An apparatus for displaying numerical value information, comprising: a first display having a plurality of digit display positions each capable of selectively displaying one of Arabic numerals; a second display having a plurality of digit display positions each capable of selectively displaying one of Arabian language numerals; a digit timing signal generator; a first and second digit drivers responsive to said digit timing signals for enabling said digit display positions of each of said first and second displays, respectively, in a digit timing sequence; a re-circulation shift register operable responsive to said digit timing signals for storing a signal representing multi-digit numerical value information comprising a plurality of digit numeral signals each representing in a bit-coded manner a value of the numeral to be displayed in the corresponding digit display position in said displays; a first converter coupled to a predetermined digit position of said register for withdrawing in said digit timing sequence a digit numeral signal for converting it into an Arabic numeral signal for representing said digit numeral signal by the Arabic numerals so as to be commonly applied to said multi-digit display positions in said first display; and a second converter for converting the output from said first converter into an Arabian language numeral signal for representing said digit numeral signal by the Arabian language numerals so as to be commonly applied to said multi-digit display positions in said second display; whereby the numeral in the respective digit of said multi-digit numerical value information is displayed in the corresponding digit display position in said first and second displays in said digit timing sequence, by Arabic and Arabian language numerals, respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly stated, the present invention comprises an apparatus for displaying numerical value information, comprising: display means capable of displaying multi-digit numerical value information by first and second different kinds of groups of numeral characters, each digit of said multi-digit numerical value information having a value of one of a set of numerals: means for providing a signal representing multi-digit numerical value information, said multi-digit numerical value information comprising a plurality of digit numeral signals, each of said numeral signals representing, in a coded fashion of a plurality of bits, a value of the numeral to be displayed in the corresponding digit display position in said display means; converting means for converting said digit numeral signal in the respective digit of said coded multi-digit numerical value information signal into first and second kinds of character signals for representing said coded multi-digit numerical value information by said first and second kinds of groups of numeral characters; and means responsive to said first and second kinds of character signals for driving said display means for selectively displaying said coded multi-digit numerical value information by either or both of said first and second kinds of groups of numeral characters, respectively.
According to the present invention, the resultant numerical value information as processed by electronic numerical data processing machines, such as electronic calculators, is selectively displayed by either or both of first and second different kinds of groups of numeral characters, such as Arabic numerals and Arabian language numerals.
Preferably, selecting means is provided for selecting display of the numerical value information by either or both of said first and second different kinds of groups of numeral characters.
In a preferred embodiment, said coded multi-digit numerical value information signal is first converted into a set of individual signals each uniquely identifying the numeral in the respective digit in said coded multi-digit numerical value information, and said individual numeral identifying signal is then converted into said first and second different kinds of character signals for representing said coded multi-digit numerical value information by said first and second different kinds of groups of numeral characters
