Abstract: An image projection apparatus is disclosed which is capable of correcting defocusing due to changes of the temperature of a projection lens, which are caused by various factors. The image projection apparatus includes an image-forming element which is illuminated with light from a light source, a projection lens which includes a focus lens and projects light from the image-forming element onto a projection surface, plural temperature detectors which are provided at positions different from each other in the image projection apparatus. The apparatus further includes a controller which controls the position of the focus lens on the basis of the detection results by the plural temperature detectors.

Abstract: A projection display apparatus is provided with a control unit that drives a focus lens included in a projection lens based on outputs from a focus sensor and a temperature sensor. The control unit provided in the projection display apparatus compensates the output value of the temperature sensor according to the amount of change in the output value of the temperature sensor with time and drives the focus lens using the value thus compensated.
