A character screen information generating unit (34) has a function also
serving as a spotlight information generating unit and outputs spotlight
information for brightness toward a brightness information converting unit
(30). The brightness information converting unit (30) uses this spotlight
information for brightness to convert brightness information. A shading
computation unit (24) uses the converted brightness information and color
information of an object to determine color information to be displayed on
a display at each pixel. A depth cueing computation unit (26) uses depth
information to make a depth cueing computation relative to the determined
color information. Thus, a pattern such as headlight can be displayed in
the form of spotlight. Further, such a spotlight display can reflect by
the depth information. There may further be provided a depth information
converting unit for converting the depth information by the use of
spotlight information for depth.
