LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a liquid crystal display device capable of stopping the emitting luminance control of a backlight source on the APL of an input video signal in accordance with an input mode. The liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal panel (7) for displaying a picture, a backlight source for irradiating the liquid crystal panel (7), and a luminance controlling portion (5) for controlling the light source. The luminance controlling portion (5) performs the emitting luminance control of the backlight source according to the featuring quantity of the input video signal, upon a backlight unit (8). In case an input mode (e.g., a PC input mode or a game input mode) to input a predetermined video signal other than the input mode to input a television video signal is selected, the luminance controlling portion (5) controls the backlight unit (8) so that the emitting luminance of the backlight source may be kept constant irrespective of the featuring quantity of the input video signal.
