Liquid crystal display
A liquid crystal display includes: a liquid-crystal-display device; a display control circuit; a backlight device; and a light-emitting-diode control circuit that adjusts luminance of the backlight device using a pulse width modulation signal as an output to the white light emitting diode. Gradation correction data corresponding to a chromaticity variation due to a duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal is stored in the display control circuit in advance, the display control circuit determines the gradation correction data corresponding to input image data input to the liquid crystal display, based on the input image data and the duty ratio, and the display control circuit outputs output image data, which is calculated so as to correct the chromaticity variation based on the gradation correction data and the input image data, as the image signal to the liquid-crystal-display device.
