ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A digital video display system wherein the various characters to be displayed are displayed in the form of images of the complete character rather than the standard dot-matrix pattern of the prior art. A character genera- tor in the display system stores signals representing the various characters to be displayed which are retrieved from storage in response to a character code. The signals are in the form of a binary code having a sufficient number of bits to represent a different number of levels of gray- scale or luminance values for the various picture elements making up the character image. The binary codes thus retrieved from storage are supplied to a video synthesizer that generates the video signal to display the character images which may be displayed in a number of different modes including white-on-black, black-on-white, black-on- gray, and white-on-gray as well as different combinations of such modes to represent a cursor. The video synthesizer can generate output voltage levels in discrete stops for the different luminances to be employed. The voltage out- put signals differ from level to level in accordance with the 2.2 root of luminance.
