<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a backlight for individually controlling luminance of backlight units. <P>SOLUTION: The backlight is constituted of a plurality of backlight units which are cascade-connected with one another. Each backlight unit includes a light emitting source and a unit control circuit. The unit control circuit receives a control frame 200-1 including luminance information of each backlight unit generated by a backlight control circuit, reads luminance information to its own light emitting source from a data field DF1 and controls luminance of its light emitting source on the basis of the received luminance information. The unit control circuit generates a new control frame 200-2 from which the data field DF1 including the read luminance information is deleted and transmits the new control frame to the consecutive backlight unit. Individual backlight units obtain their own luminance information by performing the same processing with respect to the control frame. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
