Abstract: A system displays an image using a plurality of projection type display devices, and is capable of reliably notifying a user who uses the system that an error has occurred in a certain projection type display device. A slave includes a display unit that projects and displays an image and a signal receiving unit that receives data transmitted from a commander. The slave includes a detection unit that detects an error in the commander on the basis of the receiving conditions of the data in the signal receiving unit. The slave includes a display control unit that, when an error is detected by the detection unit, makes the display unit display an image showing that the error has been detected.

Abstract: A projection system performs projection on a projection surface using a plurality of projectors including a first projector and a second projector. The projection system projects, using the first projector, a first guide in a position a predetermined amount of a margin spaced apart from a border of a projection region where an image is projected and projects, using the second projector, a second guide distinguishable from the first guide.

Abstract: In the case where a projector is used in combination with another projector, individual use of only one projector is enabled. A slave projector operates together with a master projector. In this case, the operation methods to start up the projector are a first method in which only a first key is pressed, a second method in which the first key and a second key are pressed simultaneously, and a third method in which the first key and a third key are pressed simultaneously. When the slave projector detects a user's operation with a remote controller, if the operation is done by the first method or the second method, the slave projector ignores this operation. Meanwhile, if the operation is done by the second method, the slave projector starts up the own device irrespective of the command from the master.

Abstract: A projector that performs projection in cooperation with another projector, the projector including a determining unit configured to determine an operation state of the other projector and a control unit configured to control the projector to shift to, when the determining unit determines that the operation state of the other projector is not a normal operation state, a limited operation mode for limiting execution of at least a part of functions.

Abstract: A projector that modulates light emitted from a light source and projects the modulated image light on a projection surface, the projector including: an object detection unit for determining the position of an object that blocks projection of the image light; a distance detection unit for determining the distance to the object; and a projection control unit for determining an avoidance area where the object prevents the image light from reaching the projection surface based on the position of the object determined by the object detection unit and the distance to the object determined by the distance detection unit and projecting the image light in an area other than the avoidance area.

Abstract: A display system displays images projected by a plurality of projection type display devices so as to overlap each other. When a user uses this system, events occurring in these devices can be reliably delivered to the user. A commander and a slave project and display images so as to overlap each other. When a notification-required event occurs in the commander or the slave, the commander specifies this notification-required event. Then, the commander displays a first OSD image between the first OSD image and a second OSD image, which form an image corresponding to the specified notification-required event, in a predetermined region of a first screen of screens on which images are displayed. Also, the commander outputs to the slave a control signal to display the second OSD image in the predetermined region. The slave displays the second OSD image in the predetermined region when the control signal is received.

Abstract: A projector includes a projecting unit that projects a calibration image containing a plurality of types of pattern images having different shapes, a storing unit that stores correction data showing a correction value for each of the pattern images, a selecting unit that receives selection of a pattern image selected by a user from the pattern images, and a correcting unit that corrects distortion of an image projected by the projecting unit based on the correction value corresponding to the selection.
