Abstract
A brightness control unit includes: a 'feedback brightness control unit' that calculates a first gain from a corrected image data and multiplies the first gain by image data prior to correct; and a 'feedforward brightness control unit' which, when a scene change is detected, calculates a second gain on the basis of a difference between the first gain which is calculated from the corrected image data and the first gain which has been multiplied by the pre-correction image data of the corrected image data in order to correct the difference, and multiplies the second gain by the corrected image data.
