Abstract:
1. A projection-type display device, comprising: a light source; a spatial light modulation element that modulates incident light according to an applied image signal and that emits the modulated light; an illumination optical system that condenses light from said light source and that illuminates said spatial light modulation element; a projection lens that projects light emitted from said spatial light modulation element; an image signal correction unit that divides a picture plane of said spatial light modulation element into a plurality of areas, and performs color unevenness and brightness unevenness correction on said image signal applied to said spatial light modulation element for each of said plurality of areas in accordance with an f number at a current zoom position of said projection lens; and an f number notification unit that detects the f number of the projection lens and notifies the image signal correction unit the detected f number, the image signal correction unit performing the color unevenness and brightness unevenness correction on the image signal applied to the spatial light modulation element for each of said plurality of areas in accordance with the detected f number at the current zoom position of the projection lens.
