A display device is provided with an input unit for inputting a detection signal from a detection unit capable of detecting the brightness of ambient light around a dimming member. The display device is also provided with a control unit which, on the basis of the detection signal input by the input unit, controls at least one of the optical transmittance of the dimming member and the operation of a projector to adjust an image projected onto the dimming member to a display state corresponding to the brightness of the ambient light.

A method for controlling a projector including a light source, the method including identifying the state of the light source, generating a correction parameter based on the state of the light source, and correcting an image projected from the projector based on the correction parameter.

An excitation light intensity control system, including a lighting part, an imaging part and a control part. The lighting part includes a light source; the imaging part includes a light modulator and a color conversion element; the excitation light emitted from the light source is imported to the light modulator for modulation; the modulated excitation light excites the color conversion element to produce multicolor excited light; the lighting part further includes a light recycling system used for recoupling part of the excitation light emitted from the light modulator to be incident to the light modulator; the control part includes a controller used for receiving original image data and controlling the intensity of the excitation light emitted from the light modulator and/or the light source.

A projection display system comprises a light source configured to emit a light in response to a content data; an optical modulator configured to modulate the light; and a controller configured to adjust a light level of the projection display system based on the content data and a metadata relating to a future frame, thereby to reduce a perceptibility of a visual artifact.

A method of aligning a plurality of color channels of a projector is provided. The method includes: for each color channel, (i) projecting test pattern on a surface; (ii) capturing image of the test pattern generated on the surface; and (iii) adding the captured image to an image set. Once the captured images for each color channel are added to an image set, identifying a reference position based on the image set. This is followed by processing the image set to estimate a divergence of the respective test patterns for each color channel with respect to the reference position, followed by computing a corrective function for each color channel and applying the respective corrective function to each color channel to align the color channel to the reference position.

A scanning laser projection system includes a virtual protective housing circuit to automatically reduce accessible emissions of visible laser light by decimating areas of a projected image to reduce optical power exposure levels for safety, comfort, aesthetic, or system classification purposes. IR laser light pulses are scanned in a field of view, and a percentage of visible laser light pulses are blanked based on attributes of reflections of the IR laser light pulses.

The disclosure provides a projection system and a gamma curve correction method. The projection system includes a projection target and a projection device. A test image is projected on the projection target. The projection device obtains a first gamma curve of the test image by receiving the test image projected on the projection target or sensing a light beam of the projected test image, and judges whether multiple difference values between the first gamma curve and a preset gamma curve is larger than a preset value. The first gamma curve is corrected to generate a second gamma curve when at least one of the difference values is larger than the preset value. The projection system and the gamma curve correction method of the disclosure provides an ideal gamma curve according to the output performance of the use situation.

An image processing apparatus includes at least one processor and a memory containing instructions that are configured to cause the at least one processor to perform operations including a correction task configured to correct an image signal that has been input to the first projection-type display apparatus. The first projection image includes a first area which part of the second projection image overlaps, a second area that is adjacent to the first area and affected by the light amount control unit, and a third area different from the first area and the second area. The correction task corrects one of a luminance and a color of the image signal corresponding to the second area so as to reduce a difference from a corresponding one of a luminance and a color of the image signal corresponding to at least one of the first and third areas.
