Abstract:
An optical modulator element modulates incident light from a light source with an input signal. A projection lens magnifies and projects the outgoing light from the optical modulator element. A pixel shift element is disposed between the optical modulator element and the projection lens, and displaces an optical path of the outgoing light from the optical modulator element for shifting a display position of a pixel to be displayed on a screen in a given cycle between a first position and a second position away from the first position by a predetermined distance. A controller controls the pixel shift element such that the pixel shifts between the first position and the second position in either one of a first mode at a shift speed or a second mode at another second shift speed.
Abstract:
The projection-type image display device includes a light source unit, a color generation unit provided on the optical path of emitted light from the light source unit and configured to generate multiple colors of light from emitted light from the light source in a time-division manner by rotating at a predetermined rotation cycle, a light modulation unit, and a control unit. In accordance with a color component of the input image signal, the control unit sets current values for current to be applied to the light source unit and a polarity inversion timing for inverting the polarity of the light source unit. The control unit applies current having the current values to the light source unit while inverting the polarity according to the polarity inversion timing. The control unit shifts the polarity inversion timing according to change in the current values for current to be applied to the light source unit.
