摘要:
In a method of controlling power of a light emitting device for image display that irradiates illumination light from divided regions, light emission brightness data of each light emitting element of the light emitting device is determined based on image data for image display (S20). Power in each region and total light emission power are computed based on the light emission brightness data of each light emitting element for each region (S40). If the computed total light emission power exceeds predetermined allowable power, the power in each region is limited so that the total light emission power is equal to or less than the predetermined allowable power (S50).

In at least one example embodiment, the present invention includes a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image by virtue of having liquid crystals whose orientation changes in response to application of a voltage; a backlight unit with a built-in PWM light modulation type LED for emitting light to be supplied to the liquid crystal display panel; and a control unit for controlling the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight unit. In cases where the response speed of liquid crystal molecules is relatively high, the LED is driven at a relatively low drive frequency, whereas in cases where the response speed of the liquid crystal molecules is relatively low, the LED is driven at a relatively high drive frequency. According to the present invention, problems with image quality that tend to occur depending on the degree of tilting of the liquid crystal molecules (ghost outlines) are prevented.
