     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     In the following, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. It is to be noted that description will be made in the following order. 
     1. Embodiment 
     2. Application Example 
     1. &lt;Embodiment&gt; 
     CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE 
       FIG. 1  illustrates one configuration example of a display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. A display  1  is a display that operates by a so-called field sequential driving scheme. It is to be noted that since a display control method and a display control device according to embodiments of the present disclosure are embodied by the present embodiment, description thereof will be made together with description of the display  1 . 
     The display  1  includes an image input section  11 , a color correction section  12 , a memory  9 , a memory control section  13 , a signal correction section  14 , a liquid crystal display section  20 , an analysis section  15 , a threshold value setting section  16 , a control section  17 , a backlight control section  18 , and a backlight  30 . 
     The image input section  11  is an interface used to input an image signal which may be an RGB signal from external equipment such as a PC (Personal Computer) and so forth. The image input section  11  is adapted to output the image signal so input as image signals SR 1 , SG 1 , and SB 1 , and a synchronous signal Sync 1  that synchronizes with the image signals SR 1 , SG 1 , and SB 1 . Here, the image signal SR 1  is a signal that includes luminance information IR of red (R), the image signal SG 1  is a signal that includes luminance information IG of green (G), and the image signal SB 1  is a signal that includes luminance information IB of blue (B). 
     The color correction section  12  is adapted to perform color-related correction such as gamma correction, color irregularity correction and so forth on the basis of the image signals SR 1 , SG 1 , and SB 1 , and the synchronous signal Sync 1 . The color correction section  12  is configured to generate image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  by performing such correction as mentioned above, and to generate a synchronous signal Sync 2  that synchronizes with the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2 . It is to be noted that although in this example, the color correction section  12  is configured to perform the color-related correction, the color correction section  12  may be configured to perform signal processing other than the color-related correction. 
     The memory  9  is a so-called frame memory that stores the luminance information IR included in the image signal SR 2 , the luminance information IG included in the image signal SG 2 , and the luminance information IB included in the image signal SB 2  each by the amount of one frame. The memory  9  is configured such that operations of writing and reading-out the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB into and from the memory  9  are controlled by the memory control section  13 . 
     The memory control section  13  is adapted to control the operations of writing and reading-out the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB into and from the memory  9 . Specifically, in the writing operation, the memory control section  13  makes the memory  9  store the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB included in the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2 , and the synchronous signal Sync 2 . Thus, for example, the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB corresponding to one frame may be stored into the memory  9 . In addition, in the reading-out operation, the memory control section  13  reads out only the luminance information to be displayed out of the pieces of one-frame luminance information IR, IG, and IB from the memory  9  in instructed order on the basis of a memory control signal SMEM as described later. Specifically, the memory control section  13  sequentially reads out any of the one-frame luminance information IR (a red image PR), the one-frame luminance information IG (a green image PG), and the one-frame luminance information IB (a blue image PB) in each subfield SF (described later) on the basis of the memory control signal SMEM. At that time, the memory control section  13  reads out only an image to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB. The memory control section  13  is configured to then output one or more of the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB read out from the memory  9  as an image signal SIG 3  (a field sequential signal), and to generate and output a synchronous signal Sync 3  that synchronizes with the image signal SIG 3 . 
     The signal correction section  14  is adapted to perform signal correction on the basis of the image signal SIG 3  and the synchronous signal Sync 3 . Specifically, the signal correction section  14  may be adapted to correct the one or more pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB on the basis of, for example, the one or more pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB in the plurality of adjacent subfields SF (described later). One example of such correction may include overdrive correction. The signal correction section  14  is configured to generate an image signal SIG 4  by performing the above-mentioned correction, and to generate a synchronous signal Sync 4  that synchronizes with the image signal SIG 4 . 
     The liquid crystal display section  20  is adapted to perform display by driving liquid crystal display elements and modulating light emitted from the backlight  30 . 
       FIG. 2  illustrates one example of a block diagram of the liquid crystal display section  20 . The liquid crystal display section  20  includes a timing control section  21 , a gate driver  22 , a data driver  23 , and a pixel array section  24 . The timing control section  21  is adapted to control drive timings of the gate driver  22  and the data driver  23  on the basis of the image signal SIG 4  and the synchronous signal Sync 4 , to generate an image signal Sdisp on the basis of the image signal SIG 4 , and to supply the image signal Sdisp to the data driver  23 . The gate driver  22  is adapted to sequentially select and sequentially scan pixels Pix in the pixel array section  24  row by row in accordance with timing control by the timing control section  21 . The data driver  23  is adapted to generate a pixel voltage Vpix which is an analog signal by performing D/A (digital/analog) conversion on the basis of the image signal Sdisp and to supply the pixel voltage Vpix to each pixel Pix in the pixel array section  24 . 
     The pixel array section  24  is a section in which the pixels Pix are arranged in a matrix. Each pixel Pix is adapted to perform display in time division on the basis of the pixel voltage Vpix corresponding to the luminance information IR, the pixel voltage Vpix corresponding to the luminance information IG, and the pixel voltage Vpix corresponding to the luminance information IB. That is, each pixel Pix does not include so-called sub-pixels and is configured to perform display of red, green, and blue in time division. It is to be noted that the backlight  30  emits red light, green light, and blue light in time division in synchronization with a displaying operation on the pixel array section  24  as described later. Thus, the display  1  displays the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB in time division. 
