BACKLIGHT UNIT, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND LOCALIZED DIMMING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A backlight unit of a liquid crystal display device supplies light to one or more corresponding pixels of a liquid crystal display panel. The backlight unit includes a plurality of blocks formed into a matrix shape. Each block includes a light emitting diode module. The blocks in a row of the matrix are driven by a same row driving signal and the blocks in a column of the matrix are driven by a same column driving signal, to adjust luminance of the light supplied to the corresponding pixels.
