  • Patent number: 8840252
    Abstract: An image display apparatus improves usability for a user in the case where a screen image is projected on a ceiling as a screen. The image display apparatus includes: a projection unit capable of vertically changing a projection angle; a projection angle detector detecting the projection angle of the projection unit; and a screen image corrector reversing a projected screen image. The screen image corrector switches the projected screen image from a reversed display to a standard display when the projection angle detected by the projection angle detector is less than or equal to a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 8558956
    Abstract: An image display system comprises red, green and blue laser light sources, a spatial light modulator that modulates the laser light of different colors in a time sharing manner and a controller that controls the operation of the laser light sources and the spatial light modulator. The green and red laser light sources are lit in this order in each frame. The green color is diminished due to the response delay of the spatial light modulator, but the green laser light produced by the green laser light source has a relatively large color phase shift from the standard green color so that the shortage of green color cancels the color phase shift of the generated green color so that the color phase shift of the displayed intermediate color can be minimized.

  • Publication number: 20120176556
    Abstract: An image display system comprises red, green and blue laser light source units (22 to 24), a spatial light modulator (25) that modulates the laser lights of different colors in a time sharing manner and a control unit (13) for controlling the operation of the laser light source units and the spatial light modulator. The green and red laser light source units are lighted in that order in each frame. The green color is diminished owing to the response delay of the spatial light modulator, but the green laser light produced by the green laser light source unit (23) has a relatively large color phase shift from the standard green color so that the shortage of green color cancels out with the color phase shift of the generated green color so that the color phase shift of the displayed intermediate color can be minimized.
