1. A display device comprising:
- a backlight unit including a plurality of light-emitting regions including a first light emitting region and a second light emitting region that is adjacent to the first light-emitting region;
a display panel displaying images by using light emitted from the backlight unit;
a backlight driver driving the backlight unit; and
a luminance control signal generator controlling a luminance of the first light-emitting region according to an amount of light interference between the first light-emitting region and the second light-emitting region.

Abstract
A backlight unit for a display device that reduces power consumption while and display of undesirable artifacts in images is presented. The backlight unit is divided into a plurality of light-emitting regions, and a luminance control signal generator controls the luminance of light emitted by each of the light-emitting regions. The luminance of a particular light-emitting region is controlled by taking into account light interference from an adjacent light-emitting region. A display panel to display images through light emitted from the backlight unit, and a backlight driver drives the backlight unit.
