ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus provided with a frame memory for sequentially reading image data written in the frame memory for image display data, an image processing apparatus includes: a recognizing section for recognizing whether the image data written in the frame memory are image data in which each pixel is written with a first bit number or image data in which each pixel is written with a second bit number that is different from the first bit number; a first image data reading section for reading the image data from the frame memory, regarding each pixel as being expressed by the first bit number; a second image data reading section for reading the image data from the frame memory, regarding each pixel as being expressed by the second bit number; and a switching section for switching the first image data reading section and the second image data reading section on the basis of the recognition information from the recognizing section.
