Abstract
In an image processing apparatus for processing image data in either operation mode of a full color mode or a monochromatic mode having processing speed higher than the full color mode, at least a part of an image processing circuit comprises a rewritable device such as a field gate programmable array. A controller rewrites an internal circuit in the rewritable device according as the operation mode is the full color mode or the monochromatic mode. The internal circuit in the rewritable device rewritten in the monochromatic mode performs processing based on pixel clock faster than in the full color mode.
