Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device that provides improved local dimming. The liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal display panel; a backlight unit divided and driven into a plurality of blocks and supplying light to the liquid crystal display panel; a local dimming value calculator calculating a dimming value of each of the blocks in accordance with input image data; and a backlight dimming controller having a pixel corrector correcting image data on the basis of the dimming values, in which the backlight dimming controller can correct at least some of the dimming values of the blocks calculated by the local dimming value calculator.
