Abstract:
A laser projection display device includes: a laser light source drive means; an attribute amount detection means for detecting the attribute amount of a picture signal; a light sensor (10) that measures the light amounts of the laser light sources; and a temperature sensor (11) that measures the temperatures of the laser light sources. The laser projection display device is configured so that the current vs. light amount output characteristics of the laser light sources with a threshold current and the current gain as a parameter are corrected in accordance with the load amount of the picture signal per frame if the change of the attribute amount exceeds a predefined amount; the light sources are driven at a predefined timing of the vertical blanking interval; controls the threshold currents and current gains in accordance with the light amounts; and the threshold currents and current gains are corrected on the basis of the measured temperatures.
Abstract:
A laser beam display device includes a dimming setting input unit into which a dimming value corresponding to one of a plural dimming steps may be input. A first dimming processing unit having plural dimming LUTs stores dimming amounts, regarding the respective dimming steps, with the corresponding gradation levels as indexes. A second dimming processing unit having one gain LUT, holding gains regarding the respective dimming steps, and a multiplier. This creates the indexes for the respective dimming LUTs by multiplying a video signal by the gains, and a light source drive unit drives a laser diode on the basis of reference results obtained by referring to the dimming LUTs of the first dimming processing unit. Thus the luminance of the emission beam of the laser diode, which corresponds to the video signal, is dimmed in accordance with a dimming setting input from the dimming setting input unit.
