ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND
This invention relates to displaying characters on a dot-matrix display.
Devices such as computers, telephones, watches, pagers, and personal digital assistants can display data to a user on a dot-matrix display screen. Characters can be formed on the display by turning certain pixels “on” and other pixels “off.” The alignment of “on” and “off” pixels creates the appearance of characters on the display screen.
