Display system, display apparatus, and method for controlling display system for displaying one image by combining two images

1. A display system for displaying one image on a display surface by superimposing a part of a first image displayed by a first display apparatus and a part of a second image displayed by a second display apparatus thereby combining the first image and the second image, wherein:

the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus are projection apparatuses;

the first display apparatus displays a first index image at a position which is close to the image displayed by the second display apparatus in an area which is included in a display range of the first display apparatus and which is not superimposed with the image displayed by the second display apparatus, the first index image having a predetermined color and the image having luminances which are changed in a direction parallel to a side adjacent to the image displayed by the second display apparatus; and

the first display apparatus corrects the image displayed by the first display apparatus on the basis of a designated position of the first index image.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the second display apparatus displays the image having a lowest luminance of the predetermined color when the first display apparatus displays the first index image.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first display apparatus displays the image having the predetermined color in an area other than the first index image at the luminance corresponding to the designated position of the first index image.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein:

the second display apparatus displays a second index image at a position which is close to the image displayed by the first display apparatus and which is included in a display range of the second display apparatus, the second index image having a predetermined color and the image having luminances which are changed in a direction parallel to a side adjacent to the image displayed by the first display apparatus; and

the second display apparatus corrects the image displayed by the second display apparatus on the basis of a designated position of the second index image.

5. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first display apparatus corrects the image displayed by the first display apparatus so that the luminance, which corresponds to the designated position of the first index image, is a lowest luminance of the image having the predetermined color.

6. The display system according to claim 4 , wherein the second display apparatus corrects the image displayed by the second display apparatus so that the luminance, which corresponds to the designated position of the second index image, is a lowest luminance of the image having the predetermined color.

7. The display system according to claim 4 , wherein the second display apparatus displays the second index image at a position close to the image displayed by the first display apparatus in an area which is not superimposed with the image displayed by the first display apparatus.

8. A first display apparatus for displaying one image composed of a first image and a second image on a display surface by projecting the first image onto a position adjacent to the second image projected by a second display apparatus, the first display apparatus comprising:

a display unit which displays the image on the display surface; and

a receiving unit which receives the image to be displayed on the display surface, wherein:

the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus are projection apparatuses;

the display unit displays the image by superimposing a part of the image displayed by the second display apparatus and a part of the image displayed by the display unit;

the display unit displays a first index image at a position which is close to the image displayed by the second display apparatus in an area which is included in a display range of the display unit and which is not superimposed with the image displayed by the second display apparatus, the first index image having a predetermined color and the image having luminances which are changed in a direction parallel to a side adjacent to the image displayed by the second display apparatus; and

the display unit corrects the image received by the receiving unit on the basis of a designated position of the first index image.

9. The first display apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display unit displays the image having the predetermined color in an area other than the first index image at the luminance corresponding to the designated position of the first index image.

10. The first display apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display unit corrects the image received by the receiving unit so that the luminance, which corresponds to the designated position of the first index image, is a lowest luminance of the image having the predetermined color.

11. A method for controlling a display system for displaying one image on a display surface by superimposing a part of a first image displayed by a first display apparatus and a part of a second image displayed by a second display apparatus thereby combining the first image and the second image, wherein the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus are projection apparatuses, the method comprising:

controlling the first display apparatus so that a first index image is displayed at a position which is close to the image displayed by the second display apparatus in an area which is included in a display range of the first display apparatus and which is not superimposed with the image displayed by the second display apparatus, the first index image having a predetermined color and the image having luminances which are changed in a direction parallel to a side adjacent to the image displayed by the second display apparatus; and

controlling the first display apparatus so that the image displayed by the first display apparatus is corrected on the basis of a designated position of the first index image.

12. A method for controlling a first display apparatus for displaying one image composed of a first image and a second image on a display surface by projecting the first image onto a position adjacent to the second image projected by a second display apparatus, wherein the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus are projection apparatuses, the method comprising:

receiving the image to be displayed on the display surface;

displaying the one image by superimposing a part of the image displayed by the second display apparatus and a part of the image displayed by the first display apparatus;

displaying a first index image at a position which is close to the image displayed by the second display apparatus in an area which is included in a display range of the first display apparatus and which is not superimposed with the image displayed by the second display apparatus, the first index image having a predetermined color and the image having luminances which are changed in a direction parallel to a side adjacent to the image displayed by the second display apparatus; and

correcting the image received by the receiving step on the basis of a designated position of the first index image.

13. The method for controlling the first display apparatus according to claim 12 further comprising:

displaying an image having the predetermined color in an area other than the first index image at the luminance corresponding to the designated position of the first index image.

14. The method for controlling the first display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein

in the correcting step, the image received in the receiving step is corrected so that the luminance, which corresponds to the designated position of the first index image, is a lowest luminance of the image having the predetermined color.
