Moving image display apparatus

A moving image display apparatus, comprising:

• a display unit which sequentially displays image patterns in the form of a moving image on a matrix type display screen;
• a storage unit which stores area sectional information and display format information, wherein the area sectional information defines a plurality of divided areas into which the matrix type display screen is divided in a matrix, and the display format information defines display formats of the divided areas identified by the area sectional information in a time sequential manner;
• and
• a display control unit which controls to display the corresponding divided areas defined by the area sectional information in accordance with the display formats defined by the display format information to display the image patterns in the form of the moving image in the time sequential manner, wherein
• the display format information includes area identification data and display effect identification data, wherein the area identification data identifies the divided areas to be set with the display formats, and the display effect identification data is data for changing a display effect including at least one of a display color, a color density level and a gradation level of each of the divided areas identified by the area identification data in the time sequential manner such that two different display effects are provided to at least one divided area of the plurality of divided areas, and
• the display control unit controls to display the divided areas while changing the display effect of each of the divided areas in the time sequential manner in accordance with the area identification data and the display effect identification data,
• wherein one area identification data among the area identification data commonly identifies two or more divided areas among the divided areas to be set with a common display format, and
• the display effect of the two or more divided areas commonly identified by the one area identification data is changed in the time sequentially manner with the common display format.