     Since it is possible to achieve a simple configuration of the display  1  in comparison with a case where the plurality of sub-pixels are included in each pixel Pix in the liquid crystal display section  20  owing to the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to miniaturize the display  1  and/or to increase the resolution of the display  1 . In addition, for example, when the display  1  is applied to a projector, it is possible to reduce the number of liquid crystal display sections to one and to eliminate an optical component in comparison with a case where, for example, red, green and blue liquid crystal display sections and the optical component such as a prism or the like are provided. Therefore, miniaturization of the display  1  is possible and cost saving is possible. 
     The analysis section  15  is adapted to determine the image to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  and the synchronous signal Sync 1  and to output a result of determination as color information CI. Specifically, the analysis section  15  may obtain a histogram concerning to luminance levels of, for example, the image signal SR 2  on the basis of the one-frame luminance information IR included in the image signal SR 2 , and may determine that the red image PR is to be displayed when the luminance levels are equal to or are distributed above a predetermined luminance level (a threshold value Lth). In other words, the analysis section  15  determines that the red image is not to be displayed when all of the luminance levels of the one-frame luminance information IR are less than the threshold value Lth. The analysis section  15  determines whether the green image PG is to be displayed on the basis of the one-frame luminance information IG included in the image signal SG 2  and determines whether the blue image PB is to be displayed on the basis of the one-frame luminance information IB included in the image signal SB 2  in the same way. Then, the analysis section  15  is configured to output each result of determination so performed as the color information CI. 
     It is to be noted that although in this example, the analysis section  15  performs determination using the histogram, the way of determining the image to be displayed is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and, for example, the histogram may not be used. For example, the luminance levels of the one-frame luminance information IR included in the image signal SR 2  may be monitored, and when there exists a luminance level which is more than or equal to the predetermined luminance level (the threshold value Lth) in the luminance information IR, it may be determined that the red image PR is to be displayed. The same also applies to the green image PG and the blue image PB. 
     The threshold value setting section  16  is adapted to supply the threshold value Lth to the analysis section  15 . The threshold value Lth serves as an evaluation standard when the analysis section  15  determines the image to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB. For example, 0 (zero) or a sufficiently low value which is higher than zero may be set as the threshold value Lth. In this case, it may be desirable to set the threshold value Lth in consideration of, for example, characteristics of gamma correction and so forth performed by the color correction section  12 . The threshold value Lth may be set (preset) to a predetermined value in advance or a user may optionally set the threshold value Lth. 
     The control section  17  is adapted to set the subfields SF of the number which is the same as the number of the images to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB in a one-frame period on the basis of the color information CI, and to control the display  1  so as to display the images in the respective subfields SF. 
     Specifically, for example, when the color information CI indicates that all of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed, the control section  17  may set three subfields SF in the one-frame period. Then, the control section  17  controls the display  1  so as to display the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB in this order in the three subfields SF. It is to be noted that although in this example, the images are displayed in order of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB, the order is not limited to the above-mentioned one and the images may be displayed in any other order. In addition, for example, when the color information CI indicates that two of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed, the control section  17  may set two subfields SF in the one-frame period. Then, the control section  17  may control the display  1  so as to sequentially display these two images in the two subfields SF. In addition, for example, when the color information CI indicates that only one of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB is to be displayed, the control section  17  may set one subfield SF in the one-frame period. Then, the control section  17  may control the display  1  so as to display this one image in the one subfield SF. 
     The control section  17  generates the memory control signal SMEM and a backlight control signal SBL when performing the above-mentioned processing. The memory control signal SMEM is a signal used to control the operation of reading out the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB from the memory  9  in accordance with the subfield(s) SF so set. Specifically, when the red image PR is to be displayed in a certain subfield SF, the control section  17  instructs the memory control section  13  using the memory control signal SMEM so as to read out the one-frame luminance information IR from the memory  9  and to output the read-out luminance information IR as the image signal SIG 3 . When the green image PG is to be displayed in a certain subfield SF, the control section  17  instructs the memory control section  13  using the memory control signal SMEM so as to read out the one-frame luminance information IG from the memory  9  and to output the read-out luminance information IG as the image signal SIG 3  in the same way. In addition, when the blue image PB is to be displayed in a certain subfield SF, the control section  17  instructs the memory control section  13  using the memory control signal SMEM so as to read out the one-frame luminance information IB from the memory  9  and to output the read-out luminance information IB as the image signal SIG 3  in the same way. 
     The backlight control signal SBL is a signal used to control a light emitting operation of the backlight  30  in accordance with the set subfield(s) SF. Specifically, when the red image PR is to be displayed in the certain subfield SF, the control section  17  instructs the backlight control section  18  so as to make a light emitting section  30 R (described later) of the backlight  30  emit light using the backlight control signal SBL. When the green image PG is to be displayed in the certain subfield SF, the control section  17  instructs the backlight control section  18  so as to make a light emitting section  30 G (described later) of the backlight  30  emit light using the backlight control signal SBL, and when the blue image PB is to be displayed in the certain subfield SF, the control section  17  instructs the backlight control section  18  so as to make a light emitting section  30 B (described later) of the backlight  30  emit light using the backlight control signal SBL in the same way. In addition, the control section  17  also has a function of generating and outputting a synchronous signal SyncB that synchronizes with the backlight control signal SBL. 
