Abstract
An image processing device performs: breaking down a drawing command into horizontal line parameters each indicating a drawing parameter on a line-by-line basis; and reading, from a translucent image storage unit configured to store a translucent image including a translucency value indicating a transmission rate of a color value corresponding to pixel for each of a plurality of pixels, the translucency values of pixels corresponding to the horizontal line parameter, and writing color values designated by the horizontal line parameter directly into a color image storage unit configured to store a color image including a color value for each of a plurality of pixels as the color values of the respective pixels corresponding to the horizontal line parameter without reading the color values of the pixels corresponding to the horizontal line parameter from the color image storage unit, when all of the read translucency values indicate transparent.
