A method for implementing a synchronous rising, falling, or translation of a projection image along with the movement of a rollable screen is provided. After a system is powered on and started, a projection screen first reports a current position of a screen to a project host via a communication link. The projection host performs a preprocessing on a projection image according to the current screen position n0 obtained from the projection screen and an image is projected onto the projection screen. The projection host informs the projection screen via the communication link and confirms that the current projection image is aligned according to the current position of the projection screen. After the projection screen obtains confirmation information from the projection host, the projection screen is driven to reach the next position, and the projection host obtains the next specific position of the projection screen via the communication link.

A controller of a projector accepts operation of changing the position of a vertex of a first pattern image projected on a projection surface, deforms the shape of a second pattern image containing a plurality of dots based on the operation, causes the second pattern image to be projected onto the projection surface, generates second correction data for correction of the second image based on a captured image as a result of capture of an image of the projection surface on which the second pattern image has been projected in such a way that the positions of the plurality of dots are corrected, and causes an image corrected by using the generated correction data to be projected onto the projection surface.

A novel high efficiency image projection system includes a beam-steering modulator, an amplitude modulator, and a controller. In a particular embodiment the controller generates beam-steering drive values from image data and uses the beam-steering drive values to drive the beam-steering modulator. Additionally, the controller utilizes the beam-steering drive values to generate a lightfield simulation of a lightfield projected onto the amplitude modulator by the beam-steering modulator. The controller utilizes the lightfield simulation to generate amplitude drive values for driving the amplitude modulator in order to project a high quality version of the image described by the image data.

A projector includes a DMD that forms an image, a projection lens that projects the image formed by the DMD on a projected surface, and a display control unit that controls an image forming operation of the DMD. The display control unit forms a frame image by sequentially forming a plurality of images using a combined pixel which is configured of a plurality of pixels, and with respect to temporally continuous two images, the display control unit forms one image at a position that is shifted by a distance that corresponds to the pixel pitch of the DMD in a predetermined direction relative to the other image.

A projector projects a dot pattern onto a projection surface, the dot pattern containing a first dot, a second dot, a third dot, a fourth dot, and black dots. The first dot, the second dot, the third dot, the fourth dot, and the black dots are displayed in different modes. The first dot is adjacent to the second dot in the horizontal direction and also adjacent to the third dot in the vertical direction. The second dot is adjacent to the fourth dot in the vertical direction, and the third dot is adjacent to the fourth dot in the horizontal direction.
