Virtual image display device, movable body, method for driving virtual image display device, and program

A method for driving a virtual image display device, the virtual image display device including a backlight including a plurality of light emitters and a light-emitting surface configured to emit light from the plurality of light emitters, a display panel including a display surface configured to display an image with light emitted from the light-emitting surface, and an optical system configured to enlarge an image of the display surface and an image of the light-emitting surface by different enlargement factors to form a virtual image in a field of view of a user, the method comprising:

• generating a second image by deforming a first image to be displayed on the display panel based on the enlargement factors by which the optical system enlarges the image of the display surface and the image of the light-emitting surface;
• and
• performing local dimming control by switching each of the plurality of light emitters between an emissive state and a non-emissive state based on the second image.
