Abstract
An image display apparatus that prevents a transfer of data of a main image from going into wait state when two or more types of image data, which are generated by different generators, are transferred in parallel. In the image display apparatus: a first image data generating unit generates first image data, divides it into a plurality of data pieces, and intermittently outputs the data pieces which each have a predetermined size smaller than a data size of one screen; a second image data generating unit generates and outputs second image data; an image display unit displays an image represented by the first and second image data; and a transfer arbitration unit transfers the data pieces to the image display unit, and transfers part or all of the second image data to the image display unit during a period in which any of the data pieces is not transferred.
