ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to realize a palette control circuit which generates inconspicuous noise using simple circuitry and without reducing processing efficiency. A palette control circuit comprises a palette 5 used for color conversion, a selector 4 that is connected to the address input of the palette and selects image memory output or address data for use in accessing the palette, a holding circuit 6 for temporarily holding the output of the palette 5, and a control circuit 7 for issuing an input select instruction to the selector 4, access control signals to the palette 5, and a data holding instruction to the holding circuit 6. For displaying normal image memory, the control circuit 7 instructs the selector 4 to select image memory output and allows the holding circuit 6 to pass palette output as it is. For accessing the contents of the palette, the control circuit 7 instructs the holding circuit 6 to hold the preceding output of the palette 5 and allows the selector 4 to select address data for use in accessing the palette.
