Abstract

A display device is used to convey additional information about the internal state of an electronic apparatus, by varying the intensity of the display in a pattern related to the state. For example, a hexadecimal digit display 10, for displaying a diagnostic code for a computer, may additionally be used to indicate cooling fan 18 failure by flashing the digits 12, 14 in a particular pattern when fan failure is detected. One digit 12 may flash at a predetermined rate to indicate the presence of a fault condition whilst another 14 may be caused to flicker at a rate determined by the severity of the fault with the two digits 12, 14 flashing alternately when the fault is at a maximum. <IMAGE>
