ABSTRACT:
A bit plane partitioned graphics display system prioritizes large numbers of classes of information prior to relaying the information to the color lookup table. This allows the color lookup table to process only 12 or less bits of information at a time. The graphics display system comprises n bit planes for storing the information to be displayed and outputting a pixel word having n bits, where n is the number of bits of information input to the graphics display system, bit plane masking for altering groups of the n bit planes without affecting the information on the other bit planes, pixel word processor for modifying bits of each pixel word output from the n bit-planes, a prioritizer for determining which information has the highest priority and outputting only the highest prioritized bits of information in 12 or less bits, intermediate color lookup tables for converting each group of bits in each pixel word into a set of bits that will produce the desired color, a color lookup table for outputting red, green, or blue color signals based upon the prioritizer output, digital-to-analog converters for converting these color signals into analog form, and a graphics display screen for displaying the red, green, and blue color analog signals.
