Electronic typewriter using solid state display to print - has logic circuit scanning keyboard for key depressed and memory holding coded character information

摘要

The word processing system for displaying and reproducing alphanumeric characters consists of a housing containing an electronic keyboard with indicia markings on the keys. A logic is connected to the keyboard and to a solid state display, and scans the keyboard upon the depression of one or more keys to find out the identity of the keys depressed. A solid state memory is also connected to the logic circuit and contains coded information concerning the keyboard indicia so that a character can be generated and reproduced on the display responsive to the key-indicia.
