Original Abstract Submitted
An image display method using an image display device is provided. The method includes performing a first operation to cause light to be emitted from light-emitting regions of a backlight at respective intensity in accordance with frame image data, sequentially with respect to each of first areas of the backlight, and performing a second operation to apply voltages to pixels of a liquid crystal panel at respective levels in accordance with the frame image data, sequentially with respect to each of second areas of the liquid crystal panel. Light-emitting regions in each of the first areas are repeatedly turned on and off a plurality of times during the first operation thereof.
