Abstract
A field sequential processing unitincludes a representative value calculating unitconfigured to obtain a representative value for each pixel based on video data Ri, Gi, and Bi, a backlight data generating unitconfigured to generate backlight data Xb indicating brightness of LEDsin each area of the backlightbased on the obtained representative value, a video data correcting unitconfigured to correct the video data Ri, Gi, and Bi based on the backlight data Xb, and a field data generating unitconfigured to generate four pieces of field data Wf, Rf, Gf, and Bf based on the corrected video data Rc, Gc, Bc. By generating the backlight data based on the representative value for each pixel, it is possible to reduce a size of a circuit for obtaining brightness of the backlight for each area.
