Apparatus and methods for treating obesity using chronic cervical vagal nerve stimulation (cVNS) of the left vagus trunk are disclosed. Four men and ten women, average age 46 years (SD±10) were treated with output current typically 0.75 mA, pulse frequency 30 Hz and width 250 or 500 μs, and duty cycle of 30 s power per five minutes. Mean intake weight was 91 kg (SD±27, range 46 to 137 kg) with body mass index (BMI) 43 kg / m2 (SD±5, range 18 to 49 kg / mn2). After 6-12 months, obese patients had marked weight loss while normal weights were maintained. Decrease in BMI was consistently proportional to initial BMI. Average weight loss at one year was 7 kg (SD±3, range −6 to +24) with mean drop in BMI of 2 kg / m2 (SD±3, range −2 to +8)k. All patients denied any major dieting or exercise.

An area active drive processing unit (15) obtains liquid crystal data (32) used for driving a liquid crystal panel (11) and LED data (33) used for driving backlight (13) from an input image (31). In order to obtain the LED data (33), the input image (31) is divided into areas, a maximum value Ma and a mean value Me of luminances of pixels in each area are obtained, and a weighted mean of the maximum value Ma and the mean value Me is obtained, thereby obtaining the luminance of an LED (23)-(25) corresponding to each area. A coefficient a used for obtaining the weighted mean changes depending on the mean value Me. As the mean value Me increases, the LED luminance increases from the mean value Me at an accelerated rate and approaches the maximum value Ma. As a result, flicker and lowering of luminance in an image display device controlling backlight are prevented.
