The present invention provides a projection display device configured to solve a caption dropout problem. CPU 3 determines a correction amount required to correct an image signal for distortion. Scaler 4 corrects the image signal for distortion based on the correction amount. Caption signal processing circuit 5 adjusts the display content of a caption signal based on the correction amount in such a manner that the entire caption indicated by the caption signal is displayed. Display image generation circuit 6 synthesizes the caption signal with the display content thereof adjusted by caption signal processing circuit 5, with the image signal corrected by scaler 4. Projection section 7 projects the synthesized image signal.
