Video Display Apparatus and Video Display Method

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a video display apparatus includes a display module, a light source device, a video signal input module, a virtual illumination value calculator, a light source illumination value calculator, and a light source controller. The light source device is divided into light source areas in a honeycomb shape and provided with light sources to light up the light source areas. The virtual illumination value calculator calculates an area illumination value indicating the brightness of light source areas to light up based on a video signal received by the video signal input module. The light source illumination value calculator calculates a light source illumination value to light up the light sources based on the area illumination value. The light source controller lights up the light sources synchronously with the video signal being displayed on the display module based on the light source illumination value.
