Abstract

A Colour Display Apparatus comprises a three-gun cathode ray tube modulated by an input video signal from a digital computer. The video signal contains digital colour codes in the portions of the signal which correspond to blank spaces in the display (e.g. spaces between rows of characters). These codes are stored in a circulating shift and are used to gate the video input to the appropriate combination of guns to produce the required colour for each symbol.
