1. A projection apparatus, comprising:
- a light source;
a light source control unit for controlling output of the light source;
at least one spatial light modulator for modulating illumination light from the light source by multiple pixel elements; and
an optical system for projecting, onto a screen, the illumination light deflected by the spatial light modulator, wherein the light source control unit modulates the output of the illumination light from the light source during a modulation period of the spatial light modulator, and non-linearly controls gray scale of an image projected onto the screen.
