Abstract: A thin film magnetic head including conductor coils, a plurality of insulating layers to interpose and insulate the conductor coils and a magnetic gap layer between upper and lower magnetic cores, in which another insulating layer is provided on a stepped region formed by end faces of the plurality of insulating layers.

Abstract: An image memory controller having a first address signal generation means for generating a first address signal in response to a state signal representing the operational state of a printer. The first address signal corresponds to a location in an image memory. A second address signal generation means generates a second address signal for refreshing the image memory and a third address signal generation means generates a third address signal used for rewriting at least part of data stored in the image memory. An address signal selection means selectively delivers any of the first, second, and third address signals to the image memory.

Abstract: A display control system is provided which includes window management circuits having a plurality of area setting registers for individually setting a plurality of window display areas on a display surface, and for judging sequentially for each window whether or not a display position on the display surface is contained in the area designated by the register. A window display priority designation circuit is also provided having a plurality of priority setting registers for setting display priority of each window, and for determining which window has higher priority among a plurality of windows which are determined as containing the present display position on the basis of the content of the priority setting register and the result of a determination of which windows contain the present display position made by the window management circuit.
