Illumination apparatus and projector
First Claim
1. A method for reducing color unevenness in an image projected by a projector, said method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining information of the color unevenness on a screen at each rotational position of a lamp when rotating the lamp about its optical axis as a rotational axis, wherein said optical axis passes through said lamp; and
seeking the rotational position at which the color unevenness is most reduced, based on the information of the color unevenness.

Abstract
An illumination apparatus includes a lamp, and a holding member for rotatably holding the lamp about its optical axis as a rotational axis. An projector includes the illumination apparatus, a first optical system for separating white light from the illumination apparatus into light of red, green and blue, a first panel for modulating the light of red per each pixel, a second panel for modulating the light of green per each pixel, a third panel for modulating the light of blue per each pixel, a projection lens, and a second optical system for superimposing the modulated light of red, green and blue on a display surface, such as a screen, in cooperation with the projection lens.

13. A method for reducing color unevenness in an image projected by a projector, said method comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining information of the color unevenness on a plane on which said image is projected, at each rotational position of a lamp when rotating the lamp about its optical axis as a rotational axis, wherein said optical axis passes through said lamp; and seeking the rotational position at which the color unevenness is most reduced, based on the information of the color unevenness.
