Abstract
An image display method includes generating luminance data, correcting the luminance data, generating gradation setting data, and controlling a backlight to operate based on the luminance setting data and a liquid crystal panel to operate based on the gradation setting data. The luminance data indicates a luminance value for each light-emitting region of the backlight and is generated based on a maximum gradation value among gradation values of image pixels of an input image that correspond to the light-emitting region. The luminance data is corrected such that, with respect to each light-emitting region, the luminance value is within a predetermined range below a maximum value among the luminance values of neighboring light-emitting regions, and luminance setting data is generated therefrom. The gradation setting data sets a gradation value of each pixel of the liquid crystal panel, and generated based on the input image and the luminance setting data.
