  • Patent number: 11637997
    Abstract: A projection apparatus executes a first processing and a second processing on image signal received from an external device, projects an image based on the image signal processed by an image processor, and switches an operation mode of the projection apparatus to a first mode, which is a low-latency mode for suppressing a delay in displaying an image, and a second mode, which is not the low-latency mode. The image processor maintains the first processing and stops the second processing in response that the operation mode of the projection apparatus is switched to the first mode from a state in which the operation mode is the second mode and the first processing and the second processing are executed.

  • Patent number: 11438562
    Abstract: A display apparatus receives an image signal, executes a muting process on the image signal depending on a fluctuation in a framerate of the image signal, acquires information attached to the image signal, and determines whether or not the framerate of the image signal is fluctuating based on the information, and execute the muting process, or not execute the muting process, depending on the determination result. The display apparatus does not execute the muting process when the framerate of the image signal is determined to be fluctuating.
