Abstract
Two frame buffer memories are used. Depth coordinates are stored in a data bank memory of the first frame buffer memory. A comparing unit makes comparison between the depth coordinate of an image data currently displayed and the newly input depth coordinate, and thereby outputs a comparison result signal from a comparison result signal output terminal. In the second frame buffer memory, color data is stored in a data bank memory, and the comparison result signal sent from the first frame buffer memory is input via a comparison result signal input terminal. An image processing unit performs blending processing on the color data in response to the comparison result signal, and rewrites the color data.
