Liquid crystal projector
A liquid crystal projector includes a liquid crystal panel having a pixel circuit that modulates light based on video data corresponding to each of pixels, and a shift device configured to shift the modulated light by the pixel circuit so that a position of a projected pixel on a screen by the modulated light is shifted for each of the pixels, wherein the pixel circuit modulates n pixels of a first group, n being an integer of 2 or more, from among pixels of an image specified by video data in first frame period, and modulates n pixels of a second group in second frame period next to the first frame period, and the n pixels of the first group are different from the n pixels of the second group.
1. A liquid crystal projector comprising:
a liquid crystal panel having a pixel circuit that modulates light based on video data corresponding to each of pixels of an image specified by the video data; and
a shift device configured to shift the modulated light by the pixel circuit so that a position of a projected pixel on a screen by the modulated light is shifted for each of the pixels, wherein
the pixel circuit modulates n pixels of a first group, n being an integer of 2 or more, from among the pixels in first frame period, and modulates n pixels of a second group from among the pixels in second frame period next to the first frame period,
the n pixels of the first group correspond to one pixel of the liquid crystal panel,
the n pixels of the second group correspond to the one pixel of the liquid crystal panel, and
the n pixels of the first group share one common pixel with the n pixels of the second group, with the other pixels of the n pixels of the first group being different from the other pixels of the n pixels of the second group.
2. The liquid crystal projector according to claim 1 , wherein
the shift device is configured to shift the position of the projected pixel along a first axis and along a second axis different from the first axis so that a maximum value of a shifting amount along the first axis is substantially equal to a maximum value of a shifting amount along the second axis consistent.
3. The liquid crystal projector according to claim 1 , wherein
the liquid crystal panel includes
a first liquid crystal panel corresponding to a first color, the first liquid crystal panel having a first pixel circuit;
a second liquid crystal panel corresponding to a second color different from the first color, the second liquid crystal panel having a second pixel circuit; and
a third liquid crystal panel corresponding to a third color different from the first color and the second color, the third liquid crystal panel having a third pixel circuit, and
the liquid crystal panel combines modulated light by the first pixel circuit, modulated light by the second pixel circuit, and modulated light by the third pixel circuit, thereby forming the projected pixel.
4. The liquid crystal projector according to claim 1 , wherein
the common pixel has a position that does not shift between the first frame and the second frame.
