In a graphic processor, a rendering control circuit carries out weighted
averaging on pieces of pixel data of source image information arranged to
form a pixel-data matrix corresponding to a pixel matrix with columns of
the pixel-data matrix being oriented perpendicularly to a scanning
direction in order to compute a weighted average of pieces of pixel data
on rows of the pixel-data matrix adjacent to each other and on a column of
the pixel-data matrix perpendicular to the scanning direction in so-called
blend processing. It is thus possible to eliminate a difference in image
information between adjacent scanning lines, which is big in some cases.
In this case, the rendering control circuit reads out pieces of pixel data
from the pixel-data matrix sequentially in a direction perpendicular to
the scanning direction and computes a weighted average of the pieces of
data. It is therefore unnecessary to newly install a storage means, such
as a line buffer, in a display control circuit and, particularly, in the
rendering control circuit. Thus, even when image data subjected to blend
processing is displayed by adopting an interlace scanning technique,
undesired flickering is not generated.
