A display apparatus includes: a backlight module; a first panel configured to transmit light irradiated from the backlight module; a second panel configured to display an image on a screen by transmitting the light transmitted through the first panel; and a control unit configured to control a transmittance of the first panel based on a second image generated by applying smoothing to at least a part of a first image. A strength of smoothing applied to a first region of the first image corresponding to a center of the screen is lower than a strength of smoothing applied to a second region of the first image, the second region being different from the first region.
