<p>A display controller employs timing signals to control a display on a screen of a display device in respect of each of a plurality of pixel unit regions (R) as is known. However, the overall area of the display is effectively sub-divided into fixed data areas in which the data to be displayed are fixed and variable data areas in which the data to be displayed can be varied. A first ROM (3) provides, in relation to each of the unit regions (R), an area flag signal (F) indicative of whether the unit region is in the fixed data area or in the variable data area. This first ROM (3) stores fixed data representing the data to be displayed when the unit region is in the fixed data area as well as address data to access a RAM (4), which stores variable data representing the data to be displayed in the variable data area. A second ROM (6) receives the fixed data or the variable data, depending on the flag signal, and generates display pattern data held by a latching circuit (7) which drives the display device.</p> |