     The backlight control section  18  is adapted to generate light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB on the basis of the backlight control signal SBL and the synchronous signal SyncB. The light emission control signal CTLR is a signal used to control light emission of the light emitting section  30 R (described later) of the backlight  30 , the light emission control signal CTLG is a signal used to control light emission of the light emitting section  30 G (described later), and the light emission control signal CTLB is a signal used to control light emission of the light emitting section  30 B (described later). The light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB are used to indicate light emission timings, light emission periods, light emission luminances to the respective light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. 
     The backlight  30  is adapted to independently emit the red light, the green light, and the blue light on the basis of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB and radiate the light so emitted to the liquid crystal display section  20 . 
       FIG. 3  schematically illustrates one configuration example of the backlight  30 . The backlight  30  includes the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B. Each of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may be configured by using, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode). The light emitting section  30 R performs surface-emission of the red (R) light on the basis of the light emission control signal CTLR, the light emitting section  30 G performs surface-emission of the green (G) light on the basis of the light emission control signal CTLG, and the light emitting section  30 B performs surface-emission of the blue (B) light on the basis of the light emission control signal CTLB. Thus, it is possible for the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B to emit light independently from one another. 
     In the display  1 , the image(s) to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB is/are determined so as to dynamically change the number of subfields SF in the one-frame period in this way. Thus, the display  1  is configured to make it possible to increase display luminance and to make it possible to reduce power consumption when such an image that only one or two of the red light, the green light, and the blue light is/are used is to be displayed as in the case of a so-called blue screen as described later. 
     Here, the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B correspond to one specific example of a “plurality of light emitting sections” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. The analysis section  15 , the control section  17 , and the backlight control section  18  correspond to one specific example of a “light emission control section” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. The liquid crystal display section  20  corresponds to one specific example of a “display section” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Each of the pieces of the luminance information IR, IG, and IB corresponds to one specific example of “luminance information” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. The memory control section  13  corresponds to one specific example of a “display control section” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     (Operations and Functions) 
     (Outline of General Operation) 
     First, an outline of the general operation of the display  1  will be described with reference to  FIG. 1  and so forth. The image input section  11  inputs an image signal from external equipment. The color correction section  12  performs the color-related correction such as the gamma correction, the color irregularity correction and so forth on the image signal and generates the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2 . The analysis section  15  determines the image to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  and outputs the result of determination as the color information CI. The control section  17  sets the subfields SF of the number which is the same as the number of the images to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB in the one-frame period on the basis of the color information CI, and generates the memory control signal SMEM and the backlight control signal SBL. The memory  9  stores the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB included in the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2 . The memory control section  13  controls the operations of writing and reading out the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB into and from the memory  9  on the basis of the memory control signal SMEM and outputs the read-out pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and/or IB as the image signal SIG 3 . The signal correction section  14  performs signal correction on the image signal SIG 3 . The liquid crystal display section  20  performs display by driving the liquid crystal display elements and modulating the light radiated from the backlight  30 . The backlight control section  18  generates the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB on the basis of the backlight control signal SBL. The light emitting section  30 R of the backlight  30  performs surface-emission of the red light on the basis of the light emission control signal CTLR, the light emitting section  30 G performs surface-emission of the green light on the basis of the light emission control signal CTLG, and the light emitting section  30 B performs surface-emission of the blue light on the basis of the light emission control signal CTLB. 
     (Detailed Operations) 
     In the following, the detailed operations of the display  1  will be described. Here, description will be made by giving the following three cases C 1  to C 3  as examples. In the case C 1 , a case where a usual and general image is to be displayed is assumed. Specifically, the case C 1  is applied when the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB having luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth are included in the respective pieces of one-frame luminance information IR, IG, and IB. In the case C 2 , a case where an image in which a black letter or character is arranged against the yellow background is to be displayed is assumed. Specifically, the case C 2  is applied when although the pieces of luminance information IR and IG having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth are included in the respective pieces of one-frame luminance information IR and IG, the luminance information IB having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth is not included in the one-frame luminance information IB. In the case C 3 , a case where, for example, an image (the so-called blue screen) in which the black letter or character is arranged against the blue background is to be displayed is assumed. Specifically, the case C 3  is applied when although the luminance information IB having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth is included in the one-frame luminance information IB, the pieces of luminance information IR and IG having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth are not included in the respective pieces of one-frame luminance information IR and IG. 
     (Case C 1 ) 
     In the case C 1 , since the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth are included in the respective pieces of one-frame luminance information IR, IG, and IB, the analysis section  15  determines that all of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed and informs the control section  17  of that determination using the color information CI. In this case, the control section  17  sets three subfields SF in the one-frame period and generates the memory control signal SMEM and the backlight control signal SBL. The memory control section  13  reads out the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR), the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG), and the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB) in these respective three subfields SF from the memory  9  on the basis of the memory control signal SMEM, and outputs the information so read-out as the image signal SIG 3 . Then, the signal correction section  14  performs correction on the image signal SIG 3  and generates the image signal SIG 4 . In addition, the backlight control section  18  generates the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB on the basis of the backlight control signal SBL. 
       FIG. 4  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  1  in the case C 1 , in which (A) schematically illustrates an example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. In (A) of  FIG. 4 , “PR” indicates the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR), “PG” indicates the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG), and “PB” indicates the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB). In addition, in this example, a high level indicates light emission and a low level indicates light extinction in each of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. 
