Claim:
1. A video display control device that controls displaying of a video on a display having a screen and a backlight for emitting light toward the screen, the video display control device comprising: a characteristic detecting section that detects a mean luminance of a video signal input to the video display control device and a value of a histogram relating to a luminance; a control data generating section that generates a control data for correcting the video signal based on values detected by the characteristic detecting section; a video signal processing section that corrects the video signal based on control data generated by the control data generating section and outputs a video signal after correction to the display; and a backlight controlling section that controls a light emission amount of the backlight based on a difference between the mean luminance of the video signal and a mean luminance of the video signal after the correction, wherein the control data generating section generates control data which is adapted to cause the video signal processing section to perform correction of allocating a dynamic range of a high gradation region of the video signal to a plurality of low gradation regions of the video signal; wherein the control data generating section, in the correction of allocating the dynamic range of the high gradation region of the video signal to the plurality of low gradation regions of the video signal, allocates an amount of the dynamic range or a rate of the dynamic range of the high gradation region to the plurality of low gradation regions respectively with weighted levels; and wherein the backlight controlling section controls a light emission luminance of the backlight so as to cancel an increase or decrease of a mean luminance of video displayed on the screen in accordance with an increase or decrease of the mean luminance of the video signal after the correction with respect to the mean luminance of the video signal.
