Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus has R, G, and B LEDs and a light guide plate for guiding and diffusing the light entering through an incident surface evenly over the plate. The bottom surface of the light guide plate has a diffusion portion where microdot pattern is printed to diffuse incident light. The liquid crystal display apparatus also has an optical sensor for receiving the light exiting from the light guide plate through a side surface, and a light-shielding member mounted in front of the optical sensor. The light-shielding member has pinholes to block the light incident on the optical sensor in the direction from the incident surface to the opposite surface at an incidence angle greater than a given angle. The luminance of the LEDs is controlled based on the light detected by the optical sensor.
