<p>A display controller (10) can display a cursor - (24) on either of a CRT display device (11 a) and a liquid crystal display device (11 b) composed of an Dpper and a lower display blocks (A and B) scanned n parallel. The display controller (10) allows the display position of the cursor (24) to be designated n the same manner irrespective of the kind of the display device used. The display controller (10) forms display data in a time-sharing manner for each of the upper and lower display blocks (A and B) when the liquid crystal display device (11b) is used. The thus formed display data is separated into two groups of data (LDa and LDb) corresponding respec- :ively to the upper and lower display blocks (A and B), which are then supplied to the liquid crystal display device (11b) in parallel. The display controller (10) comprises two registers (23 and 25) for storing X-and Y-coordinate of a cursor display position and horizontal and vertical counters (15 and 20) whose output represent horizontal and vertical scanning positions, respectively. In the case of the liquid crystal display device (11b), a value corresponding to the number of horizontal lines of the upper display block (A) is added to the output of the vertical counter (20) by an adder (21) to produce data (AV) representative a vertical position of a horizontal line with respective to which the display data should be formed. A cursor pattern signal (CPS,, CPS2) is also formed in a time-sharing manner from a cursor pattern stored in a memory (28, 29) in accordance with the comparison result of the output of the horizontal counter (15) and the X-coordinate and the difference between the output of the adder (21) and the Y-coordinate.</p> |
