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.

An optical device includes a light-emitting element for irradiating light onto an information recording medium, a diffraction grating for splitting light emitted from said light-emitting element into a plurality of beams, a focussing member for focussing the plurality of beams onto the information recording medium, a deflection member for deflecting the plurality of beams after they have been reflected from the information recording medium; and a photodetector for receiving the plurality of beams after they have been deflected by the deflection member. The diffraction grating has a first grating region and a second grating region, which have different diffraction efficiencies. The zero-order diffraction light in the first grating region is used as the main beam for reproducing the information signal, and the +1-order or −1-order diffraction light in the second grating regions is used as sub-beams for reproduction of the tracking error signal. Thus, the light amount of both the main beam and the sub-beams can be increased without increasing the light emission of the semiconductor laser element 1, and the S/N ratio of the main beam and the sub-beams can be enhanced.

A semiconductor light-emitting unit includes: a semiconductor laser diode; a photodetector functioning as a sub-mount for mounting the diode thereon; and a heating member, incorporated with the photodetector, for heating the diode. If the ambient temperature of the diode falls within a range where kinks are possibly caused in the low-temperature I-L characteristic of the diode, then current is supplied to the heating member, thereby heating the diode. The heating member may be either a doped region defined within a semiconductor substrate or a doped polysilicon film formed on the substrate. Also, the heating member is preferably located under the laser diode with a heat-dissipating layer and an insulating layer interposed therebetween. The semiconductor light-emitting unit with this structure can effectively eliminate kinks from the low-temperature I-L characteristic of the semiconductor laser diode.
