Abstract:
1. A character display apparatus, comprising: a display device including a display plane having a plurality of pixels; and a control section for controlling the display device, wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged along a predetermined direction, a corresponding one of a plurality of color elements being pre-assigned to each of the plurality of sub-pixels, the intensity of each of the plurality of color elements is represented by a plurality of color element levels in a stepwise fashion, the control section controls the display device such that: the at least one first sub-pixel is included in a first region on the display plane which corresponds to a first frame, the first frame is a region having a first size such that the basic portion of the first character is included therein, the first size being predetermined with respect to the first character, at least one of the at least one first vicinal sub-pixel is out of the first region, the control section controls the display device such that a second character is further displayed on the display plane at a position adjacent to the first character, at least one second sub-pixel corresponding to a basic portion of the second character is included in a second region on the display plane which corresponds to a second frame, the second frame is a region having a second size such that the basic portion of the second character is included therein, the second size being predetermined with respect to the second character, the at least one of the at least one first vicinal sub-pixel is included in the second region, and the control section sets a color element level of the at least one of the at least one first vicinal sub-pixel based on a color element level which is determined according to a distance from the at least one first sub-pixel and a color element level which is determined according to a distance from the at least one second sub-pixel.
