Abstract

A method and a circuit arrangement for controlling information to be displayed in an optical display installation in a program-controlled apparatus, in particular in a telecommunication apparatus. Display priority levels are allocated to the information to be displayed, so that information with higher priority levels are displayed with higher priority in relation to information with a lower priority level.
