COLORING
If you have an Intensity feature, the number of possible colors you can express becomes doubled. In other words,
the number of colors you can represent with three colors blue, green, and red is 8 ( = 23), but with the intensity
feature, it is 16 ( = 24).
• Character Color
Character color is assinged for each font, and the 4 components for expressing a color are listed below.
Blue
Character & attribute register's CB bit[A]
Green
Character & attribute register's CG bit[9]
Red
Character & attribute register's CR bit[8]
Intensity
If the EX-EN bit is '1' and the Frame Control Register 3 CTL’s CINT bit called by Character &
Attribute register’s Blink, SHA bits is '1', the character intensity feature is enabled.
• Raster Color
Blue
Character & Attribute register's RB bit[D]
Green
Character & Attribute register's RG bit[C]
Red
Character & Attribute register's RR bit[B]
Intensity
If the EX-EN bit is '1' and the Frame Control Register 3 CTL’s RINT bit called by Character &
Attribute register’s Blink, SHA bits is '1', the RASTER intensity feature is enabled.
According to the 'EX-EN', 'RINT' and 'CINT' bits setting, raster and character color intensity can be assigned in
units of character.
Notes for When Making KB2514 Fonts
Address 000h is appointed as blank data. RAM's initial values are all 0, and all bits are written as 0 when you
erase the RAM, so blank data means the initial value. In other words, blank data means 'do nothing'. You don't
need to write any data for the space font, except for 000h. It just needs to be an undotted area.
