Patent ID: 8279223

Claim:
An image processing apparatus capable of displaying image data on a display device that has resolution lower than that of the image data, comprising: a processor for categorizing image data of one screen into a plurality of groups by setting four pixels of the image data being mutually adjacent on the screen as one group and for outputting data to be displayed time-divisionally and sequentially on one pixel of the display device respectively based on data of the pixels in each of said groups, whereby the data that is time-divisionally and sequentially displayed is displayed on said one pixel such that the input to the one pixel changes time-divisionally and sequentially but the position on the display at which the time-divisional, sequential data is displayed does not change, such that the one pixel of the display device is on during the entire time that the data is displayed on the display device, the display time for each unit of data that is time-divisionally and sequentially displayed is determined according to a processing capacity of the processor, a panel driver, and a display panel, the data that is time-divisionally and sequentially displayed is displayed such that a moving distance for a vision to follow during display of a group is equivalent to two pixels.
