The image data generation circuit has a vertical blank interval and a frame interval alternately, is configured to not output the first image data during the vertical blank interval, and is configured to output one frame of the first image data during the frame interval. The image data translation circuit is configured to perform a preparation operation to translate a frame of the first image data into a frame of the second image data in a next frame interval, during the vertical blank interval.
