Abstract
A transparency designation memory is provided in parallel with color loop-up tables (CLUTs) corresponding to a plurality of frames. When color value data are set in the CLUTs, a transparency designation memory section detects if the color value is transparency or not, and writes data indicating the presence or absence of transparency designation. A frame selector is also provided, which selects a displayed image frame according to the transparency designation signal outputs stored corresponding to entry addresses and in the order of display priorities of the image frames.
