An image mixing apparatus and a pixel mixer capable of mixing image data items having different pixel resolutions, and mixing image data items in an arbitrary display priority, irrespective of the order of mixing, even if the order of mixing is determined in advance is provided. Of two pixel data items having depth values "Zc" and "Zb", one pixel data item having the depth value indicating that the pixel is located in a foreground position is selected by a pixel selection determination circuit 110. However, if a pixel data item has a hue indicating that the pixel is transparent, such a pixel data item is not selected but another pixel data item is selected instead. Multiplexers 112 to 116 output a pixel data item (hue "Hm"/color saturation "Sm"/brightness "Lm") which is selected by the pixel selection determination circuit 110. Since pixel data items are input to the multiplexer 112 to 116 at different output rates, it is possible to mix images having different pixel resolutions.
