ABSTRACT:
A character display apparatus is provided, which comprises a display device comprising a plurality of pixels, and a control section for controlling the display device. Each of the plurality of pixels comprises a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in a predetermined direction. A first pixel of the plurality of pixels comprises a plurality of first sub-pixels. At least one pixel neighboring the first pixel comprises a plurality of second sub-pixels. The control section determines an arrangement pattern containing a plurality of elements, in which a value of each of the plurality of elements is determined depending on whether or not a basic portion indicating a skeleton of a character is assigned to a corresponding sub-pixel of the plurality of the first and second sub-pixels. The control section determines a luminance level of the first pixel based on the arrangement pattern.
