DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to one aspect of this invention, a character display apparatus includes: a display device having a plurality of pixels; and a control section for controlling the display device.
Each of the pixels includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged along a predetermined direction.
A corresponding one of a plurality of color elements is pre-assigned to each of the sub-pixels.
The control section displays a character on the display device by independently controlling the color elements respectively corresponding to the sub-pixels.
In one embodiment of the invention, an intensity of each of the color elements is represented stepwise through a plurality of color element levels.
Each of the sub-pixels has one of the color element levels.
The control section sets a color element level of at least one particular sub-pixel corresponding to a basic portion of a character to be displayed on the display device to a predetermined color element level, and sets a color element level of at least one other sub-pixel adjacent to the at least one particular sub-pixel corresponding to the basic portion of the character to a color element level other than the predetermined color element level.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control section defines the basic portion of the character to be displayed on the display device based on an outline of a scaled character.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control section defines the basic portion of the character to be displayed on the display device based on skeleton data which represents a skeleton shape of the character.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control section scales the skeleton data according to a size of the character to be displayed on the display device, an d adjusts a line width of the character after defining the basic portion of the character based on the scaled skeleton data.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control section sets the color element level of the at least one other sub-pixel adjacent to the at least one particular sub-pixel corresponding to the basic portion of the character to the color element level other than the predetermined color element level based on at least one correction pattern
