  • Patent number: 10491868
    Abstract: A projection video display apparatus includes an input unit to input a video signal; a display to display the inputted video signal; a plurality of light sources to generate light; an illumination optical system to guide the generated light to the display; a projection optical system to project light via the display; and a controller to control the light sources, a lighting ratio and a current value per time for each light source. The controller has a black display control mode, for each light source, which makes a relative rate of a lighting ratio for a light source with a specific color smaller than the other light sources, and reduces the current value of the other light sources to be less than a current value of the light source with the specific color when compared with a case where the input video signal is a white signal.

  • Publication number: 20190268577
    Abstract: A projection-type video image display apparatus measures quantity of light of a plurality of light sources by maintaining illuminance distribution of an illumination luminous flux. The apparatus includes R, B and G light sources, and a mirror configured to reflect white light obtained by synthesizing the light rays emitted from the respective light sources while making the white light pass through the mirror based on predetermined transmittance characteristics. An illuminance sensor disposed on the mirror's back surface and configured to measure quantity of light for each color of the white light which passed through the mirror, and a controller adjusts an amount of light emission of the light source of each color based on the quantity of light measured. The mirror allows the transmittance characteristics of each light transmittance in the center wavelengths of the R and B lights sources to be larger than those of the G light source.
