A backlight used for a liquid crystal display including a plurality of liquid crystal display elements arranged in a matrix of n rows and m columns, in which constant-time row scanning is performed in row order to change the optical transmittance of the liquid crystal display elements includes a plurality of electron-emitting elements and a phosphor. Each of the electron-emitting elements is disposed so as to face a liquid crystal display element group including a plurality of adjacent liquid crystal display elements with the phosphor therebetween. An electron emission voltage is applied to electron-emitting elements facing liquid crystal display elements for which the row scanning is completed and whose optical transmittance becomes constant. The electron-emitting elements apply electrons to the phosphor. The phosphor is irradiated with electrons, and emits light to the liquid crystal display elements whose optical transmittance becomes constant.