     In the case C 1 , the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 4 ), and the high-level light emission control signal CTLR and the low-level light emission control signals CTLG and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 4 ) in the first subfield SF in the one-frame period. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the red image PR and the light emitting section  30 R of the backlight  30  emits the red light. In addition, the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 4 ), and the high-level light emission control signal CTLG and the low-level light emission control signals CTLR and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 4 ) in the second subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the green image PG and the light emitting section  30 G of the backlight  30  emits the green light. In addition, the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 4 ), and the high-level light emission control signal CTLB and the low-level light emission control signals CTLR and CTLG are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 4 ) in the third subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the blue image PB and the light emitting section  30 B of the backlight  30  emits the blue light. The display  1  displays a colored image by displaying the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB in time division in this way. 
     (Case C 2 ) 
     In the case C 2 , although the pieces of luminance information IR and IG having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth are included in the respective pieces of one-frame luminance information IR and IG, the luminance information IB having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth is not included in the luminance information IB. Therefore, the analysis section  15  determines that only the red image PR and the green image PG are to be displayed and informs the control section  17  of this determination using the color information CI. In this case, the control section  17  sets two subfields SF in the one-frame period and generates the memory control signal SMEM and the backlight control signal SBL. The memory control section  13  reads out the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR) and the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG) from the memory  9  in the respective two subfields SF on the basis of the memory control signal SMEM, and outputs the information so read-out as the image signal SIG 3 . That is, the memory control section  13  does not read out the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB) from the memory  9 . Then, the signal correction section  14  performs correction on the image signal SIG 3  and generates the image signal SIG 4 . In addition, the backlight control section  18  generates the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB on the basis of the backlight control signal SBL. 
       FIG. 5  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  1  in the case C 2 , in which (A) schematically illustrates one example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of the waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. In the case C 2 , the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 5 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLR and the low-level light emission control signals CTLG and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 5 ) in the first subfield SF in the one-frame period. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the red image PR and the light emitting section  30 R of the backlight  30  emits the red light. In addition, the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 5 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLG and the low-level light emission control signals CTLR and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 5 ) in the second subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the green image PG and the light emitting section  30 G of the backlight  30  emits the green light. The display  1  displays a yellow image by displaying the red image PR and the green image PG, in time division in this way. That is, since all of the luminance levels of the one-frame luminance information IB are less than the threshold value Lth, the analysis section  15  determines that display of the blue image PB is not necessary and the display  1  displays the two images (the red image PR and the green image PG) excluding the blue image PB in time division. 
     (Case C 3 ) 
     In the case C 3 , although the luminance information IB having the luminance levels that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth is included in the one-frame luminance information IB, the pieces of luminance information IR and IG having the luminance values that are more than or equal to the threshold value Lth are not included in the respective pieces of one-frame luminance information IR and IG. Therefore, the analysis section  15  determines that only the blue image PB is to be displayed and informs the control section  17  of this determination using the color information CI. In this case, the control section  17  sets one subfield SF in the one-frame period and generates the memory control signal SMEM and the backlight control signal SBL. The memory control section  13  reads out the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB) from the memory  9  in the one subfield SF and outputs the information so read-out as the image signal SIG 3 . That is, the memory control section  13  does not read out the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR) and the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG) from the memory  9 . Then, the signal correction section  14  performs correction on the image signal SIG 3  and generates the image signal SIG 4 . In addition, the backlight control section  18  generates the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB on the basis of the backlight control signal SBL. 
       FIG. 6  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  1  in the case C 3 , in which (A) schematically illustrates one example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of the waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. In the case C 3 , the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 6 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLB and the low-level light emission control signals CTLR and CTLG are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 6 ) in the one-frame period (the subfield SF). Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the blue image PB and the light emitting section  30 B of the backlight  30  emits the blue light. The display  1  displays only the blue image PB in this way. That is, since all of the luminance levels of each of the pieces of one-frame luminance information IR and IG are less than the threshold value Lth, the analysis section  15  determines that display of the red image PR and the green image PG is not necessary and the display  1  displays only the blue image PB. 
     In the display  1 , the analysis section  15  determines the image(s) to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB in this way. Then, the control section  17  dynamically changes the number of the subfields SF in the one-frame period in accordance with the number of images to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB on the basis of a result of the above-mentioned determination, and controls the display  1  so as to display the images in the respective subfields SF. In other words, in the display  1 , whether the image that has been supplied is the usual image (for example, the case C 1 ) or the image that only one or two of the red light, the green light, and the blue light is/are used as in the case of the so-called blue screen (for example, the case C 2  or C 3 ) is determined, and in the latter case, the number of the subfields SF in the one-frame period is reduced. Thus, it is possible to increase the display luminance of the display  1  and it is also possible to reduce the power consumption when the image that only one or two of the red light, the green light, and the blue light is/are used is to be displayed as described below in comparison with a comparative example. 
     COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 
     In the following, a display  1 R according to the comparative example will be described. The display  1 R is adapted to constantly set three subfields SF in the one-frame period. 
       FIG. 7  illustrates one configuration example of the display  1 R according to the comparative example. The display  1 R includes a control section  13 R. The control section  13 R is adapted to control the operations of writing and reading out the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and/or IB into and from the memory  9  on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2 , and the synchronous signal Sync 2 , and to output the read-out pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and/or IB as the image signal SIG 3 . Specifically, the control section  13 R constantly sets the three subfields SF in the one-frame period, reads out the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR), the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG), and the one-frame luminance information IB (the blue image PB) in the respective three subfields SF, and outputs the read-out information as the image signal SIG 3 . In addition, the control section  13 R also has a function of generating the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB that synchronize with display of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB. 
