Data processing display system - has main memory storage device comprising addressable storage locations storing multi-bit display words

摘要

A data processing display system comprises a display device including points; each capable of being selectively illuminated. A main memory storage device is included in the system and comprises addressable storage locations, each capable of storing a multi-bit display word. At least some of the addressable storage locations include in the aggregate a number of bits at least equal to the points of the display device. A display bit map of the desired image is thus capable of being stored and defined in at least some addressable storage locations.
