System zum Steuern der Anzeigezone für ein Plasmaanzeigegerät.

摘要

A display area control system having a function of switching a display mode and inhibiting alteration of the switched display mode in a plasma display apparatus is provided. When a screen of the selected display mode is smaller than a physical screen of the plasma display apparatus, the screen is displayed at the center of the physical screen of the plasma display apparatus. A data non-display area on the physical screen is displayed at a low luminance level in correspondence with a boundary display of a CRT display apparatus, so that a non- display area of an effective display screen can be clearly distinguished from the data non-display area.
