Abstract
Abstract An image display device which includes a ROM 33 where a multiplicity of image data on face parts such as eyes, eyebrows, a nose, and a face contour, and a hair style is stored. The user selectively reads any image data out of the ROM 33 by operating a key input unit 32, and synthesizes the read data into portrait data. The portrait data is displayed on a display 24 and stored sequentially in a RAM 36. The stored portrait data may be set as secret data which others cannot see. The secret portrait data is displayed as a silhouette and is returned from silhouette display to portrait one only when input data matches with password data stored beforehand in a password storage 39. <IMAGE>
