Abstract
A control unit is configured to enhance the contrast of an image through a simple process. The control unit is capable of connecting in a communicable manner to a point-of-gaze detection sensor and includes: a light-emission-intensity determination unit configured to determine a light emission intensity for each LED unit in such a manner that the light emission intensities of those LED units which are associated with a range of gaze including a point of gaze on a display screen are increased in excess of respective light emission intensities specified based on an image obtained from an HDR signal; and a light emission control unit configured to control light emission of the LED units.
