DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR USE IN DESK TOP COMPUTERS

摘要

A display system for use in a serial-type desk top computer having a recirculating shift register and a plurality of cold-cathode gas readout tubes adapted to indicate information stored in the register sequentially. The system includes in combination a clock pulse generator operating the register, incremental and decremental counters connected to receive the output of the pulse generator, a coincidence circuit receiving the outputs of the register and both counters at its input side and providing a signal to light a corresponding one of the tubes so that the information may be displayed on the tubes from the most significant character to the least significant character successively for a display period of time sufficiently long to be visually recognized for each character being displayed thereon.
