Apparatus for processing two-dimensional images and method of doing the same

An apparatus for displaying a two-dimensional image by synthesizing a background to a graphic in translucence, said apparatus comprising:

• a display device in which two-dimensional images are displayed;
• a single display buffer storing graphic data therein;
• a plurality of graphic buffers comprising a number of graphic buffers which is equal to the number of backgrounds to be displayed;
• and
• a processor which stores data of backgrounds into said display buffer such that said data is stored in order from data located at a bottom to data located at a top as viewed from a display screen, and stores each of numbers of graphics into each of graphic buffers associated with a background to be displayed.

An apparatus for displaying a two-dimensional image by synthesizing a background to a graphic in translucence, said apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of graphic buffers comprising a number of graphic buffers which is equal to the number of backgrounds to be displayed;
• a single display buffer;
• a first processor which identifies a background on which a graphic is to be displayed, and stores a graphic number of said graphic into a graphic buffer associated with the an identified background;
• and
• a second processor which processes both background data and graphic data associated with each of said backgrounds in translucence such that said backgrounds are processed in order from a most distant background to a closest background, and stores resultant RGB data into said display buffer.

An apparatus for a displaying two-dimensional image by synthesizing a background to a graphic in translucence, said apparatus comprising:

• a background painter which processes background data and transmits a signal accordingly;
• a graphic painter including:
• a plurality of graphic buffers comprising a number of graphic buffers equal to the number of backgrounds to be displayed;
• a memory storing parameters of graphics to be displayed;
• a graphic analyzer which determines whether a graphic associated with a given graphic number is within a displayable area, based on said parameters stored in said memory, and stores said graphic number into a graphic buffer associated with a background to which said graphic is to be synthesized;
• and
• an output device which outputs data about said graphic;
• and
• a color synthesizer including:
• a display buffer storing therein graphics data to be displayed;
• and
• a processor which processes data in translucency such that said backgrounds are processed in order from a most distant background to a closest background, and stores the resultant into said display buffer.

A method of displaying a two-dimensional image by synthesizing a background to a graphic in translucence, said method comprising:

• processing both background data and graphic data in translucence;
• storing the processed background data and graphic data into a single display buffer;
• processing images in translucence such that said images are processed in order from a most distant image to a closest image, to thereby produce RGB data;
• storing said RGB data into said display buffer;
• and
• displaying images stored in said display buffer.
