  • Device for storing and displaying graphic information
    Patent number: 4442503
    Abstract: A device for storing and displaying graphic information having a storage unit for storing both blocks and rows of data and retrieving rows of data. The storage unit consists of two storage segments, with eight storage modules each, which can operate in an interleaved mode. This permits two-dimensional addressing which consists of distributing the individual elements of a data block over the various separately addressable modules of the storage unit so that no one module contains more than one element of the data block, and that all elements of the data block can be read out in one cycle through simultaneous access of all of the storage modules.
