Abstract
A projection device according to the present disclosure includes a light emission display panel in which a plurality of pixels including a light emission element are arranged in a matrix shape, a scanning mirror configured to reflect, toward a scanned surface, imaging light emitted from the light emission display panel and performs two-dimensional scanning of the reflected imaging light on the scanned surface, and a projection optical system configured to guide the imaging light from the light emission display panel to the scanning mirror.
Claims8
A projection device comprising:
- a light emission display panel in which a plurality of pixels including a light emission element are arranged in a matrix shape;
- a scanning mirror configured to reflect, toward a scanned surface, imaging light emitted from the light emission display panel, and perform two-dimensional scanning of the reflected imaging light on the scanned surface;
- a projection optical system configured to guide the imaging light from the light emission display panel to the scanning mirror;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the light emission display panel and the scanning mirror, wherein
- the control unit controls rotational motion of the scanning mirror so that a scanning point moves along a predetermined scanning route on the scanned surface, and controls the light emission display panel so that the imaging light is emitted when the scanning point reaches each of a plurality of image display points set on the scanning route, and
- the control unit controls rotational motion of the scanning mirror so that the scanning point moves at a constant velocity between two adjacent image display points of the plurality of image display points and stops at a reached image display point of the plurality of image display points for a predetermined time period, and controls the light emission display panel so that the imaging light is emitted within the predetermined time period when the scanning point stops at the reached image display point.
