Information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a display panel which displays an image;
• a light source which illuminates the display panel, the light source including a first light emitting area in which first and second light emitting elements are arranged, and a second light emitting area which is adjacent to the first light emitting area, and in which third and fourth light emitting elements are arranged, the third light emitting element being connected in series to the first light emitting element, the fourth light emitting element being connected in series to the second light emitting element;
• a first control circuit connected to an anode side of the first light emitting element and a cathode side of the third light emitting element, and configured to adjust a value of current flowing in the first and third light emitting elements;
• and
• a second control circuit connected to an anode side of the second light emitting element and a cathode side of the fourth light emitting element, and configured to adjust a value of current flowing in the second and fourth light emitting elements.
