Abstract

PURPOSE:To output a document which is created or already stored easily and speedily after putting the document in a state to be supplied to an overhead projector by reading the document out of an external storage device such as a floppy disk device and displaying it on a transmission type liquid crystal display device. CONSTITUTION:A work processor body 1 has a keyboard 2, a CRT3, and the floppy disk device 4 and the transmission type liquid crystal display device LCD6 is connected to the word processor body 1 by a cable 5. This LCD6 is set on the overhead projector 7 and characters, a graphic form, etc., displayed on the LCD are projected on a screen 10 through a reflecting mirror 9 while light is converged through the lens 8 of the OHP. The LCD6 is in such a shape that it is mounted on the OHP film loading part of the OHP7 and a rectangular liquid crystal display part is provided to the center part of an external shell forming a flank. The liquid crystal display part projects is a transmission type and light which is incident from the back surface is projected from the top surface.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a word processor having a document output device suitable for projecting images using an overhead projector (hereinafter abbreviated as OHP).

[Technical Background of the Invention] Conventionally, when projecting a document created with a word processor on an OHP, the following operations were required. That is, it was necessary to print the created document directly onto an OHP film using a printer, or to copy the document once printed on paper onto an OHP film, and then copy the created document onto the OHP film.

[Problems in the Background Art] Therefore, in the conventional method described above, it is necessary to transfer the created document onto an OHP film, which takes time and effort. Once a document is printed on an OHP film, proofreading and When transporting OHP films, which are difficult to modify, to a destination, it is difficult to carry them because they are bulky and bulky. Also, OH
There were inconveniences such as the need for various expenses such as P-film fees, printing fees, copying fees, and maintenance costs.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a word processor that can easily and quickly output created documents or already stored documents in a state that can be applied to an overhead projector.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention enables documents stored in an external storage device such as a floppy disk device to be read out and displayed on a transmissive liquid crystal display device, and the shape of the transmissive liquid crystal display device can be changed to an overhead projector. The above object is achieved by making the shape so that it can be attached in place of an OHP film.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of a system for projecting documents on an OHP using the word processor of the present invention. Code 1 is the word processor itself, keyboard 2,
It has a CRT 3 and a floppy disk device 4.

Further, a transmissive liquid crystal display (LCD) 6 is connected to the word processor body 1 via a cable 5. The LCD 6 is set in an overhead projector 7, and characters, figures, etc. displayed on the LCD are focused by an OHP lens 8 and projected onto a screen 10 via a reflecting mirror 9.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the LCD 6 shown in FIG. L.C.
D6 has a shape that can be attached to the OHP film mounting section of OHP7 shown in FIG. 1, and a rectangular liquid crystal display section 62 is provided in the center of an outer shell 61 forming a side surface. The liquid crystal display section 62 is of a transmissive type so that light incident from the back surface is emitted from the top surface.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the word processor shown in FIG. 1. A main memory 12, a dictionary 13, a floppy disk device (FDD) 4, a CRT 3, and a keyboard 2 are connected to a bus 100 that connects the processor 11.
, a liquid crystal display (LCD) 6, and a printer 14 are connected.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, the operator inputs a document name menu stored in the floppy disk drive 4 to the processor 11 using the keyboard 2.
Select a document to be displayed on the RT 3 and projected on the overhead projector 7. Next, the operator selects a liquid crystal display operation from the operation display menu displayed on the CRT 3 by the processor 11. In response to this, processor 11
reads the selected document from the floppy disk device 4 and outputs it to the liquid crystal display device 6 in a form that can be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6. As a result, the liquid crystal display device 6 displays, for example, ABC as shown in FIG.
Characters (documents) such as 414 are displayed. When the liquid crystal display device 6 on which the document is displayed is attached to the overhead projector 7 as shown in FIG.
The characters displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6, such as B C414, are projected.

Note that at the same time that the document is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6, the CR
The same document may be displayed on the T3 so that the displayed document can be checked on the CRT3.

According to this embodiment, when it is desired to project a document on the overhead projector 7, it is sufficient to simply read the target document from the floppy disk device 4 and display it on the liquid crystal display device 6. This allows documents to be projected easily and quickly. Furthermore, if the word processor is available at the destination, it is only necessary to carry the floppy disk containing the document, making transportation easier. Furthermore, since a plurality of documents can be stored and archived on a floppy disk, storage can be performed easily and at low cost. Furthermore, when proofreading or correcting a document displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6, it is only necessary to display the document on the liquid crystal display device 6 after proofreading or correcting it using the functions of a word processor, so that the proofreading and correction can be easily performed. Can be done.

Note that a device consisting of a liquid crystal display device, a floppy disk device, and a display control device for reading documents from the floppy disk device and displaying the documents on the liquid crystal display device is provided on the overhead projector side, and a floppy disk storing documents is installed on the overhead projector side. A system in which a document or the like can be immediately projected by simply setting a floppy disk into the floppy disk device can also be easily considered as an application example of the above invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the word processor of the present invention,
Documents stored in an external storage device such as a floppy disk device can be read out and displayed on a transmissive liquid crystal display device, and the transmissive liquid crystal display device has a shape that can be attached to an overhead projector instead of an OHP film. By doing so, there is an effect that the document can be easily and quickly projected using an overhead projector.
