Image processing apparatus and method of processing color image data that perform overdrive

An image processing apparatus that receives color image data of successive frames and outputs corrected color image data, the apparatus comprising:

• a frame memory that stores Y-element values of respective pixels of a previous one of the successive frames;
• a restoration block that restores R-, G-, and B-element values of the respective pixels of the previous one of the successive frames based on the Y-element values of the respective pixels of the previous one of the successive frames read from the frame memory and the color image data of a current one of the successive frames, which is next to the previous one of the successive frames;
• and
• a correction block that compares the R-, G-, and B-element values of the respective pixels of the previous one of the successive frames that the restoration block restored and R-, G-, and B-element values of corresponding pixels of the current one of the successive frames and generates the corrected color image data.
