Abstract: In a video display apparatus, a backlight for illuminating a liquid crystal panel is segmented into a plurality of areas. A frequency distribution processing unit calculates a dark pixel amount from the frequency distribution of the gradation values of pixels in a video image. A backlight control unit calculates a lower limit of luminance in each area included in the backlight so that the lower limit increases as the dark pixel amount becomes smaller. The backlight control unit adjusts the luminance in each area individually according to the gradation values in each portion of the video image, and adjusts the luminance in an area where the luminance is less than the lower limit to the lower limit. The difference in luminance between the areas illuminating dark portions of the video image is decreased, and the occurrence of luminance blur resulting from the difference in luminance between the areas is reduced.

Abstract: A leading end portion of a lead wire holder located in a direction opposite to a direction in which six lead wires extend is inserted toward concave surfaces through an insertion opening. After the leading end portion has entered toward the concave surfaces and gotten out therefrom, the leading end portion is situated between opposed surfaces of hooks and a holder receiving portion bottom surface. With this arrangement, a back surface of a rear end portion located opposite to the leading end portion of the lead wire holder comes into contact with end surface portions of partitioning wall portions. An end surface portion of the rear end portion faces projecting portions. Then, the six lead wires are partially received in six lead wire receiving portions, respectively.
