Abstract
A projection display apparatus with a light source, a light valve and an optical system for projecting an image formed in an image-forming plane of the light valve onto a screen is disclosed. The projection display apparatus includes a first processor for calculating an area of an image projected onto the screen, a photometer for measuring illuminance in the neighborhood of the image projected onto the screen, a second processor for calculating a black-level correction value from the area of the image calculated by the first processor and the illuminance measured by the photometer, and a light-source-power controller for controlling power supplied to the light source on the basis of the black-level correction value calculated by the second processor.
Claims8
A projection display apparatus in which a light emitted from a light source enters a light valve, an image corresponding to an input video signal is formed in an image-forming plane of the light valve, and the formed image is projected onto a screen through an optical system, the projection display apparatus comprising:
- a first processor for calculating an area of an image projected onto the screen;
- a photometer for measuring illuminance in the neighborhood of the image projected onto the screen;
- a second processor for calculating a black-level correction value from the area of the image calculated by the first processor and the illuminance measured by the photometer;
- and
- a light-source-power controller for controlling power supplied to the light source on the basis of the black-level correction value calculated by the second processor.
A projection display apparatus in which a light emitted from a light source enters a light valve, an image corresponding to an input video signal is formed in an image-forming plane of the light valve, and the formed image is projected onto a screen through an optical system, the projection display apparatus comprising:
- a light-source-power controller for controlling power supplied to the light source on the basis of a black-level correction value supplied from outside;
- a signal generator for generating a testing video signal used for projecting a test image including a plurality of regions disposed in order of brightness;
- and
- an adjuster allowing adjustment to the black-level correction value supplied to the light source with the test image being projected onto the screen.
