  • Patent number: 3981000
    Abstract: The display control system incorporated in an electronic desk top calculator includes mark suppression means for suppressing the display of a mark or marks such as a comma associated with an insignificant digit or digits in addition to the zero suppression of the insignificant digit or digits in a digit position higher than the most significant digit to be displayed, and brightness of the display is improved and flicker is eliminated by holding the displayed information during a time period corresponding to more than one digit time, and overlapped displaying of the numeral, beat and noise are prevented by inserting blanking between adjacent display information signals applied to the displaying units.

    Inventors: Ichiro Sado, Mitsuaki Seki
  • Patent number: 3956744
    Abstract: A display (or printing) device is dynamically capable of displaying an output numeral from a register in a time division manner. The display device is controlled by a control circuitry adapted to provide a blank time between display times of adjacent digit places in a group of display units so that the decrease of display brightness, the display flicker, an overlapped display and instantaneous display disturbance and so on may be prevented. The control circuitry further adapts to suppress insignificant zero which is not to be displayed by the group of display units.