       FIG. 8  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  1 R in the case C 2  and  FIG. 9  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  1 R in the case C 3 . In each of  FIGS. 8 and 9 , (A) schematically illustrates one example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of the waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. It is to be noted that the operation of the display  1 R in the case C 1  is the same as that in the case ( FIG. 4 ) of the present embodiment. The control section  13 R sets the three subfields SF in the one-frame period irrespective of the cases C 1  to C 3  in this way. Then, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the red image PR and the light emitting section  30 R of the backlight  30  emits the red light in the first subfield SF in the one-frame period, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the green image PG and the light emitting section  30 G of the backlight  30  emits the green light in the second subfield SF, and the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the blue image PB and the light emitting section  30 B of the backlight  30  emits the blue light in the third subfield SF. 
     However, since in the case C 2 , all of the luminance levels of the one-frame luminance information IB are less than the threshold value Lth, the blue image PB is displayed as a near black blue image. Therefore, in the example in  FIG. 8 , although the light emitting section  30 B emits light, the display  1 R performs black display and therefore a period that hardly contributes to display is created in the third subfield SF. In the case C 3 , since all of the luminance levels of each of the pieces of one-frame luminance information IR and IG are less than the threshold value Lth, both of the red image PR and the green image PG are displayed as near black images similarly. Therefore, in the example in  FIG. 9 , although the light emitting sections  30 R and  30 G emit light, the display  1 R performs the black display and therefore the period that hardly contributes to display is created in each of the first and second subfields SF. 
     Since in the display  1 R according to the comparative example, the number of subfields SF in the one-frame period has been fixed to three as described above, the period that hardly contributes to display is created when the image in which only one or two of the red light, the green light, and the blue light is/are used is to be displayed as in the case of the so-called blue screen. In such a period, the power consumption may possibly be wasted due to light emission of the backlight  30  (the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B). 
     On the other hand, the display  1  according to the present embodiment is configured such that the image(s) to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB is/are determined and the number of subfields SF in the one-frame period is dynamically changed depending on the image(s) to be displayed. Thus, since it is possible to omit the period that does not contribute to display in the display  1 , it is possible to increase the display luminance of the display  1  and it is also possible to suppress waste of the power consumption. That is, for example, as to the case C 2 , the example in  FIG. 5  according to the embodiment may correspond to an example in which the light emission period (the third subfield SF) of the light emitting section  30 B is omitted and the light emission periods (the first and second subfields SF) of the light emitting sections  30 R and  30 G are lengthened in  FIG. 8  according to the comparative example. Thus, it is possible to increase the display luminance of the display  1  and it is also possible to suppress waste of the power consumption caused by light emission of the light emitting section  30 B. For example, as for the case C 3 , the example in  FIG. 6  according to the present embodiment may correspond to an example in which the light emission periods (the first and second subfields SF) of the light emitting sections  30 R and  30 G are omitted and the light emission period (the third subfield SF) of the light emitting section  30 B is lengthened in  FIG. 9  according to the comparative example in the same way. Thus, it is possible to increase the display luminance and the image quality of the display  1  and it is also possible to suppress waste of the power consumption caused by light emission of the light emitting sections  30 R and  30 G. 
     In addition, since in the display  1 R according to the comparative example, the three subfields are constantly set in the one-frame period, it is necessary for the liquid crystal display section  20  to perform scan driving three times in the one-frame period constantly and therefore the power consumption may possibly be increased. 
     On the other hand, since in the display  1  according to the present embodiment, the number of subfields SF in the one-frame period is dynamically changed, it is possible to reduce the number of times of performing scan driving by the liquid crystal display section  20  depending on the image(s) to be displayed and therefore it is possible to reduce the power consumption. 
     (Effects) 
     Since in the present embodiment, the number of subfields SF in the one-frame period is dynamically changed as described above, it is possible to increase the display luminance and the image quality of the display and it is also possible to reduce the power consumption when such display that only one or two of the red light, the green light, and the blue light is/are used is to be performed as in the case of the blue screen. 
     Modification Example 1 
     Although the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB have been made to transit at a start timing of each subfield SF in the above-mentioned embodiment, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. The backlight control section  18  may be configured to set a start timing and a finish timing of each pulse (a pulse phase and a pulse width) in each of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB, for example, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . In the example illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the timings are set such that the pulse widths of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB are made different from one another. It is possible to make each of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B emit light at a timing that liquid crystal response and so forth of the liquid crystal display section  20  are taken into account, by configuring so as to set the start timing and the finish timing of each pulse as described above. 
     Modification Example 2 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, one subfield SF has been set in the one-frame period when one of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB is to be displayed (for example, the case C 3 ), the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, for example, as illustrated in  FIG. 11 , a plurality (in this example, three) of the subfields SF may be set in the one-frame period and the same image (in this example, the blue image PB) may be repetitively displayed. Thus, since scan driving is performed a plurality of times (in this example, three times) in the one-frame period in the liquid crystal display section  20 , it is possible to reduce degradation of image quality caused by leakage in a transistor of the pixel Pix. Even in this case, a configuration that allows setting of the start timing and the finish timing (the pulse phase and the pulse width) of each pulse in each of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB may be possible as illustrated in  FIG. 12 . 
