Abstract
Disclosed herein is a display device including: a liquid crystal display section adapted to display an image based on a video signal; a backlight; and a processing section adapted to correct the video signal and set the luminance of the backlight based on two pieces of information, a peak level of the video signal in a display screen or in each of a plurality of partial display areas into which the display screen is divided, and factor data obtained from a data map made up of a reference position on the display screen and the factor data that are associated with each other.

11. A display device comprising:
-
a liquid crystal display section to display an image based on a video signal on a display screen; a backlight; and a processing section to correct the video signal and set the luminance of the backlight based on two pieces of information, a peak level of the video signal in each of a plurality of partial display areas into which the display screen is divided, and a respective reference position of said each partial display area on the display screen, the backlight having a plurality of partial light-emitting sections each having a respective light source so to enable each partial light-emitting section to emit light independently of each other, each said partial light-emitting section being respectively associated with one of the partial display areas, and the processing section being configured to (i) obtain the respective peak level for said each partial display area, (ii) calculate a corrected peak level for said each partial display area by use of the respective peak level for said each partial display area and respective factor data which is associated with the respective reference position of the respective partial display area, and (iii) set for each of the partial light-emitting sections a luminance level according to the corrected peak level of the partial display area corresponding to the partial light-emitting section.

12. A display method comprising:
-
correcting a video signal and setting luminance of a backlight based on two pieces of information, a peak level of the video signal in each of a plurality of partial display areas into which the display screen is divided, and factor data obtained from a data map made up of a respective reference position of said each partial display area on a display screen and the factor data that are associated with each other so as to display an image based on the corrected video signal, the backlight having a plurality of partial light-emitting sections each having a respective light source so to enable each partial light-emitting section to emit light independently of each other, each said partial light-emitting section being respectively associated with one of the partial display areas, and a corrected peak level for said each partial display area being calculated by use of the respective peak level for said each partial display area and respective factor data which is associated with the respective reference position of the respective partial display area, and for each of the partial light-emitting sections a luminance level is set according to the corrected peak level of the partial display area corresponding to the partial light-emitting section.
