Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device that displays information including characters, numbers, symbols, and the like.

(B) Background of the Technology Currently, cathode ray tubes are mainly used as display devices, and in addition to displaying characters, numbers, symbols, etc. (hereinafter referred to as characters, etc.), graphics 9 images are also displayed.

By the way, when displaying characters, etc., it is desirable to select a character arrangement with a two-character spacing depending on the display content to make it easy to see and to prevent misrecognition.

(C) Prior art and problems With conventional display devices, the operator is limited to the keyboard, the characters cannot be arranged diagonally on the display screen, and the character spacing is fixed at a constant value, so it is not possible to arrange characters diagonally on the display screen. It was not possible to choose.

(D) Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a display device that can display a group of characters in any position, in any arrangement direction, and at any character interval. do.

(E) Structure and object of the invention According to the invention, there is provided a character input device, and a first storage unit that stores attribute information and character arrangement information of characters input from the character input device.

a coordinate input device for instructing a display start position of characters to be displayed on a display device; a calculation unit for calculating a character display interval based on the coordinate values input from the coordinate input device; and the first storage unit. a character pattern generation device that receives the stored character code and generates character pattern information corresponding to the character attribute; and the character pattern information output from the character pattern generation device is output from the coordinate input device and the calculation unit. Based on the character display start position coordinate values and character display interval information, a second storage section is stored in a predetermined storage area, and a character corresponding to the character pattern information stored in the second storage section is stored in a predetermined storage area. This is achieved by providing a display device characterized by comprising a display unit having a display surface for displaying images.

(F) Examples of the invention Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, where K is a character input device such as a keyboard, and Ml is a memory that stores character attribute information (character code, character size, font) and layout type (character arrangement). , G is a character pattern generation section, T is a coordinate input device such as a tablet, P is a calculation section, Ml is an image memory device,
D is a display section.

The operator stores the text to be displayed using the character input device.

In the one-allocation type, a dedicated key is provided on the keyboard, and when a dedicated key is pressed, for example, as shown in Table 1, a code corresponding to the pressed key is stored in a register in the storage section Ml.

Table 1, Figure 2 shows the above-mentioned layout types with their codes attached.

Also, since the coordinate values of the first character area and the second character area are input from the coordinate input device T, character spacing and Calculate the display position of the display characters after the third character.

Therefore, the character pattern output from the character pattern generator G is stored in the storage area corresponding to the character display position calculated by the calculation unit P of the image memory device M2.

In this way, the character code input by the operator from the character input bag WK is stored as a character pattern in the storage area corresponding to the display area of the image memory device M.

The character pattern stored in the image memory device M2 is displayed in the second display area of the display screen corresponding to the storage area.

(G) Effects of the Invention As described above, in the display device according to the present invention, since the display position 2 of display characters and the character spacing can be specified, the display is easy to see and misunderstandings are less likely to occur.
