Abstract
A display system is realized by setting virtual units on a screen display section constructed with nine display units and repeatedly splitting the screen into four portions, allocating virtual addresses each expressed with a binary value for each split level to each split unit of the screen (area). Thus, by setting the virtual units, the screen can be split into two portions (into four portions on the whole) even if there are physically only three display units along one side of the screen. For this reason, even when the screen is repeatedly split into four portions and each address is set to each of the split units to display an image, the image is not trimmed of any part thereof.
Claims7
A display system comprising:
- a display device having a screen comprising a plurality of display units, each display unit having a plurality of display elements arranged in a matrix and said plurality of display units being connected to each other;
- and
- a control unit operative to virtually repeat at least the following:
- (1) splitting said screen into four by not necessarily setting said display unit as a unit for splitting but setting said display element as a minimum unit for splitting;
- (2) setting a virtual address for each split unit each time when said screen is split into four;
- (3) identifying this virtual address, giving display data to be displayed to a virtual unit having the corresponding virtual address;
- and
- (4) displaying an image on a part or all of said display unit.
