Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A memory system comprising: a plurality of memory planes (26, 27, 28) for storing picture data; memory control means (14) for controlling writing and reading data from the memory planes; and a plurality of operation means (17R, 17G, 17B) provided in one-to-one relationship with the memory planes (26, 27, 28) for performing logical operations on data read from the respective memory planes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A memory system comprising: a plurality of memory planes (26, 27, 28) for storing picture data; memory control means (14) for controlling writing and reading data from the memory planes; and a plurality of operation means (17R, 17G, 17B) provided in one-to-one relationship with the memory planes (26, 27, 28) for performing logical operations on data read from the respective memory planes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A memory system according to claim 1, characterized by further comprising a plurality of first lacthing means (16R, 16G, 16B) provided in one-to-one relationship with said operation means (17R, 17G, 17B) for holding the data from said plurality of memory planes (26, 27, 28).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A memory system according to claim 2, characterized in that further comprising a second latch means (18) storing data representing the modes of operation of said operation means (17R, 17G, 17B).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A memory system according to claim 1, characterized in that wherein said memory planes (26, 27, 28) are assigned to picture patterns of the three primary colors, red, green and blue, respectively.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A memory system according to claim 3, characterized in that one of said operation modes is to draw a new picture pattern represented by newly input picture data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A memory system according to claim 3, characterized in that one of said operation modes is to obtain a logical sum of the picture data stored in any memory plane (26, 27, 28) and newly input picture data and representing a new picture pattern to be drawn.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A memory system according to claim 3, characterized in that one of said operation modes is to obtain a logical product of the picture data stored in any memory plane (26, 27, 28) and picture data newly input and representing a new picture pattern to be drawn.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
48 words
A memory system according to claim 3, characterized in that one of said operation modes is to obtain an exclusive logical sum of the picture data stored in ane memory plane (26, 27, 28) and picture data newly input and representing a new picture pattern to be drawn.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
71 words
A memory system according to claim 3, characterized in that one of said operation modes renders those of the picture data stored in any memory plane (26, 27, 28) which correspond to the logically significant data of a new picture pattern logically significant and keeps those of the picture data stored in the memory plane (26, 27, 28) which correspond to the logically insignificant data of the new picture pattern unmodified.
