A liquid crystal display device 100 includes thermistors 28 provided separately from light-emitting diodes 22 in an area where the light-emitting diodes 22 are arranged, and a light emission control section 201 for controlling a voltage to be applied to the light-emitting diodes 22. Based on temperature information obtained from the thermistors 28, the light emission control section 201 decreases a target value v1 of the voltage to be applied to the light-emitting diodes 22 as the temperature increases and increases the target value v1 of the voltage to be applied to the light-emitting diodes 22 as the temperature decreases.
