Abstract
A display device comprises a memory for storing article name data first and second character generators, a display unit, and a control unit. The character generators respectively generate character data of a normal character size and also of a character size smaller than the normal character size. The control unit detects the number of characters of the article name data stored in the memory, causing the character generators to generate character data, according to the stored article name data, of the smaller character size or of the normal character size, depending on whether the detected number of characters is greater or less than a predetermined value. The generated character data is displayed on the display unit.
