Abstract
The present invention relates to data processing apparatus, such as an automatic teller machine, comprising a manual data entry device, a data processor to process information entered by the data entry device and an output display to present output data generated by the data processor. The output display comprises the usual cathode ray tube display and an additional image projector which can be selected to display personal data which it is intended to should remain out of view of a bystander. The image projector includes a pair of light sources adapted to project beams of light focused to a view point within a prescribed field of view in front of the apparatus. Modulating devices modulate the light to convey images of the output data to the view point. The beams of light are focused so as to pass through the pupil of each eye and form images on the retina without the intermediary of a screen. In an alternative embodiment the data processing device may dispense with the cathode ray tube display.
