Abstract: A video display apparatus includes a display section that carries out a display process based on a drive signal and a drive section that outputs to the display section a first drive signal based on a video signal having undergone video processing in a first video processing section at a fixed cycle and a second drive signal based on a video signal having undergone video processing in a second video processing section at the same cycle as the cycle at which the first drive signal is outputted but at timing shifted from the first drive signal by one-half the cycle. When the video signals contain two-dimensional video images, the first video processing section produces a video signal for two-dimensional video images and the second video processing section produces a video signal for black screen insertion.

Abstract: The projector comprises an image forming panel that forms an effective panel image for modulating the light into an image light in an image forming area of a panel surface, and an image capturing unit for capturing a specific projection area wherein the image light corresponding to a specific area in the image forming area is projected. The projector calculates one or more edges of the outside perimeter lines of the screen and of the specific projection area by detecting plural points in a captured image. Based on the detection results, a post-correction image forming area is calculated, and trapezoidal distortion is corrected by forming the effective panel image within the post-correction image forming area. When only three or less of the four edges of the outside perimeter lines of the screen are detected, the projector calculates the post-correction image forming area based on the position and slope of the detected edge within the captured image.
