1742	 On the Design of Display Processors	 The flexibility and power needed in the data channel for a computer display are considered. To work efficiently such a channel must have a sufficient number of instructions that it is best understood as a small processor rather than a powerful channel. As it was found that successive improvements to the display processor design lie on a circular path by making improvements one can return to the original simple design plus one new general purpose computer for each trip around. The degree of physical separation between display and parent computer is a key factor in display processor design. display processor design display system computer graphics graphic terminal displays graphics display generator display channel display programming graphical interaction remote displays
