Abstract:
A semiconductor device for display control comprising:an input section for receiving a display information including a character code, a display position information and a character size information; a first address generating section for generating a first address group corresponding to the received character code by applying a predetermined conversion rule to the received character code and character size information; a font data storing section for prestoring font data corresponding to the character data in a region specified by the first address group and outputting the font data stored in the region specified by the first address group when the first address group is given; a second address generating section for generating a second address group by utilizing the received display position information, the second address group representing a region where the font data output from the font data storing section is to be expanded; a font data expanding section for expanding and temporarily storing the font data output from the font data storing section in the region represented by the second address group generated by the second address generating section; and an output section for outputting the font data stored in the font data expanding section to an external display driving unit.