     Modification Example 3 
     Although, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the two subfields have been set in the one-frame period when two of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed (for example, the case C 2 ), the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, three or more subfields SF may be set in the one-frame period or one subfield SF may be set in the one-frame period. In the following, the present modification example will be described in detail by giving several examples thereof. 
     First, a display  2  according to the present modification example will be described. The display  2  is adapted to set four subfields SF in the one-frame period in the case C 2 . 
       FIG. 13  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  2  in the case C 2 , in which (A) schematically illustrates one example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of the waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. The display  2  sets the four subfields SF in the one-frame period in the case C 2 . In the display  2 , the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 13 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLR and the low-level light emission control signals CTLG and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 13 ) in the first subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the red image PR and the light emitting section  30 R of the backlight  30  emits the red light. Then, the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG) is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 13 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLG and the low-level light emission control signals CTLR and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 13 ) in the second subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the green image PG and the light emitting section  30 G of the backlight  30  emits the green light. Then, the one-frame luminance information IR (the red image PR) which is the same as the information in the first subfield SF is again supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 13 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLR and the low-level light emission control signals CTLG and CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 13 ) in the third subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the red image PR and the light emitting section  30 R of the backlight  30  emits the red light. Then, the one-frame luminance information IG (the green image PG) which is the same as the information in the second subfield SF is again supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 13 ) and the high-level light emission control signal CTLG and the low-level light emission control signals CTLR and CTLB are supplied to the backlight ((B) of  FIG. 13 ) in the fourth subfield SF. Thus, the liquid crystal display section  20  displays the green image PG and the light emitting section  30 G of the backlight  30  emits the green light. 
     The display  2  displays the red image PR and the green image PG two times per image in time division in the one-frame period in this way. For example, it is possible to reduce the probability that a viewer feels as if the image quality has been reduced when the viewer has not viewed a display screen for a very short period of time by blinking eyes as described below in comparison with the display  1 R according to the comparative example. 
       FIG. 14  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  1 R according to the comparative example in the case C 2  and  FIG. 15  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  2  according to the modification example in the case C 2 . In each of  FIG. 14  and  FIG. 15 , (A) schematically illustrates one example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of the waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. 
     In the display  1 R according to the comparative example, when the viewer has not observed the display screen of the display  1 R in a very short period PV from timings t 1  to t 2 , the viewer may possibly see a color which is different from the original color immediately before the timing t 1  and immediately after the timing t 2  as illustrated in  FIG. 14 . Specifically, in this example, the viewer may possibly recognize that a somewhat reddish image is displayed on the display screen immediately before the timing t 1  and may possibly recognize that a somewhat greenish image is displayed on the display screen immediately after the timing t 2 . In the display  1 R according to the comparative example, the viewer may possibly feel that the image quality has been reduced due to occurrence of so-called “color breakup” as described above. 
     On the other hand, in the display  2  according to the present modification example, it is possible for the viewer to see the color which is almost the same as the original color even immediately before the timing t 1  and immediately after the timing t 2  as illustrated in  FIG. 15 . That is, since in the display  2 , many subfields SF are set in the one-frame period, it is possible to reduce the possibility of occurrence of the color breakup and therefore it is possible to increase the image quality. 
     In the following, a display  3  according to the present modification example will be described. The display  3  is adapted to set one subfield SF in the one-frame period and to make two of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B emit light. 
       FIG. 16  illustrates one configuration example of the display  3  according to the present modification example. The display  3  includes a control section  47  and a signal generation section  43 . 
     The control section  47  is adapted to set one or the plurality of subfields SF in the one-frame period on the basis of the color information CI and to control the display  3  so as to display each image in each of the subfields SF as in the control section  17  according to the above-mentioned embodiment. At that time, when the color information CI indicates that two of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed, the control section  47  sets one subfield SF in the one-frame period. Then, in this case, the control section  47  generates a control signal SSIG indicating that the two images correspond to which images of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB. It is to be noted that when the color information CI indicates that all of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed (for example, the case C 1 ) or indicates that one of these images is to be displayed (for example, the case C 3 ), the control section  47  operates in the same way as the control section  17 . 
     The signal generation section  43  is adapted to generate an image signal S 10  and a synchronous signal Sync 10  that synchronizes with the image signal S 10  on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2 , the synchronous signal Sync 2 , and the control signal SSIG. 
     At that time, when two of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed (for example, the case C 2 ), the signal generation section  43  generates an image of a combination color of those two images on the basis of the control signal SSIG and outputs the image so generated as the image signal S 10 . Specifically, for example, when the control signal SSIG indicates that the red image PR and the green image PG are to be displayed, the signal generation section  43  may generate a yellow image PY and may output the image signal S 10  that includes luminance information IY of yellow (Y). In addition, for example, when the control signal SSIG indicates that the green image PG and the blue image PB are to be displayed, the signal generation section  43  may generate a cyan image PC and may output the image signal S 10  that includes luminance information IC of cyan (C). In addition, for example, when the control signal SSIG indicates that the red image PR and the blue image PB are to be displayed, the signal generation section  43  may generate a magenta image PM and may output the image signal S 10  that includes luminance information IM of magenta (M). Here, for example, RGB/YUV conversion may be performed on the basis of the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB included in the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  and a Y component in the YUV signal so converted may be used as the pieces of luminance information IY, IC, and IM. 
