1. An electronic device comprising:
a memory configured to store an image that is input;
a backlight unit;
a driving part configured to output a driving current to the backlight unit; and
a processor configured to:
identify a first intensity of a driving current corresponding to one time section among a plurality of time sections of a backlight dimming section based on a grayscale value of the image input,
obtain a first control value that allows control of an intensity of the driving current based on the identified first intensity, and
provide a second control value, which is greater than the first control value to the driving part, that allows the driving part to output a driving current of a second intensity greater than the first intensity, and provide the first control value to the driving part that allows the driving part to output the driving current of the first intensity during the one time section among the plurality of time sections of the backlight dimming section.
