20080252860 | Projector and image correction method - A projector displays an image on a projection surface. The projector has a zoom adjusting module and a keystone correcting module. The zoom adjusting module adjusts zoom level of a zoom lens for enlarged projection of image light. The keystone correcting module corrects trapezoidal distortion of the image displayed on the projection surface by means of forming the effective panel image in a revised image formation area, the revised image formation area being part of the image formation area of the panel surface. | 10-16-2008 |
20090015800 | PROJECTOR AND BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTING METHOD - A projector includes: a projector body, which has a light modulating device that modulates light emitted from a light source according to input image information to thereby form an optical image and a projection optical device that projects the formed optical image in an enlarged manner; an image output device that outputs the image information to the projector body; a connection mechanism for connecting the projector body and the image output device with each other such that the projector body and the image output device can rotate relative to each other; a rotation operation detecting unit that detects a relative rotation operation of the projector body and the image output device; and a control unit that controls the projector body and the rotation operation detecting unit. The control unit includes: a rotation operation recognition portion that recognizes whether or not the projector body and the image output device are in a relative rotation operation state on the basis of a detection result of the rotation operation detecting unit; and a brightness adjusting portion that adjusts the brightness of light emitted from the projection optical device when the rotation operation recognition portion has recognized that the projector body and the image output device are in the relative rotation operation state. | 01-15-2009 |

20110169806 | PROJECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD - A projector includes: an interface section that has a plurality of connection terminals receiving image information from source devices, a projecting section that projects an image, a storage control section that stores identification information that denotes the source device, an instruction information input section accepting instruction information, a power-supply, a power-supply control section that controles the power-supply, a determination section, and a control information generation section that generates control information, wherein, in a case where the determination section determines that the instruction information is information of designating switching on the power-supply, the power-supply control section switches on the power-supply, the control information generation section generates switching on control information designating switching on the source device that is denoted with the identification information, and the interface section outputs the switching on control information to the source device that is denoted with the identification information. | 07-14-2011 |
20120147337 | PROJECTOR AND IMAGE CORRECTION METHOD - A projector displays an image on a projection surface. The projector has a zoom adjusting module and a keystone correcting module. The zoom adjusting module adjusts zoom level of a zoom lens for enlarged projection of image light. The keystone correcting module corrects trapezoidal distortion of the image displayed on the projection surface by means of forming the effective panel image in a revised image formation area, the revised image formation area being part of the image formation area of the panel surface. | 06-14-2012 |
20130229501 | VIDEO DISPLAY APPARATUS AND VIDEO DISPLAY METHOD - 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. | 09-05-2013 |
20130242063 | VIDEO DISPLAY APPARATUS AND VIDEO DISPLAY METHOD - A video display apparatus can adjust the parallax level of stereoscopic video images in accordance with the video image size and allows a user to make further parallax adjustment. The video display apparatus acquires the video image size of the stereoscopic video images, sets a default value of a depth adjustment value for adjusting the parallax level of the stereoscopic video images based on the acquired video image size, changes the depth adjustment value when the user has provided an input representing a change in the depth adjustment value, sets a parallax adjustment level of the stereoscopic video images based on the changed depth adjustment value, and adjusts the parallax level of the stereoscopic video images based on the parallax adjustment level. | 09-19-2013 |
20150334337 | PROJECTOR - A projector includes an OSD image generation section that generates an OSD image, an OSD processor that generates a combined image in which the OSD image is superimposed on an input image, a light source section that outputs a light flux, a light modulator that modulates the light flux in accordance with the combined image to produce image light, a projection system that projects the image light, and a placement detector that detects whether an additional lens that changes the ratio between values in intersecting two direction in the image light has been inserted into the optical path of the projection system, and when the placement detector detects that the additional lens has been inserted, the OSD image generation section generates the OSD image in accordance with the inserted additional lens. | 11-19-2015 |
