The anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole plays an important role in the
holographic principle. In this study, the upper bound in energy corresponding
to the mass of the Schwarzschild black hole is modified to be that of the AdS
black hole. Via the correspondence between the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared
(IR) cutoffs, the constant term in the energy density of the holographic dark
energy (HDE) can be obtained from the negative cosmological constant from the
black hole. Interestingly, the proposed dark energy model could drive the
late-time expansion of the Universe without the causality violation. The cosmic
evolution is investigated by choosing the Hubble and particle horizons as the
IR length scales. It is found that the accelerated expansion at late time can
be obtained for both cases. This result may shed light on the connection
between the AdS black hole and the de Sitter (dS) spacetime in the context of
cosmology.
