LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device having a local dimming function capable of reducing the feeling of strangeness given to viewers caused by light leakage. An image display control unit (12) controls the aperture ratio of liquid crystal pixels outside an image display area so as to be a predetermined value. A backlight control unit (14) controls the brightness value of light emitting elements that illuminate a region outside the image display area so as to be a predetermined value in response to control signals output from the image display control unit (12). A liquid crystal display device (1) controls the brightness of the region outside the image display area so as to be a predetermined value on the basis of the correlation between the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal pixels outside the image display area controlled by the image display control unit (12) and the brightness value of the light emitting elements that illuminate the region outside the image display area controlled by the backlight control unit (14).
