Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0272006A2] The controller comprises a refresh memory (23) which can be activated under the control of a window mode signal for selectively storing a character code or a map of graphic points in each video display cell, corresponding to the alpha-numeric character matrix. An auxiliary memory (33) then stores for each cell a code which is indicative of the alpha-numeric or graphic mode in accordance with which the cell has been recorded, whereby a series of windows which are recorded in different ways can be simultaneously displayed under control of a control unit (19) which sets up the windows. The controller can operate in window mode with a monochrome or colour display. A positive character generator (34) can be selected to display of the characters in black on a white background.
