A character drawing apparatus makes reference to character drawing time data to carry out a pattern drawing process at drawing speeds controlled on the basis of the character drawing time data. Character drawing time intervals required respectively for drawing a plurality of characters can be changed simply by changing the character drawing time data so that the different characters are drawn respectively at different drawing speeds. Thus, the character drawing apparatus attracts effectively the attention of persons looking at characters being drawn and impresses effectively on such persons the information expressed by the characters being drawn.

Character drawing and displaying apparatus with drawing speed control

A contour filling apparatus comprising a display frame memory and a draft memory spatially corresponding thereto. A target shape to be displayed is filled inside by a draft filling means according to a suitable draft scan pattern. The filled shape is drawn in the draft memory. Scan coordinates specifying each dot in the draft memory and the display frame memory are generated in accordance with any of a plurality of previously provided scan patterns. If a dot specified by scan coordinates in the draft memory is found to be a dot filled by the draft filling means, that dot is drawn in the display frame memory where specified by the scan coordinates. The target shape is thus filled on a display screen of the apparatus in a desired scan pattern.

A still picture transmission apparatus in which still picture data is transmitted in packet form from a central terminal having a picture data bank selectively to a plurality of local terminals through a common transmission line at which a plurality of distinct logic channels are established, wherein a packet transmission is conducted in such a manner that a command designating a channel number is transmitted to a desired local terminal to which channel the local terminal is to be connected, and still picture data is transmitted with the use of the packet having said channel number.

A transistor causes a current to flow through a heat generating resistor in response to a picture signal and simultaneously, a capacitor coupled to the transistor is charged. When a charged voltage on the capacitor reaches a predetermined magnitude, the transistor stops the current to prevent the resistor from exceeding a predetermined magnitude and the capacitor begins to discharge. A plurality of resistors mentioned above are disposed in a row to form a thermally sensitive head which records a picture image on thermally sensitive paper as determined by the respective picture signals.
