Abstract
An image synthesis output apparatus is capable of saving power in the stage of obtaining a synthetic image of a plurality of images. In the apparatus, during a period when either of first and second input images is updated within a first predetermined period, a multi-layer image synthesis section synthesizes these input images and outputs a synthetic image to an LCD display panel. If neither of the first and second input images are updated within the first predetermined period, the multi-layer image synthesis section also writes the synthetic image in a synthetic- image storage section. If the first and second input images are not updated and a second predetermined period elapses after the first predetermined period, then without synthesizing the first and second input images, the multi-layer image synthesis section reads the synthetic image and outputs it to the LCD display panel.
