VIDEO DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A video display device, comprising a display panel that displays a video signal, a backlight that uses an LED as a light source for illuminating the display panel, and a control portion that controls light emission luminance of the LED, the control portion dividing the backlight into a plurality of areas and controlling light emission luminance of an LED corresponding to each of the divided areas according to a video signal corresponding to each of the divided areas, whereinwhen a main screen and one or more secondary screens are displayed on the display panel, the control portion performs first luminance control for defining light emission luminance of an LED corresponding to a display area of the main screen according to a feature amount of a video indicated by the video signal displayed on a display area corresponding to each of the divided areas in the main screen and setting a part of the light emission luminance of the LED to be equal to or more than light emission luminance in the case of a video of white 100%, and independently of the first luminance control, performs second luminance control for controlling light emission luminance of an LED corresponding to a display area of the secondary screen at least other than a boundary area with the main screen to be constant.

Abstract
In the present invention, when a main screen and one or more secondary screens are displayed, the screen luminance for the main screen can be suitably controlled without being affected by video signal for the secondary screens. A video display device (1) is provided with an LED backlight (7) that illuminates an LCD panel (5) and an area active control portion (3) that controls the light emission luminance of the LED backlight (7). The area active control portion (3) divides the LED backlight (7) into a plurality of areas and controls the light emission luminance of the LEDs corresponding to each area according to the video signal corresponding to each area. When the LCD panel (5) displays the main screen and one or more secondary screens, the control portion (3) controls the light emission luminance of the LEDs corresponding to the display area for the main screen in a range where a total value of drive current of the LED is equal to or less than a predetermined allowable current value based on a lighting rate of the LED backlight (7) for the main screen, and independently of this luminance control, controls the light emission luminance of an LED corresponding to a display area of the secondary screens to be constant.