     It is to be noted that when all of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed (for example, the case C 1 ) or when one of these images is to be displayed (for example, the case C 3 ), the signal generation section  43  may not generate any image and may output the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  as the image signal S 10  as they are. 
     For example, when the color information CI indicates that two of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed (for example, the case C 2 ), the control section  47  may set one subfield SF in the one-frame period and may generate the control signal SSIG owing to the above-mentioned configuration. In addition, the signal generation section  43  may generate an image of a combination color of these two images and may output the image as the image signal S 10  on the basis of the control signal SSIG. 
     Here, the signal generation section  43  corresponds to one specific example of a “luminance information generation section” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. 
       FIG. 17  illustrates one example of the operation of the display  3  in the case C 2 , in which (A) schematically illustrates one example of the image signal SIG 4  and (B) illustrates examples of the waveforms of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB. In this case, since the analysis section  15  determines that two images, i.e., the red image PR and the green image PG are to be displayed, the signal generation section  43  generates the yellow image PY. Then, luminance information that configures the yellow image PY is supplied to the liquid crystal display section  20  ((A) of  FIG. 17 ) and the high-level light emission signals CTLR and CTLG and the low-level light emission control signal CTLB are supplied to the backlight  30  ((B) of  FIG. 17 ) in the one-frame period (the subfield SF). Thus, the liquid crystal display section displays the yellow image PY and the backlight  30  emits yellow light as red and green combination light. 
     It is possible to increase the display luminance of the display  3  and it is also possible to reduce the power consumption by configuring as mentioned above, for example, not only when an image configured by one of red, green, and blue (the primary colors) is to be displayed but also when an image configured by a combination color of the primary colors is to be displayed. 
     Although in this example, the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB have been made to be maintained at the high levels or the low levels over the period of the subfield SF, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, the start timing and the finish timing (the pulse phase and the pulse width) of each pulse in each of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB may be changed, for example, as illustrated in  FIG. 18 . Thus, it is possible to change a combination ratio among the red light that the light emitting section  30 R emits, the green light that the light emitting section  30 G emits, and the blue light that the light emitting section  30 B emits, and therefore it is possible to adjust the color that the backlight  30  emits. In the above-mentioned case, this combination ratio may be changed, for example, using the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB. Thus, it is possible for the backlight  30  to emit light in a color according to the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB. In addition, one or more of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB may be configured by a plurality of pulses as illustrated in  FIG. 19 . In this case, it is possible to reduce the probability that color breakup occurs and therefore it is possible to increase the image quality as in the case of the display  2  according to the above-mentioned present modification example. It is to be noted that although the combination ratio among the red light, the green light, and the blue light has been adjusted by changing the respective pulse widths in the above-mentioned examples, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, a color of the light that the backlight  30  emits may be adjusted by changing the emission luminances of the respective light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B by changing the signal levels of the light emission control signals CTLR, CTLG, and CTLB, for example, as illustrated in  FIG. 20 . In this example, the emission luminance of the light emitting section  30 G is made lower than the emission luminance of the light emitting section  30 R by supplying a voltage VH to the light emitting section  30 R and supplying a voltage VM which is lower than the voltage VH to the light emitting section  30 G. It is to be noted that although in this example, the emission luminances of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B have been adjusted by supplying voltages, the present disclosure is not limited to this. Alternatively, the emission luminances may be adjusted, for example, by supplying currents to the light emitting sections. 
     It is to be noted that although in the display  3 , one subfield SF has been set in the one-frame period and two of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B have been made to emit light in the case C 2 , the present disclosure is not limited to this. Alternatively, for example, one subfield SF may be set in the one-frame period and all of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may be made to emit light in the case C 1 . 
     Modification Example 4 
     Although, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the analysis section  15  has determined the image(s) to be displayed out of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  and the synchronous signal Sync 2  which are the output signals from the color correction section  12 , the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, as in a display  1 A illustrated in  FIG. 21 , the analysis section  15  may perform this processing (image determination) on the basis of the image signals SR 1 , SG 1 , and SB 1  and the synchronous signal Sync 1  which are the input signals into the color correction section  12 . 
     Modification Example 5 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the display  1  includes the analysis section  15 , the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, the analysis section  15  may not be included when it is possible to supply the color signal (the color information) CI from the outside, for example, as in a display  1 B illustrated in  FIG. 22 . For example, when a circuit that is disposed at a stage preceding the display  1 B performs analysis of the image to be displayed in the display  1 B and outputs the color signal CI, application of the present modification example is possible. It is to be noted that although in this example, the image signals and the color signal CI have been made to be separately supplied, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration and they may be supplied, for example, in the form of one time-division-multiplexed signal. 
     In addition, for example, as in a display  1 C illustrated in  FIG. 23 , an operation mode setting section  49  that sets one of a plurality of operation modes including a normal display mode M 1  and a monochromatic display mode M 2  may be included so as to make the operation mode setting section  49  generate the color information CI. Specifically, for example, when a user has selected the normal display mode Ml, the operation mode setting section  49  may generate the color information CI indicating that all of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB are to be displayed and the display  1 C may operate in a manner as in the case C 1 . In addition, for example, when the user has selected the monochromatic display mode M 2 , the operation mode setting section  49  may generate the color information CI indicating, for example, that only the blue image PB is to be displayed and the display  1 C may operate in a manner as in the case C 3 . Thus, it is possible to increase the display luminance of the display  1 C and therefore it is possible to reduce the power consumption in the monochromatic display mode M 2 . 
