Liquid-crystal display apparatus and electronic device
First Claim
1. A liquid-crystal display apparatus comprising:
- a liquid-crystal panel having a color filter;
a first light source for irradiating first white light to said liquid-crystal panel;
a second light source for irradiating, second white light different from the first white light to said liquid-crystal panel;
illuminance detecting means for, detecting ambient illuminance of said liquid-crystal panel to output a detected signal; and
light source control means for switching said first and second light sources based on the detected signal from said illuminance detecting means.

Abstract
A liquid-crystal display apparatus includes a liquid-crystal panel (25) having a color filter (26), a W light-emitting diode (22w) for irradiating white light to the liquid-crystal panel (25), RGB light-emitting diodes (22r, 22g, 22b) for irradiating lights of more than two colors containing white to the liquid-crystal panel (25), a luminance sensor (44) for detecting ambient illuminance of the liquid-crystal panel (25) to output a detected signal and a control unit (41) for switching the W light-emitting diode (22w) and the RGB light-emitting diodes (22r, 22g, 22b) based on the detected signal from the luminance sensor (44). In a related-art liquid-crystal display apparatus, since lights of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) are emitted with a time lag and superimposed upon each other so that a clear color may not be obtained in each pixel, thus resulting in insufficient color reproducing capability. According to the present invention, these defects encountered with the related art can be obviated.
