Abstract
According to an aspect, a display apparatus includes: a plurality of light sources; a display device irradiated with light from the light sources; and a controller. The display area includes a plurality of partial areas corresponding to the light sources on a one-to-one basis. Each of the partial areas includes a first area and a second area, the first area being irradiated with light from a first light source that corresponds thereto, and the second area being irradiated with light from the first light source and a second light source adjacent to the first light source. The controller controls an operation of the first light source based on whether the first area requires the light from the first light source and whether the second area obtains light required for display output by receiving the light from the second light source.
