Liquid crystal display device and image display method thereof

A backlight device is divided into multiple regions, and has a configuration in which light emitted from a light source of each of the regions is allowed to leak to other regions. A maximum gradation detector detects a maximum gradation of a regional image signal displayed on each of the regions of the liquid crystal panel. An image gain calculator obtains a gain to be multiplied to each regional image signal. An emission luminance calculator obtains an emission luminance of light to be emitted by each light source, by using an operation expression according to the emission luminance of light to be emitted by the backlight device. At this time, if the emission luminance takes a negative value as a result of calculation, the emission luminance calculator makes a correction so that the emission luminance can take a value equal to or greater than 0.

LED package, and illumination device and liquid crystal display device provided therewith

In an LED package, LED chips are connected in parallel by wires between lead frames connected to terminals. When an open circuit failure such as the coming off of the wire occurs in one of the LED chips in the LED package that is being energized, a current twice as high as that flowing through the other LED chip prior to the open circuit failure is passed through the other LED chip, and thus the amount of light emitted therefrom is increased about two-fold. Consequently, the amount of light emitted from the LED package does not change significantly.
