1. An image display apparatus for receiving image information of different formats from one or more external image apparatuses having different interface requirements, comprising:
Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface circuitry configured to receive first image information of a first format from an external image apparatus having at least one interface requirement, wherein the first format corresponds to compressed image information;
wireless LAN interface circuitry configured to wirelessly receive second image information of a second format from an external image apparatus having at least one interface requirement, wherein the second format corresponds to compressed image information which is modulated for wireless transmission;
a decoder configured to decode the compressed first image information received by the USB interface circuitry and the compressed second image information wirelessly received by the wireless LAN interface circuitry;
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) interface circuitry configured to receive third image information of a third format from an external image apparatus having at least one interface requirement, wherein the third format corresponds to uncompressed image information;
a display screen configured to display first images based on the decoded first image information obtained by the decoder, second images based on the decoded second image information obtained by the decoder, and third images based on the uncompressed third image information received by the HDMI interface circuitry;
switching circuitry configured to select one of the first images, the second images or the third images as images to be displayed on the display screen in response to a user operation on an input device of the image display apparatus; and
slide show control circuitry configured to control a slide show to be displayed on the display screen;
wherein when the switching circuitry selects the first images as images to be displayed on the display screen, in response to a control command signal for displaying a slide show from the input device of the image display apparatus,
the slide show control circuitry transmits, via the USB interface circuitry, a first image request signal which commands the external image apparatus to output compressed first image information corresponding to first still pictures, to the external image apparatus,
the USB interface circuitry receives the compressed first image information corresponding to the first still pictures output from the external image apparatus,
the decoder decodes the compressed first image information corresponding to the first still pictures received by the USB interface circuitry, and
the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the first still pictures, as the first images, based on the decoded first image information obtained by the decoder,
wherein when the switching circuitry selects the second images as images to be displayed on the display screen, in response to a control command signal for displaying a slide show from the input device of the image display apparatus,
the slide show control circuitry transmits, via the wireless LAN interface circuitry, a second image request signal which commands the external image apparatus to output compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures, to the external image apparatus,
the wireless LAN interface circuitry receives the compressed second image information corresponding to the second still pictures output from the external image apparatus,
the decoder decodes the compressed second image information corresponding to the second still pictures received by the wireless LAN interface circuitry, and
the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the second still pictures, as the second images, based on the decoded second image information obtained by the decoder, and
wherein when the switching circuitry selects the third images as images to be displayed on the display screen, in response to a control command signal for displaying a slide show from the input device of the image display apparatus,
the slide show control circuitry transmits, via the HDMI interface circuitry, a third image request signal which commands the external image apparatus to output uncompressed third image information corresponding to third still pictures, to the external image apparatus,
the HDMI interface circuitry receives the uncompressed third image information corresponding to the third still pictures output from the external image apparatus, and
the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the third still pictures, as the third images, based on the uncompressed third image information received by the HDMI interface circuitry.
