Abstract
The present invention relates to a display control apparatus and method, and a program which make it possible to prevent deterioration in image quality due to insufficient luminance of light from a backlight. A backlight luminance calculating section () finds the backlight luminance of light to be radiated by a backlight, on the basis of the image signal of a display image. A moving image determining section () determines whether or not the display image is a moving image on the basis of the image signal. A correction value calculating section () increases the last correction value by a predetermined value to obtain a new correction value when the display image is a moving image, and decreases the last correction value by a predetermined value to obtain a new correction value when the display image is a still image. An addition section () adds the correction value to the backlight luminance to correct the backlight luminance. The present invention can be applied to a liquid crystal display apparatus.
