An object is to provide an image signal processing device capable of
converting digital image signals into analog image signals using a
circuit of small scale. Addition high-order bit pixel data is generated
by adding, to high-order bit pixel data comprising an high-order
consecutive bits of input pixel data, a value corresponding to the least
significant bit digit of the high-order bit pixel data. In a prescribed
period, during a time period corresponding to a value of low-order bit
pixel data comprising low-order consecutive bits of the input pixel data,
the addition high-order bit pixel data is taken to be the data for D/A
conversion, and in other period, the high-order bit pixel data is taken
to be the data for D/A conversion. By means of this configuration, even
when the resolution of a D/A converter is lower than the resolution
required by the input pixel data, the resolution of the image ultimately
viewed during the prescribed period is equivalent to the resolution
required by the input pixel data. Consequently, to the extent that the
resolution of the D/A converter can be lowered, the circuit scale can be
reduced.
