A display apparatus according to the present disclosure comprises an
image display unit, a backlight unit, and at least one processor. The backlight unit comprises: a substrate; and a plurality of dimming blocks arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns on the substrate, wherein each of the dimming blocks includes a red LED, a
green LED, and a blue LED. In a
color vision deficiency mode, the at least one processor may: acquire, on the basis of image data,
color difference values between a plurality of image blocks of an image corresponding to the plurality of dimming blocks; determine, on the basis of the
color difference values between the plurality of image blocks, at least one of a current weight for a red LED of one dimming block among the plurality of dimming blocks, a current weight for a
green LED of the dimming block, and a current weight for a blue LED of the dimming block; and control, on the basis of the image data and the determined current weight, current supplied to at least one of the red LED of the dimming block, the
green LED of the dimming block, and the blue LED of the dimming block.
