Characters are displayed on the screen of a cathode ray tube. The cathode ray tube electron beam is deflected in a trace representing the character to be displayed by sequentially applying various waveforms to the cathode ray tube deflection circuit. Digital control circuitry including a read only memory having segment deflection commands for each character to be displayed, shift registers set by the deflection commands, and AND gates enabled by the shift registers control the sequential application of the various waveforms to the deflection circuit. An additional shift register set by the deflection commands of the read only memory, a single shot multivibrator, and an associated AND gate control the intensity of the electron beam during the trace.
