Abstract: An information display method displays a plurality of display frames arranged in a table on a display screen. Each of the display frames enables display of a plurality of information pieces, and a selected display frame is enlargeable, while non-selected display frames are reduced according to an enlargement ratio of the enlarged display frame. Each of information candidates to be displayed in respective display frames includes an attribute of a display priority and an attribute of a display character size, and an information display operation is carried out, based on a size of each of the display frames, by deciding the display priority and the display character size of each of the information candidates to be displayed in the respective display frames. Consequently, a large amount of information can be displayed, and easy operation can be realized.

Abstract: A Bezier curve constituting outline font data represents a curve by four coordinate values of a start point, an end point, and two control points. The curve is represented by two coordinates of the start point and the end point in collinear approximation, and by three coordinates of the start point, an intersecting point of two lines, and the end point in bi-linear approximation. In curve pattern approximation, when 32 curve patterns are prepared, the curve is represented by 5-bit data of two coordinates of the start point and the end point, and a pattern number. By effectively employing these three kinds of processes, it is possible to represent a Bezier curve constituting the outline font data with a reduced data volume.

Abstract: A capacity layer is formed of non-doped polysilicon. Unlike capacity layers formed of an oxide film, generation of seams and the like can be suppressed and thereby a stable capacity layer can be formed. Moreover, polysilicon used as a capacity layer may be doped polysilicon, and an oxide film formed on the surface of the polysilicon also serves as a capacity film. Thus, provision of an insulated gate device featuring low capacity is made possible.
