Abstract

There is provided an image displaying apparatus in which a light-source luminance calculator calculates light-source luminance of the light emitted by a backlight based on pixel values of an input image, a cumulative light-emission amount calculator calculates a cumulative light-emission amount by summing up light-source luminance for an arbitrary period for which an image is displayed at a time before the input image is displayed, the cumulative light-emission amount is compared with a reference light-emission amount determined in advance, and if the difference between the cumulative light-emission amount and the reference light-emission amount is smaller than a reference, a light-source luminance correcting unit corrects the light-source luminance to a smaller value to obtain corrected light-source luminance corrected.
