Liquid crystal display device

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel for performing color display, and a backlight unit that includes RGB-LEDs and white LEDs. The RGB-LEDs and the white LEDs are different from each other in color difference between a white point and each primary color point in the respective images displayed on the liquid crystal display panel when the RGB-LEDs and the white LEDs are individually turned on. Further, the light source includes a backlight control section arranged to select one type of the light-emitting elements to emit light, so that the color difference in an image display on the liquid crystal display panel is smaller when the image has a higher lightness.
