    Abstract: PURPOSE:To display an image plane consisting of an optional number of lines than the number of display liens of a display device at an optional vertical position on a display panel at all times by providing a means which generates a signal for varying and setting the number of blank feeding shift clock pulses, feeding lines with the blank feeding shift clock, and making no display in the blank feeding period. CONSTITUTION:A generation part 60 for a horizontal synchronizing signal as an interface signal to a matrix display device consists of a generating circuit 61 for the blank feeding shift clock, a generating circuit 62 for pulses of frequency which is an (n) times as high as a horizontal synchronizing signal, and a kick circuit 63 for the generating circuit 61. In this case, lines are fed on the display device by as many as the blank feeding shift clock pulses in the blank feeding period and no display is made throughout the period. For the purpose, this blank feeding period is so set that when the number of lines on the image plane is smaller than that of the display panel, parts of unnecessary lines at the upper and lower part of the display panel are fed in blank, thereby displaying the image plane in the center. Further, the image plane can easily be displayed at an optical desired vertical position.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To facilitate the conversion, and also, to hold sequence and magnitude of a relative luminance of M pieces of gradations by specifying a relation of K, M and N, in the case of converting arbitrary M pieces of gradations of a K gradation gray scale to an N gradation. CONSTITUTION:A gray scale converter is formed by a first table Tin and a second table Tout. The table Tin is a processing table for generating the table Tout, and mapped to an N gradation having sequence and magnitude of M pieces of gradation relative luminances in a K gradation. Subsequently, the contents of the table Tin are allowed to correspond to the K gradation, and mapped to the table Tout. In this case, when there is a condition of K>N>=M, the conversion corresponds to one-to-one and executed easily. Also, even when a CRT controller can use only an arbitrary N gradation in the K gradation, a display can be executed on a panel PDP.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To disable access from another information processor to a storage device even when the other information processor is connected to a standard interface part by providing a means for inhibiting access through the standard interface part to the storage device. CONSTITUTION: A 1st personal computer 21 is provided with a protect signal generating circuit 51 as a means for inhibiting access to a storage device 25. The protect signal generating circuit 51 has a password memory 52, key input latch 53 and comparator circuit 54 and a password key-inputted by a key input means 31 is held by the key input latch 53 and compared with a prescribed password, which is previously stored in the password memory 52, by the comparator circuit 54. When contents held in the key input latch 53 do not match stored contents in the password memory 52, the comparator circuit 54 generates a protect signal on its output line 55. Thus, even when the other information processor is connected to a standard interface part 26, the storage device 25 can not be accessed from the other information processor.
