Multi-projection image display device
First Claim
1. A multi-projection image display device for forming more than one display on a screen, comprising:
- image projectors for projecting images on said screen; and
data converters for performing at least geometric transformation and color display characteristic transformation according to the characteristics of said projectors and said screen.

Abstract
A multi-projection image display device using a plurality of image projectors to form one picture on a screen, in which images projected from the projectors are smoothly connected with one another, so that seams of the images do not appear conspicuously. The image display device has projectors and a screen laid out in such a manner that maximum image projection ranges of the respective projectors overlap the adjacent ranges. An image signal control unit for processing an image signal supplied from an external image input has, therein, a member for cutting out a partial image area dealt with by each projector, an image converting member for performing geometric transformation and local color correction of the partial image, and an arithmetic control member for controlling the image converting member on the basis of image information inputted from a screen state monitor camera. With this structure, smoothing of the seams between the images may be realized simply by image signal processing, and precise adjustment of the optical system of the projectors becomes unnecessary.
