Abstract

A memory circuit receives (n.times.n) data dots of an image data and stores a plurality of data dots selected from the image of data in a single address. Before the plurality of data dots are stored in the single memory, they are shifted in a transverse row direction by one bit with regard to each of the rows and are shifted in a vertical column direction by one bit with regard to each of the columns. The image data is rotated in a step-like manner by 90.degree. clockwise or anticlockwise. The image data is rotationally shifted during write/read times, and the address in which the data dots are stored is decoded in units of data dots.
