Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0149788A2] An improved display control system is disclosed which is capable of reducing the time necessary for executing its display operation. In this display control system, when a display memory (4) is to be accessed, its software supplies values of the X, Y coordinates of a display screen and these values are then converted into the physical addresses of the memory (4). For this purpose, a limit check function (33) is provided. Also, an X register (30) for setting up values on the X coordinate in a display unit (3A) may be formed by a counter, thereby eliminating the need for setting the values on the X coordinate each time. The display control system may also be capable of dealing with the change of a plurality of screen configurations in the above-mentioned X, Y coordinate system.
