La présente invention prolonge la durée de vie de la batterie d'un dispositif d'affichage dans lequel une commande de gradation locale est possible de manière plus efficace que dans l'état de la technique. Un dispositif d'affichage (1) selon la présente invention comprend une BL (82), une batterie (60), un dispositif de commande (10) et un panneau d'affichage (81). Le dispositif d'affichage (1) peut être amené à fonctionner dans (i) un premier mode de gradation locale ou (ii) dans un second mode de gradation locale dans lequel la consommation d'énergie est différente de celle du premier mode de gradation locale. Une unité d'acquisition d'informations (110) du dispositif de commande (10) acquiert des premières informations qui sont (i) des informations concernant la batterie (60) et/ou (ii) des informations concernant la consommation d'énergie du dispositif d'affichage (1). Une unité de sélection de mode (120) du dispositif de commande (10) sélectionne le premier mode de gradation locale ou le second mode de gradation locale sur la base des premières informations.
