Abstract

As the number of processing applications and users increases, so does the need for a low-cost processing system. This paper describes an approach to the implementation of a solid-state display which provides the nucleus for such a system. Combining a powerful display with modern random access memory refresh technology, the system features a unique image array processor in which entire images, instead of single pixels, may be manipulated and displayed arithmetically at video frame rates. Built on a modest budget around an LSI-11 microprocessor (see Figure 1), this system can nevertheless provide complete processing capabilities, using the display's refresh memories for temporary storage (in lieu of magnetic disk devices).
