Claim Text:
1. An image display apparatus comprising: a light emitting unit composed of a plurality of light emitting blocks, the brightnesses of which are able to be adjusted individually; a display unit configured to display an image by modulating light from the light emitting unit; and a decision unit configured to divide a frame image into a plurality of divided areas, to determine whether each of the divided areas is a first region including a predetermined object or a second region not including the predetermined object, and to decide a brightness of each light emitting block based on a result of the determination of each divided area; wherein in cases where a divided area determined as the second region in a target frame for which brightnesses are to be decided has been determined as the first region in frames, which satisfy a predetermined condition, among past frames which precede the target frame, the decision unit decides the brightness of a light emitting block corresponding to the divided area to a brightness closer to the brightness of a light emitting block corresponding to a divided area determined as the first region as compared to the brightnesses of light emitting blocks corresponding to the other divided areas determined as the second region.
