Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATION
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 18:
19. An image display apparatus, comprising:
a light source configured to emit emitted light;
a first sensor configured to detect a first value indicating a state of the emitted light;
a second sensor configured to detect a second value indicating a temperature adjacent to the light source; and
light source control circuitry configured to set an amount of current supplied to the light source by analyzing a combination of both the first value, being a first detection result of detection performed by the first sensor, and the second value, being a second detection result of detection performed by the second sensor,
wherein the light control circuitry is further configured to set a first target amount of current based on the first detection result and a stored initial brightness value, adjust the first target amount of current to a second target amount of current based on the second detection result, and control the current supplied to the light source based on the adjusted second target amount of current; and
wherein when the second detection result is higher than a first temperature that is higher than a specified reference temperature, the light source control circuitry is further configured to prevent the current supplied to the light source from being increased.
