ABSTRACT:
A display 10 for an electronic apparatus e.g. a portable radio telephone comprises a two row by eight column array of character display elements 12 for displaying characters 13. The character display elements 12 in the first seven columns comprise a conventional LCD 7.times.5 pixel matrix with the character display elements 16 of the last column comprising a single column of pixels. Data input into the electronic apparatus is shown on the display 10 as it is input with the next character display element 12,16 to be filled being indicated by a vertical cursor 21. When the top row 26 of the display 10 is full i.e. when the conventional character display elements 12 are all used up, the vertical cursor 21 is still displayed in the additional, single column, character display element 16. This extra character display element 16 adds very little length to the display but allows text editors to act in a more logical way.
