<p>Disclosed is a liquid crystal display which enables to realize size reduction of a device, while securing optimum luminance. Also disclosed is a portable terminal using such a liquid crystal display. In the liquid crystal display, a first sensor (7) is arranged on a portion on a metal wiring layer (35), which portion is shielded from the light of a backlight (5) but exposed to the outside light since it is not covered with a black matrix (21), for sensing the outside light incident thereon. A second sensor (8) is arranged on other than the metal wiring layer for sensing the light of the backlight. A control unit (103) adjusts the luminance of the backlight (5) according to the outside light intensity sensed by the first light sensor (7) and the luminance of the backlight sensed by the second light sensor (8).</p> |
