Definitions

the invention relates to a device for displaying characters, in which the characters to be displayed are formed by highlighting the points assigned to the respective characters of a two-line dot matrix display divided into individual dot matrix fields.
Dot matrix displays in which characters can be displayed by highlighting individual dots are known, in particular, from use in programmable calculators. If alphanumeric characters are to be displayed, a field consisting of 35 points, which is five points wide and seven points high, is usually used for each character to be displayed. In the case of dot matrix displays which allow the display of characters in at least two lines one above the other, two different embodiments are known.
the so-called graphic-capable dot matrix displays allow the highlighting of any desired point in the display field by simultaneously controlling the associated column and row.
the characters can therefore be displayed anywhere on the dot matrix display.
multi-line dot matrix displays in which the display field is already divided into individual dot matrix fields, are considerably cheaper than the graphic-capable dot matrix displays, the z. B. are arranged in two or more rows, each with 20 dot matrix fields.
Two-line dot matrix displays with 20 dot matrix fields per line are e.g. B. manufactured by Hitachi under the name LMO32L.
the dot matrix display is combined with an upstream control module to form a display module.
characters can be represented in the form of letters, numbers or symbols.
the point combinations of 240 characters are permanently stored in a first memory in the control module of the display module. These characters are letters, numbers, and a series of symbols. These characters cannot be changed by the user.
the individual dot matrix fields of the dot matrix display are designed as a "5 x 8" matrix. Of the eight lines in this matrix, only the top seven lines are generally used to represent letters and numbers.
the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned at the outset which is capable of displaying digits whose height is greater than the height of a dot matrix field.
characters from the specified character set can also be used to display information about the unit of measurement of the measurement result or about the selected measuring point.
FIG. 1 shows eight basic patterns which, according to the invention, serve to represent the numbers 0 to 9.
the individual dots that form the dot matrix fields are shown as a rectangle, the rectangles corresponding to the respectively activated points being filled with dark color, while the rectangles corresponding to the non-activated points are not filled are. Although this representation somewhat falsifies the overall impression of the characters, it was chosen in FIGS. 1 and 2 in order to clarify the position of the individual point addressed.
the eight basic patterns are provided with the letters A to H as reference symbols.
FIG. 2 shows a section of a two-line dot matrix display with the number “8” composed of the basic patterns shown in FIG. 1.
the number “8” is composed of the basic patterns B, C, G and H.
the number “8” from the fixed set of characters of the display module is shown to the left of the number "8” composed of the basic samples.
the letter "A" from the fixed set of characters is shown to show how the unit of measurement can be displayed in a simple way together with the numerical value.
FIG. 3 shows the same section from a two-line dot matrix display as FIG. 2. However, only the activated points are shown in FIG. 3. This method of representation corresponds better to the overall impression that the viewer of a dot matrix display has than the method of representation chosen in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 shows the numbers “0” to “9” using the basic pattern shown in FIG. 1. As in FIG. 3, only the activated points are shown.
