Provided is a low-power image display device including a brightness determining unit (210) that determines the brightness (Y) of image data applied from outside; a histogram analyzing unit (220) that is connected to the brightness determining unit (210), calculates a cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the determined image data, and selects the brightness of the image data, corresponding to the number of pixels preset in the calculated CDF, as reference brightness; a brightness control unit (230) that is connected to the brightness determining unit (210) and the histogram analyzing unit (220) and converts the image data such that the contrast of the image data is converted into contrast corresponding to the reference brightness; a data drive (240) that is connected to the brightness control unit (230), receives the image data of which the contrast is changed, and converts the image data into an image output signal (D0) for displaying an image to the outside; a backlight control unit (250) that is connected to the histogram analyzing unit (220) and the data drive (240) and generates a driving voltage (Vc) for controlling the brightness of backlight to brightness corresponding to the reference brightness; and an image display unit (260) that is connected to the data drive (240) and the backlight control unit (250), receives the driving voltage (Vc) generated from the backlight control unit (250) and the image output signal (D0), and displays an image by using the image data, of which the contrast is changed, and the backlight of which the brightness is changed. |
