  • Projector and method of controlling projector
    Patent number: 10491871
    Abstract: A projector includes an input unit configured to receive an image signal, a display configured to display an image based on the image signal received by the input unit, an image displacement unit configured to change a position of the image to be displayed by the display, and a control unit configured to control a driving signal to drive the image displacement unit. An output timing of the driving signal is changed based on a frequency of the image signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Projector and method of controlling projector
    Patent number: 10122979
    Abstract: A projector includes: an I/F unit to which an image signal is input; a display unit that displays an image based on the image signal input to the I/F unit; a shift device that changes a position of an image to be displayed by the display unit; a signal processing unit that outputs a driving signal to the shift device and drives the shift device; and a shift control unit that controls the driving signal output by the signal processing unit. The shift control unit changes an output timing of the driving signal to correspond to a change in a frequency of the image signal.
