Abstract
An image compression device includes: a first compression processing circuit configured to generate a first compressed image data by performing a first block compression process on an image data and a dither value generator circuit. When the first compressed image data associated with a compression target block is generated, the dither value generator circuit is configured to generate at least one dither value in response to block coordinates indicating a position of the compression target block in an image and the first compression processing circuit is configured to perform a quantization process using the at least one dither value in the first block compression process.
