A control method applied in a display device is provided. The display device includes an image generator and a screen. The image generator is directed to output an output image.

Some embodiments provide for a modular video projector system having a light engine module and an optical engine module. The light engine module can provide narrow-band laser light to the optical engine module which modulates the laser light according to video signals received from a video processing engine. Some embodiments provide for an optical engine module having a sub-pixel generator configured to display video or images at a resolution of at least four times greater than a resolution of modulating elements within the optical engine module. Systems and methods for reducing speckle are presented in conjunction with the modular video projector system.

In an optical module and a scanning-type image display device, a reduction in heat insulating effect due to a natural convection generated between the optical module and a case is suppressed to alleviate laser overheating and thermal expansion or contraction of each component and obtain a stable projection image quality. In an optical module that couples laser beams from a plurality of laser beam sources 1a, 1b, 1c and irradiates the laser beams to a desired position, a cover that covers the optical module is provided, a second cover is provided in a space between the optical module and the cover, and a projecting part is provided on a surface of the second cover facing the optical module.

A projector includes a power receiving terminal, a light source that emits light based on electric power supplied to the power receiving terminal, a light diffuser that adjusts the degree of diffusion of the light from the light source, a specifying section that alternately specifies one of illumination projection and image projection every time electric power supply to the power receiving terminal is started, and a light diffusion controller that controls the light diffuser so that when the specifying section specifies the illumination projection, the light diffuser diffuses the light from the light source, whereas when the specifying section specifies the image projection, the light diffuser transmits the light without substantially diffusing the light.

A field-sequential color image display device is provided which can sufficiently reduce power consumption while suppressing color breakup. In a liquid crystal display device that displays a color image under a field sequential system in which each frame period includes four field periods corresponding to three primary colors, namely red, green, and blue, and a white color, the emission intensity of a light source section (120) during the white field period is determined in advance so that the white color is displayed at a target maximum luminance when the transmittance of a pixel array section (110) is at its maximum during all of the four field periods. A drive control section (200) separates an input image signal into white, blue, green, and red components, expands the white component, and then assigns the components to the four field periods. This causes the pixel array section (110) to, during the respective field periods, display images of the corresponding colors based on the signal components thus assigned, giving a color image by an additive color mixture over time.

An image display apparatus includes: a light source unit including three or more light sources, combining lights from the light sources and emitting the combined light; a wavelength detector that detects, for each light source, wavelength information indicating the wavelength of light from the light source; a color value determiner that determines, for each light source, from the wavelength information, a color value indicating a color of light from the light source in a predetermined color space; a correction value determiner that determines, based on the color values, a correction value for correcting a ratio between the intensities of lights from the light sources so that the color of the combined light is a color to be displayed; and a driver that drives the light sources so that the ratio between the intensities of lights from the light sources is a ratio corrected based on the correction value.
