Abstract

A video display apparatus includes plural light sources, plural light source driving portions configured to drive the plural light sources, a reflection mirror configured to reflect and project a light emitted from the light sources onto an object, a mirror driver portion configured to drive the reflection mirror, and a video processor portion configured to conduct signal processing on an input video signal. The lights of the light sources are incident upon the reflection mirror along differing axes so as to be projected onto differing areas and are combined so as to display a picture of an input video signal. The video processor portion effects control so that that a picture corresponding to a region where plural projection pictures optically overlap, is made up with the light emitted from one of the light sources, thereby reducing deterioration of picture quality.

Claims (19)

1 . A video display apparatus, comprising:

plural numbers of light sources;

plural numbers of light source driving portions, which are configured to drive said plural numbers of light sources;

a reflection mirror, which is configured to reflect a light emitting from said light sources, thereby projecting it onto an object;

a mirror driver portion, which is configured to drive said reflection mirror; and

a video processor portion, which is configured to conduct signal processing on an input video signal, wherein

the lights of said plural numbers of light sources are incident upon said reflection mirror along with axes differing from, so as to be projected onto projection areas differing from, and those are combined with, and thereby displaying a picture of one of input video signal, and

said video processor portion makes such a control that a picture corresponding to a region, where plural numbers of projection pictures optically overlap, is made up with the light emitting from one of said light sources.

2 . The video display apparatus, as is described in the claim 1 , said video processor portion makes such a control that one of said light sources emits the light while other light source does not emit the light, in said area, so that the picture corresponding to the region, where the plural numbers of projection pictures optically overlap with, is made up with the light emitting from the one of said light sources.

3 . The video display apparatus, as is described in the claim 1 , said video processor portion makes such a control that one of said light sources emits the light while other light source does not emit the light, in said area, so that the picture corresponding to the region, where the plural numbers of projection pictures optically overlap with, is made up with the light emitting from the one of said light sources, and conducts a distortion compensation process so that a desired picture is displayed in said area.

4 . A video display apparatus, comprising:

a first laser optic portion, which is configured to irradiate an upper-side picture of a picture to be displayed;

a second laser optic portion, which is configured to irradiate a lower-side picture of the picture to be displayed;

a reflection mirror, which is configured to make a beam light of said first laser optic portion and a beam light of said second laser optic portion scanning two-dimensionally;

a distortion detect portion, which is configured to detect an amount of irradiation distortion on a displayed picture; and

a video processor portion having a coordinate transforming portion, which is configured to transform a display position of video information upon basis of the amount of irradiation distortion detected by said distortion detect portion, and a masking process portion, which is configured to control a light emission of laser beam in an area where a beam scanning line due to said first laser optic portion and a beam scanning line due to said second laser optic portion overlap on each other, wherein

said first laser optic portion and said second laser optic portion emit the laser beams upon basis of the video information, which is processed by said video processor portion.

5 . The video display apparatus, as described in the claim 4 , wherein

said first laser optic portion and said second laser optic portion are provide along with a rotation axis of said reflection mirror in the scanning thereof in the horizontal direction, in such a manner that the optical axis of the beam directs to a rotation center of said reflection mirror.
