Abstract
An LCD apparatus with an LCD panel displaying a picture thereon, including a backlight array in which a plurality of light emitting devices illuminating the LCD panel with a plurality of colors is arranged to have a predetermined pattern. A backlight driver drives each light emitting device to emit light and to adjust light intensity; and a controller controls the backlight driver to adjust a white balance of a picture displayed on the LCD panel. With this configuration, an LCD apparatus is provided, in which a white balance is adjusted without making a loss in a representable brightness level, i.e., brightness, and lowering a contrast ratio. Also included is an LCD apparatus, in which a white balance is adjusted according to formats of an input video signal.
