Abstract
An image display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an optical modulator, an optical device, and a sensor unit. The optical device splits a modulated light beam modulated by the optical modulator into a first split light beam and a second split light beam, the first split light beam and the second split light beam each travelling in a different direction, and prevents a light beam, which backwardly travels on an optical path of the first split light beam and enters the optical device, from travelling along an optical path of the second split light beam. The sensor unit is disposed on the optical path of the second split light beam and detects a state of the second split light beam.
Claims20
An image display apparatus, comprising:
- a first optical device configured to extract a light beam corresponding to a first color, the first color being one of red, green, and blue,
- a second optical device configured to split the light beam into a first split light beam and a second split light beam, the first split light beam and the second split light beam each travelling in a different direction, and
- a sensor disposed on an optical path of the second split light beam and comprising a first filter and a second filter, the sensor being configured to detect a state of the second split light beam, wherein
- the first filter is configured to transmit a light beam in a first wavelength range corresponding to the first color,
- the second filter is configured to transmit a light beam in a second wavelength range, the second wavelength range being broader than the first wavelength range, and
- the sensor is configured to detect a state of each of a light beam passing through the first filter and a light beam passing through the second filter,
- wherein the sensor includes a plurality of the first filters and a plurality of the second filters, and each of the plurality of the second filters is arranged to not be next to another one of the second filters.
