  • Patent number: 11496719
    Abstract: A projector of the present invention includes a light source unit including a semiconductor light emitting element and a color wheel and emitting lights in first and second wavelength ranges in time division, a display device receiving light source light to form image light, a projection optical system for projecting the image light onto a projection target, a delay time setting module for shifting a start timing of a color mixing period when the lights in the first and second wavelength ranges are emitted in a mixed fashion in a spoke period of the color wheel during which emissions of the lights in the first and second wavelength ranges are switched over based on an index indicating a brightness of light from the light source unit, and a light source driving module for driving the light source unit based on a setting set by the delay time setting module.

  • Patent number: 11112687
    Abstract: A projector is provided which includes a first light source device configured to emit light in a first wavelength range, a first wheel having formed thereon a plurality of light source segments configured to emit lights in different wavelength ranges upon receiving light in the first wavelength range, a second wheel having formed thereon a plurality of areas configured to dim light emitted from the first wheel, a display device onto which light emitted from the second wheel is shined to thereby form image light, and a processor configured to control the first light source device, the first wheel and the second wheel in a synchronized fashion, wherein the processor performs a masking process on the image light when either or both of a rotation frequency difference and a phase shift between the first and the second wheels are predetermined thresholds or greater.
