Abstract: A variable phase shifter is improved in liquid crystal response characteristics by using a thin liquid crystal material as a dielectric substrate. The variable phase shifter includes two substrates disposed parallel to each other. The substrates have alignment layers on their mutually opposing inner surfaces. A liquid crystal layer is sealed in the area between the substrates. A transmission line is formed to meander on the inner surface of one of the substrates. A grounding conductor is formed on the inner surface of the substrate along the transmission line at a predetermined distance therefrom. External electrodes are formed at least in regions on the respective outer surfaces of the substrates, each of which regions corresponds to the gap between the transmission line and the grounding conductor. A bias voltage source applies a bias voltage between the upper and lower external electrodes.

One of the areas can be expanded or contracted without expanding or contracting the other areas. One of the frame lines is designated by a cursor, for example, and the designated frame line is moved together with the cursor on the display. At this time, all the other frame lines connected to the designated frame line are automatically expanded or contracted to maintain the connection therebetween.

Abstract: A data processor for speedier processing of input data includes a data processing system for executing a text editing process and a text printing process by the time slice method and a preference control unit for selecting between the above processes. When data is entered into the processor, the entering process or text editing process is generally preferred to the text printing process. Therefore, no delay occurs in inputting data through a keyboard from data entry to its display. If desired, it is possible to prefer the text printing process to the text editing process.
