A color data signal (DATA) and the control signal (CTL) are supplied from a central processor to a display controller, and an address conversion parameter included in the control signal (CTL) is stored in a control register 5. In accordance with the address conversion parameter, display address generating means 6 performs address conversion to generate a display address, and in accordance with the display address, the color data signal (DATA) is stored in a primary storage means 7. Thereafter, an image signal is outputted via image signal outputting means 8 to a display panel. This makes it possible to provide the display controller which can reduce a mounting area and power consumption and reduce the load of a processing on the central processor which performs a processing for editing image data.
