1. An image display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel configured to display an image by transmitting light;
a plurality of light sources configured to apply light to the display panel;
at least one processor and/or at least one circuit that performs operations of the following units;
a first correction unit configured to generate a first image by increasing a gradation value of an input image that is smaller than a first gradation value;
a light-emission control unit configured to individually control light-emission brightness of each of the light sources based on brightness of each part of the first image corresponding to each of the light sources;
a second correction unit configured to generate a second image by correcting a gradation value of a pixel of the first image according to brightness of light applied to a region of the display panel corresponding to the pixel; and
a third correction unit configured to generate a third image by reducing a gradation value of the second image that is smaller than a second gradation value, whereintransmittance of the display panel is controlled based on the third image.

Abstract
An image display apparatus includes: a display unit; a plurality of light emitting units; and a light-emission controller configured to individually control light-emission brightness of each of the light emitting units, wherein in a case where brightness of light applied to a region of the display unit on which a black region of an input image is displayed is less than or equal to predetermined brightness, transmittance of the display unit is controlled such that transmittance of the region of the display unit corresponding to the black region becomes higher than that in a case in which the brightness is higher than the predetermined brightness.

7. A method for controlling an image display apparatus having
a display panel configured to display an image by transmitting light, and a plurality of light sources configured to apply light to the display panel, the method comprising: -
a first correction step of generating a first image by increasing a gradation value of an input image that is smaller than a first gradation value; a light-emission control step of individually controlling light-emission brightness of each of the light sources based on brightness of each part of the first image corresponding to each of the light sources; a second correction step of generating a second image by correcting a gradation value of a pixel of the first image according to brightness of light applied to a region of the display panel corresponding to the pixel; and a third correction step of generating a third image by reducing a gradation value of the second image that is smaller than a second gradation value; and a control step of controlling light transmittance of the display panel based on the third image. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
