Abstract
A word processing system having a transparent display for previewing printed documents includes a keyboard for inputting character data and format data, a read only memory for storing process steps for displaying and printing input character data in accordance with the input format data, a processor for processing the input character data and the input format data in accordance with the stored process steps, and a display for previewing printed documents. The transparent display comprises a transparent display for displaying characters, a backlight background for supporting a blank form and a printed circuit board connected to the perimeter of the display glass. The transparent display is configured so as to accommodate the passage of a blank form between the front glass and the support plate so that characters displayed on the front glass appear superimposed over the supported blank form.
