  • Patent number: 11131917
    Abstract: An image display apparatus according to an aspect of the present technology includes a light source, an image generator, and a projection optical system. The image generator modulates light emitted from the light source and generates image light. The projection optical system includes a lens system and a concave reflective surface. The lens system is configured on a basis of a reference axis at a position on which the generated image light is incident, and has a positive refracting power as a whole. The concave reflective surface is configured on a basis of the reference axis, and reflects the image light emitted from the lens system toward a projection target. In addition, the concave reflective surface reflects at least one or more light beams included in the image light incident on the concave reflective surface, toward a direction that intersects with a direction along the reference axis at an angle of 80 degrees or more.

  • Publication number: 20210065659
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, a program, and a projection system that can prevent a sense of realism and immersion from being impaired even in a case where a planar image generated on the assumption that the planar image is to be displayed on a flat surface is displayed on a curved display surface. An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology causes a planar image and an effect image to be displayed on a curved display surface such that an image representing a predetermined space is displayed as the effect image around the planar image, the planar image having been generated on the assumption that the planar image is to be displayed on a flat surface. The present technology can be applied to a computer that causes a plurality of projectors to project a video.
