  • Patent number: 8619092
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and graphics memory unit which reduces useless memory access to a graphics memory unit. When an image data read section reads image data from frame buffers or windows, a mask area inside/outside determination section determines by reference to mask information stored in a mask information storage section whether image data which is being scanned is in a memory access mask area. If the image data which is being scanned is in the memory access mask area, then a superposition process section performs a superposition process according to a transmission attribute assigned to the memory access mask area regardless of transmission attributes assigned to the frame buffers or the windows.
