- the generation processing of the light emission signal, the driving signal, and the angle signal in the driving unit 121A is the same as that of the driving unit 121, and whether or not correction is performed in the correction unit 122A and the correction processing are the same as those of the correction unit 122. . Further, the drive unit 121A and the correction unit 122A may use a flag signal instead of the angle signal.
- the shape of the screen support member 200 is different from that in the first and second embodiments.
- FIG. 17 is a view showing the screen support member 200 of the present embodiment, and more specifically, a side view showing the vicinity of the screen support member 200 provided along the vertical direction of the screen 100.
- the transmission part 201 of the screen support member 200 has a taper structure, and the side surface of the transmission part 201 forms a taper angle ⁇ with respect to the surface of the screen.
- the structure of the shielding part 202 is the same as 1st embodiment.
- the length of the lower surface of the transmission part 201 is 2d 2
- the length of the upper surface of the transmission part 201 is 2d 1 .
- the advantage of the transmissive portion 201 having a tapered structure is that projection light can be prevented from being reflected by the surface of the transmissive portion 201 and incident on the screen, so that image disturbance can be further reduced. is there.
- the taper angle ⁇ is set so that the reflected light is at least parallel to the screen. That is, the taper angle ⁇ is set to satisfy ⁇ ⁇ 90 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ / 2.
- ⁇ is the auxiliary angle ⁇ described above.
- the height h of the transmission unit 201 that allows the projection light of the projector 1 to pass through the transmission unit 201 to reach the boundary of the projection region and that the projection light of the projector 1 is not incident on the projection region of another projector is ,
- the length d 2 of the lower surface of the transmission part 201 is
- the incident angle ⁇ n is determined by using the taper angle ⁇ and the refractive index n,
- the vertical correction amount includes the time until the vertical scanning angle changes from ⁇ v to ⁇ v at the corrected vertical scanning angular velocity ⁇ (t), regardless of whether the transmission unit 201 has a taper structure or not. There is no change in the conditional expression that makes the time until the vertical scanning angle changes from ⁇ v to ⁇ v at the previous vertical scanning angular velocity ⁇ 0 (t). For this reason, the correction unit 122 can obtain the vertical correction amount using Equations 4 and 7.
- the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, since it is possible to reduce the disturbance of the image due to the influence of the reflected light from the transmission unit 201, it is possible to further reduce the disturbance of the projection image.
- the light source is not limited to a light source using an LD, and can be changed as appropriate.
- the light source may be a light source using a solid laser element.
- the shielding unit 202 may not be provided.
- the correction unit 122 may determine the vertical correction amount g (n) using the approximate expression of Expression 4 instead of using Expression 4.
- the vertical correction amount g (n) is the vertical distance by which the incident position of the projection light on the screen 100 moves from the side surface to the center of the transmission unit 201, as in the calculation of the horizontal correction amount f (n).
- the vertical correction amount g (n) is approximately
- the correction unit 122 calculates the vertical correction amount g (n) as an approximate expression.
