Provided is a backlight device, wherein when both the drive duty and the drive current are controlled in each of separated areas, the image quality is improved by preventing the change of luminance even when there is a difference between the adjustment resolutions of both the drive duty and the drive current. A light-emitting unit (121) comprises a plurality of light-emitting areas. A motion amount detecting unit (131) detects the motion amount of an image in each of a plurality of motion areas each corresponding to at least one or more light-emitting areas. A drive condition specifying unit specifies a drive condition including the duty and pulse height value of a drive pulse for causing each of the plurality of light-emitting areas to emit light, on the basis of the detected motion amount. A drive unit drives each of the plurality of light-emitting areas according to the specified drive condition. With one of the duty and the pulse height value of the drive pulse, the adjustment resolution of which of the drive unit with respect to the light emission luminance is lower, as a first parameter and the other the adjustment resolution of which is higher as a second parameter, the drive condition specifying unit determines the value of the first parameter on the basis of the detected motion amount, and thereafter determines the value of the second parameter on the basis of the determined value of the first parameter.

Disclosed is a backlight device that reduces elevated black levels and the visibility of flickering when displaying a video. A light-emitting unit (121) is provided with a plurality of light-emitting areas that individually emit illumination light, and illuminates a liquid crystal panel (110) with the illumination light from the plurality of light-emitting areas. A motion detection unit (150) detects image motion from an image signal. A brightness control unit (130) acquires a brightness determination reference value for each light-emitting area on the basis of the image signal, and in regards to each of the plurality of light-emitting areas, weights the acquired brightness determination reference value for each of the one or more light-emitting areas that constitute a weighting region and determines the light emission brightness value for each of the light-emitting areas on the basis of the weighting results. An LED driver (122) drives each of the plurality of light-emitting areas in accordance with the determined light emission brightness value for each of the light-emitting areas. The brightness control unit (130) dynamically sets the light-emitting areas that constitute the weighting areas in accordance with the detected motion.

Provided is a backlight device, wherein when the drive duty and drive current are controlled in each of predetermined light-emitting areas of a light-emitting unit, the color unevenness and moving image resolution difference between image display areas corresponding thereto are improved. A light-emitting unit (121) comprises a plurality of light-emitting areas. A motion amount detecting unit (131) detects the motion amount of an image in each of image display areas. A drive condition specifying unit specifies, with respect to each of the plurality of light-emitting areas, a drive condition including the duty and pulse height value of a drive pulse for causing each of the plurality of light-emitting areas to emit light, on the basis of the detected motion amount. An LED driver (123) drives each of the plurality of light-emitting areas on the specified drive condition. When a difference between the detected motion amounts occurs between adjacent image display areas, the drive condition specifying unit adjusts the drive conditions such that a difference between the drive conditions occurring between adjacent light-emitting areas is reduced according to the difference between the detected motion amounts.

Disclosed is a backlight device that suppresses the increase of maximum power consumption. A light-emitting unit (121) is provided with a plurality of light-emitting areas that individually emit illumination light. A power estimation unit (136) estimates the power consumption of the light-emitting unit (121). A duty lower-limit setting unit (137) varies the range in which drive conditions that include the duty and peak value of a drive pulse for causing each of the plurality of light-emitting areas to emit light can be set, in accordance with changes in the estimated power consumption. A drive condition specification unit specifies the drive conditions for each of the plurality of light-emitting areas within the varied range. An LED driver (123) drives each of the plurality of light-emitting areas under the specified drive conditions.

The backlight apparatus allows brightness control with minimum image quality deterioration. This apparatus has: an illuminating section that radiates illumination light on a back of a liquid crystal panel comprising a plurality of image display areas; and a brightness determining section that determines a light emission brightness value of the illuminating section and renews a light emitting state of the illuminating section, based on the determined light emission brightness value. The illuminating section has light emitting areas illuminating each of a plurality of image display areas. The brightness determining section determines light emission brightness values of the image display areas, from values acquired by applying weights to the information based on input image signals of the image display areas, and changes the weights for the information based on luminance of ambient light surrounding the backlight apparatus.

A light emitting element drive apparatus that drives light emitting elements reduces power loss caused by variability between forward voltage drops of the light emitting elements. A plurality of voltage applying sections (1, 32 and 33; and 2, 34 and 35) generate application voltages based on a detection voltage determined based on a maximum forward voltage drop among the forward voltage drops of the light emitting element arrays (11 to 14), and apply the generated application voltages to the light emitting elements (11 to 14). Switching sections (30 and 31) switch between a plurality of voltage applying sections (1, 32 and 33; and 2, 34 and 35) to which the light emitting element arrays (11 to 14) individually connect. Controlling sections (40 to 42) control the switching sections (30 and 31) to switch connection to minimize the difference between forward voltage drops of light emitting element arrays (11 to 14).

A movable enclosure contains optical components, such as an objective lens, a semiconductor laser, a mirror, and a photodetector. The movable enclosure is supported by a fixed member via a plurality of wires that are positioned in parallel.
