detection device ``2''. It is output to the display 1 as is or after conversion.

That is, when in the position shown in FIG. 1, the control device 8 outputs the input to the display 1 as is. At this time, horizontally long standard paper, for example, Hegu or 84 size paper - negative sign information can be displayed horizontally.

Then, rotate the display 1t90 and place it at 16° as shown in FIG. For example, if the scanning line of the display 1 is horizontal in the state shown in FIG. 1, the scanning will be vertical in the state shown in FIG. 2, and the control device 3 will output the input as is to the display L. Then, the image turns sideways. Therefore, after converting the input to the control device: lj:, the wa0 coordinate,
Output to display l. Therefore, in this case, the information of the negative sign on a standard paper sheet that is vertically long can be displayed vertically.

In addition, instead of converting the coordinates of the input in the state shown in Fig. 2, the control rack @3 converts the input to the first
If the situation is as shown in the figure, the signal that should be input to the vertical deflection coil is input to the horizontal deflection coil, and its maximum deflection voltage is increased, and the signal that should be input to the horizontal deflection coil is input to the vertical deflection coil, and the signal that should be input to the horizontal deflection coil is input to the horizontal deflection coil. The display device l may be controlled so as to reduce the maximum deflection voltage, while the input sound may be outputted as is to the display device l. Therefore, in this case, even in the state shown in FIG. 2, the pallial line becomes horizontal.

FIG. 3 shows another method. The control device 6 uses the display device 5, which has the same length as the vertical display device, as a video display device.
According to the instruction, the display is performed in the portrait display format 7 or the vertically long display format 8. In this way, there is no need to physically rotate the display, and
The control device V does not need to perform coordinate conversion or change the direction of the scanning line of the display, and only needs to shift the display limits of the left and right or top and bottom of the screen, and its configuration is simple.
