Abstract: A processing portion for conversion from RGB to RGBW includes a W generating circuit, a sub-pixel rendering circuit, a W intensity calculating portion which transmits a W intensity setting value to a W generating circuit, and a low power backlight control circuit which expands data on the basis of the RGBW pixels generated by the sub-pixel rendering portion and lowers the backlight in accordance with the amount by which the data is expanded.
