Display system, image display device, and method of controlling display system

A display system having a projection device and a projection target member, and adapted to project an image from the projection device toward the projection target member to thereby display the image, the display system comprising:

• a proximity detection section adapted to detect a proximity of another display system, which has a projection device and a projection target member, and is adapted to project its image from the projection device toward its projection target member to thereby display its image;
• a selection section adapted to select one of
• an enlarged display mode of determining a projection image, enlarging the determined projection image, and displaying the enlarged projection image so as to straddle the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system, and
• a copy display mode of displaying the image displayed on either one of the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system on the other of the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system in a case in which the proximity detection section detects the proximity of the other display system;
• and
• a control section adapted to control displaying in accordance with mode selected by the selection section.

A method of controlling a display system having a projection device and a projection target member, and adapted to project an image from the projection device toward the projection target member to thereby display the image, the method comprising:

• detecting a proximity of another display system, which has a projection device and a projection target member, and is adapted to project its image from the projection device toward its projection target member to thereby display its image;
• determining a projection image, enlarging the determined projection image, and displaying the enlarged projection image so as to straddle the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system in a case in which the proximity of the other display system is detected in the detecting of proximity;
• and
• making the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system start division display of the projection image in a case in which the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system have contact with each other, and making the division display be terminated in a case in which the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system once having contact with each other are separated from each other.

• a proximity detection section adapted to detect a proximity of another display system, which has a projection device and a projection target member, and is adapted to project its image from the projection device toward its projection target member to thereby display its image;
• a position detection section adapted to detect a positional relationship with the other display system in a proximity state;
• a control section adapted to:
• determine a projection image;
• enlarge the determined projection image;
• display the enlarged projection image so as to straddle the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system in a case in which the proximity detection section detects the proximity of the other display system;
• and
• generate a plurality of divided images used to project the projection image toward the projection target member and the projection target member of the other display system in a divided manner based on the positional relationship detected by the position detection section;
• and
• a communication section adapted to transmit a divided image generated by the control section to the other display system via wireless communication,
• wherein the control section executes one of
• a process in a master mode of generating the divided images from the projection image, making the projection device project one of the divided images generated, and transmitting another of the divided images from the communication section to the other display system, and
• a process in a slave mode of receiving a divided image transmitted from the other display system, and making the projection device project the divided image received.