     Modification Example 6 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the color correction section  12  has been provided at the upstream of the memory control section  13 , the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, a color correction section  12 D may be provided at the downstream of the memory control section  13 , for example, as in a display  1 D illustrated in  FIG. 24 . In this example, the color correction section  12 D performs color-related correction on the basis of the image signal SIG 3  and the synchronous signal Sync 3  output from the memory control section  13 . Then, the color correction section  12 D generates an image signal SIG 11  by performing the correction, generates a synchronous signal Sync 11  that synchronizes with the image signal SIG 11 , and supplies the generated signals to the signal correction section  14 . 
     Modification Example 7 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the signal correction section  14  has been provided at the downstream of the memory control section  13 , the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, the signal correction section  14  may be provided, for example, at the upstream of the memory control section  13 . In the following, a display  1 E according to the present modification example will be described. 
       FIG. 25  illustrates one configuration example of the display  1 E. The display  1 E includes a control section  17 E and a signal correction section  14 E. The control section  17 E has a function which is the same as that of the control section  17  according to the above-mentioned embodiment, and is configured to generate subfield information INFO indicating which one of the red image PR, the green image PG, and the blue image PB is made in one-to-one correspondence with which subfield SF and to supply the information INFO to the signal correction section  14 E. The signal correction section  14 E performs correction on the signal received on the basis of the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  and the synchronous signal Sync 2  output from the color correction section  12 . Specifically, the signal correction section  14 E performs correction based on the pieces of luminance information IR, IG, and IB in the plurality of adjacent subfields SF in the same way as the signal correction section  14 . In that case, the signal correction section  14 E performs this correction on the basis of the subfield information INFO. Then, the signal correction section  14 E generates image signals SR 12 , SG 12 , and SB 12  by performing the above-mentioned correction and a synchronous signal Sync 12  that synchronizes with the image signals SR 12 , SG 12 , and SB 12 , and supplies the generated signals to the memory control section  13  and the analysis section  15 . 
     Modification Example 8 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the RGB signal has been made to be input into the display  1 , the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration, and a signal of any other format may be input into the display. In the following, a display  1 F into which a YUV signal is input will be described. 
       FIG. 26  illustrates one configuration example of the display  1 F. The display  1 F includes an image input section  11 F and a signal conversion section  40 F. The image input section  11 F is adapted to output image signals which are in the form of the YUV signal as image signals SY, SU, and SV, and a synchronous signal Sync 0  that synchronizes with the image signals SY, SU, and SV. The signal conversion section  40 F is adapted to convert (the YUV/RGB conversion) the YUV signal into an RGB signal. Specifically, the signal conversion section  40 F performs the YUV/RGB conversion on the basis of the image signals SY, SU, and SV that configure the YUV signal and the synchronous signal Sync 0 , and generates the image signals SR 1 , SG 1 , and SB 1  that configure the RGB signal and the synchronous signal Sync  1 . Here, the signal conversion section  40 F corresponds to one specific example of a “conversion section” in one embodiment of the present disclosure. It is to be noted that although in this example, the signal conversion section  40 F has been provided at the upstream of the color correction section  12 , the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the signal conversion section  40 F may be provided at any location as long as it is provided at the upstream of the memory control section  13 . 
     Modification Example 9 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the memory control section  13  has been configured to write the pieces of one-frame luminance information IR, IG, and IB included in the image signals SR 2 , SG 2 , and SB 2  into the memory  9  and to read out only the luminance information to be displayed among them from the memory  9 , the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, when the information is to be written into the memory  9 , the memory control section  13  may be configured to write only the luminance information to be displayed into the memory  9 . 
     Modification Example 10 
     Although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the emission luminances of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B have been fixed regardless of the number of the subfields SF in the one-frame period, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, the emission luminances of the light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B may be set to be reduced, for example, as the number of the subfields SF is reduced. Thus, for example, when the number of the subfields SF is reduced while the displaying operation is being performed (for example, when the case is being changed from the case C 1  to the case C 3 ), the possibility that the viewer feels unnaturalness due to a rapid increase in display luminance is reduced. 
     &lt;2. Application Example&gt; 
     In the following, an application example of any of the displays described in the above-mentioned embodiment and modification examples will be described. 
       FIG. 27  illustrates one example of the outside appearance of a television apparatus to which the display according to any of the above-mentioned embodiment and modification examples is applied. The television apparatus may include, for example, an image display screen section  510  including a front panel  511  and a filter glass  512 , and the image display screen section  510  is configured by the display according to any of the above-mentioned embodiment and modification examples.

     For example, although in the above-mentioned embodiment and modification examples, the backlight  30  includes the three light emitting sections  30 R,  30 G, and  30 B, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, the backlight may include two or less, or four or more light emitting sections that emit light of different colors from one another, and/or may include a light emitting section or sections that emit(s) light of a color or colors other than red, green, and blue.

     In addition, although in the above-mentioned embodiment and modification examples and so forth, the present disclosure has been applied to the liquid crystal display, the present disclosure is not limited to this application. It is possible to apply the present disclosure to any display as long as it is the display of the type configured by a display device and a light emitting device other than a so-called self-emitting type display. Specifically, the present disclosure may be applied to a display, for example, using DLP (a registered trademark) (Digital Light Processing) technology.
