Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate a display picture which is dynamic and has a realistic sense and an abundant game property, by placing each CRT display and convex lens so that each picture magnified through the convex lens forms one continuous picture. CONSTITUTION:Each picture 10a-10c of CRT displays 1a-1c arrayed in the shape shown in figure is placed so as to be magnified visually through each front side convex lens 2a-2c. The pictures 10a-10c are positioned toward the lens from a focus of the lenses 2a-2c. The lenses 2a-2c are arrayed without space to each other, each picture 10a-10c is placed so as to be magnified visually to full size by the lenses 2a-2c, and a picture element data which consists of each separate picture and becomes a unified pattern in a combined state is offered to each device 1a-1c by a display control device, by which one continuous picture becomes visible as a whole.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a wide screen using multiple CRT display devices.

Traditionally, for example, in video games, only one CRT display device was used to display the screen necessary for car games, etc., but it was not just a competition of driving skills, but also a more dynamic and realistic display. In order to provide the player with a rich gaming experience, it is not sufficient to use only one 0fLT display device.

Therefore, we thought of using multiple CRT display devices to display a dynamic and realistic screen, but if we simply lined up the screens of multiple CRT display devices, there would be gaps on the screen. I found that the burrs detracted from the dynamics and sense of reality.

This invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and aims to create a display screen that is dynamic, realistic, and rich in game play by using a plurality of CRT display devices and convex lenses. The purpose is to

The main feature of this invention is that each CRT display device and a convex lens on the front side thereof are
The enlarged screen of the RT display device is arranged so as to form one continuous double-sided screen as a whole.This will be explained in more detail below based on the drawings.Figure 1 shows three ORT display devices 1a and 1b. ,l.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of the case in which this is used, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

Here, among the ORT display devices 1a, lb, and lc and the convex lenses 2a, 2b, and 2c arranged in front of the ORT display devices 1a, lb, and lc, the ORT display device in front of the player [1, a and the convex lens 2a]
ORT display devices 1b, 10 and each convex lens 2b on both sides of
, 2c are arranged in a V-shape, and the distances from the player's eye position to each convex lens 2a, 2b, 20 are equal, and each C
The distances to the RT display devices ta, tb, and tc are made equal.

Each convex lens 2'+2b, 2c may be an optical glass lens, a plastic lens, or another lens having the function of a convex lens. For example, it is conceivable to empty the contents of a plastic lens and fill that space with a liquid to perform the function of a convex lens.

Each -plane lOma, job, 100 of each 011LT display device ta, tb, tc is a convex lens 2^ on the front side,
It is arranged so that it can be seen magnified through 2b and 2c. For example, each screen 1 (1° 10b, lOQ) is positioned closer to the lens than the focal point of each convex lens 2N, 2b, 20, so that the player can see an enlarged virtual image screen.

Each convex lens la, lb, and lo are arranged without any gaps, and each screen toa, tob, and too is connected to each convex lens l&, l.
b. It is arranged so that it can be visually enlarged to a full size of 10, and each ORT display device it
By providing pixel data to the three convex lenses 11L, lb, and tc on separate screens and providing a unified pattern when combined, the operator can
One continuous screen can be viewed as a whole through lo.

Further, FIG. 6 is a plan view showing an example of obtaining a horizontally long wide screen using two ORT display devices, and FIG. 7 is a front view thereof.

Figure 8 shows two OR'r display devices [1a, lb and convex lenses 2a, 2b facing upward;

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing an example of a configuration in which the operator can see the screen through the mirror 3; FIG. 9 is a front view of the dog;
Figure 0 shows a side view thereof.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the display control device R6 of the plurality of ORT display devices having the above laK function. :CP
It is composed of a ROM that drives U.

The CRT controller 62 controls the timing of this entire circuit using C! It is controlled according to instructions from the PU 61.

The multiplexer 63 inputs the refresh memory address and pattern ROM address sent from the ORT controller 62 to the refresh memory or pattern ROM in the graphic memory 64.

The graphic data is further input to the graphic memory 64 via a path driver 66 at a designated address.

The graphic controller 266 performs hardware control of screen configuration, priority of displayed objects, colors, etc. in accordance with graphic control signals transmitted from the jRT controller 62.

The P/8 converters 67a, 67b, and 67C convert the graphic data outputted via the graphic controller from parallel to series.

Video control 0-. 1y68a, 68b, and 68c also perform synchronization of horizontal and vertical scanning, or control of the cursor in cases where a cursor is used.

The input device 69 is a steering wheel, accelerator, change gear, etc. for a car game, and a control stick, etc. for a fighter game. -Furthermore, the output device 70 is equipped with a numerical display or the like for displaying the operator's game results in terms of points or the like.

By using a display control device having the circuit configuration as described above, bipolar data is provided to a plurality of CR1 display devices on separate screens, which when combined form a unified pattern.

As explained above, by using a plurality of (ERT display devices and a convex lens), the present invention allows the player to see an uninterrupted continuous screen that is unified as a whole, and is more dynamic. This provides players with a realistic feel and rich gameplay, and provides a wide screen that is ideal for video games such as car games, and simulators for pilot training of automobiles, aircraft, etc.
