DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A display device including a backlight part having a light-emitting part that emits illumination light and a display part configured so as to be capable of displaying information in color, using the illumination light from the backlight part,the display part having a plurality of pixels, and each of the pixels being provided with color filters formed of a plurality of colors,the display device comprising:
- a plurality of illuminating areas provided in the light-emitting part;
a plurality of light sources that are provided for each of the illuminating areas and emit light of colors corresponding to the colors of the color filters; and
a lighting control part that controls each lighting drive of the plurality of light sources in each of the plurality of illuminating areas, using an indication signal input from outside,wherein the color filter formed of a predetermined color among the color filters formed of a plurality of colors provided on each of the pixels has characteristics of transmitting light from the light source of the predetermined color corresponding to the color filter and light form the other light sources, andwhen the lighting control part determines that a brightness signal value indicated for the light source of the predetermined color is larger than brightness signal values indicated for the other light sources in each of the plurality of illuminating areas and that a value obtained by multiplying the brightness signal value indicated for the light source of the predetermined color by a predetermined ratio is equal to or more than the brightness signal values indicated for the other light sources, the lighting control part lights up the other light sources, using the brightness signal value indicated for the light source of the predetermined color.

Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid crystal display device with high color reproduction ability even when an area active backlight is driven. A liquid crystal display device (1) of the present invention drives a liquid crystal panel (2) and a backlight device (3), respectively, using a video signal input from outside. In the backlight device (3), a plurality of illuminating areas (Ha) are set on LED substrates (7) with respect to a plurality of display areas provided on the liquid crystal panel (2), and area active backlight drive is performed, which lights up light-emitting diodes (8) in the unit of the illuminating areas. When a backlight data processing part (lighting control part) (15) determines that a brightness signal value indicated for a blue light-emitting diode (light source of a predetermined color) (8b) is larger than brightness signal values indicated for other light-emitting diodes (8r, 8g), and determines that a value obtained by multiplying the brightness signal value indicated for the blue light-emitting diode (8b) by a predetermined ratio is equal to or more than the bright signal values indicated for the other light-emitting diodes (8r, 8g), the backlight data processing part (15) lights up the other light-emitting diodes (8r, 8g), using the brightness signal value indicated for the blue light-emitting diode (8b).
