LAMP ON/OFF OPERATION CONTROL METHOD, CLOCK GENERATION METHOD, CLOCK GENERATION CIRCUIT, LIGHT SOURCE CONTROL CIRCUIT, AND DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A PLL (6) as a clock generation circuit that generates a PWM clock based on a reference clock, which PWM clock is used for controlling, in a pulse width modulation method, a lamp on time and a lamp off time of a light source (30) illuminating a liquid crystal panel (4) by synchronizing with a video signal that performs display in a set period on the liquid crystal panel (4), includes a configuration that generates a PWM clock that can maintain a fixed ratio of the lamp on time to the lamp off time within one period even if the set period is changed, by changing a pulse interval of the reference clock in conjunction with the change in the set period.
