Abstract
A video display device drives LEDs to emit light by light source driving circuits, detects maximum signal levels for the respective colors from video signals for an amount of n screens (n is an integer equal to or larger than one), and calculates amplification factors for the respective colors based on the detected maximum signal levels. In addition, the video display device amplifies the signal levels of the video signals based on the amplification factors for the respective colors calculated in a power saving mode for reducing power consumption, and controls drive current values of the LEDs to be respectively supplied to the light source driving circuits so as to cancel amplification amounts of brightnesses of the LEDs that correspond to amplification amounts of the signal levels of the video signals amplified.
