Projection display system with varying light source
First Claim
1. A projection apparatus, comprising:
- a light source for emitting illumination light;
at least one spatial light modulator with a plurality of movable mirrors corresponding to pixels to be displayed, for performing a modulation of the illumination light through operation of the movable mirrors;
a light source control unit performing a modulation control of the light source; and
a spatial light modulator control unit generating, from an input image signal, a control signal for driving the spatial light modulator, wherein;
the light source control unit adjusts a pulse emission frequency of an emission pulse of the illumination light emitted from the light source while corresponding to an oscillation frequency of the movable mirrors.
