DIGITAL DATA DISPLAY SYSTEM ABSTRACT A digital data display system in which the display device includes a plurality of random access stores into which character cell definitions are loaded from a remote central processing unit. A character cell may be a 9 x 16 picture element matrix and each is defined in the c.p.u. according to the requirements of a display request received from a users application program. The system control services include a graphics manager and graphics routines which construct a character buffer and character cell definition table according to the picture to be displayed. A character cell definition that is required more than once in a picture is only included once in the definition table, the character buffer having the required number of pointers to the one definition. When the character buffer and charac- ter definition table have been constructed they are trans- mitted to the display device using a data communication system. The system can be used for colour or monochrome displays.
