Patent number: 8913062Abstract: A display device includes an operation portion, a display portion, a character designating portion, and a display control portion. The display control portion displays the at least one character on the display portion. The display control portion displays, in a case where the at least one character displayed on the display portion includes a predetermined special character and the number of at least one display lines is not less than a threshold value, a dot pattern for an alternate character instead of a dot pattern for the special character. The display control portion changes, in a case where a designated character is the alternate character, the dot pattern for the designated character displayed on the display portion to the dot pattern for the special character.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomoki Miyashita, Hidekazu Ishii, Nako Yoshimura

Patent number: 7525876Abstract: The electric apparatus performs time display that is optimal for a user, without need of operations for switching time display by use of the 12-hour system and 24-hour system. In a tape printer, a keyboard section and a CPU are connected to each other via any one of a plurality of solder points A, B, and C. If the solder point is “A” (YES at S103), an hour system flag is set to “OFF” (S105). If the solder point is not “A” (NO at S103), the hour system flag is set to “ON” (S107). If the hour system flag is OFF, a target country (target district) of the keyboard section is “USA”, so that time is displayed in the 12-hour system on a liquid crystal display section, while if the hour system flag is ON, the target country (target district) of the keyboard section is not “USA”, so that time is displayed in the 24-hour system on the liquid crystal display section.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2007Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoki Tanjima, Hidekazu Ishii, Nako Yoshimura
