Abstract
An electronic video display of alpha-numeric characters such as words and numbers, in which a justified display is provided on the video screen. The display is generated by sequentially reading characters from a circulating memory corresponding to a display line, in response to stepping pulses. The time delay between each stepping pulse and the one preceding it corresponds to the width of the preceding character, or of the preceding word space. Justification is accomplished by increasing the time interval between stepping pulses corresponding to preceding word spaces, to incrementally increase the width of each word space until the last character on the line is at the right margin.
