Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0201267A2] A row processor unit for a bit-map, raster scan display performs per-scan-line frame buffer management functions. A portion of the frame buffer memory which is not used for display contains load/decode parameters. These parameters are accessed by the row processor unit during the horizontal blanking interval and used for display and data movement operations during the refreshing of the following scan line. A pattern memory provides pixel masks for scrolling as well as providing cursor patterns.
