Abstract
Abstract To magnify display data generated by a lap-top type computer using a magnifying display unit having a transmission type liquid crystal display (LCD) and an overhead projector (OHP) apparatus, a display control apparatus is set between the lap-top type computer and the magnifying display unit. The display control apparatus is connected via an interface to the lap-top type computer. The display data is stored in the display control apparatus. The stored display data is output to the LCD in a predetermined timing so that it is magnified by the OHP apparatus.
