Abstract
A method for compensating light reflection of a projection frame and a projection apparatus is provided. In the method, a preset frame is projected by the projection apparatus. Next, a spectrum of a light reflected by the projected preset frame is detected and compared with an original spectrum of the preset frame. A light characteristic value of the projected preset frame is then adjusted accordingly, so as to compensate a difference between the detected spectrum of the reflected light and the original spectrum.
